Truck purchased by my father in 2010 from chevrolet dealership. I purchased the truck from him in 2016. The truck has under 120,000 miles and due to faulty engine and sensors the vehicle has seized leaving me with thousands in repair and no vehicle. Thr vehicle broke down on me with my children several times losing pwoer, shaking uncontrollably. There was oil and the pressure unit did not read low or shut the truck down.. My truck also has an airbag recall from 2016 that there is no remedy for. I still make payments on this vehicle and it is extremely unsafe costing thousands for repair. Gm should be responsible for faulty vehicles.
