No september 3rd 2016 I was at stutz excavating driving for them and went I got off and walked to my pickup I got in the turned the key and the hour meter was on 00.0 and the miles had 127300 or so I had just change the oil and had over 4000 hrs on my truck someone broke in and hacked my pickup in stutz exc lot and on dec 20th I was leaving dr bugers lot at 5:10 pm and my head light would not work I got home and the headlights worked fine I since they read about car hacks and pulled the radio fuse and and truck had no more problems infill april 28 my truck would not go I revers and the door locks locks themself and the hrs were going up with driving it the dealer said you can not earese the hour on that truck they are burned in the computer. So if stutz can remove the hour they can remove the miles from the truck I got police reports on the vw jetta but none on the pickup the pickup and car was moving threw edwardsville when the headlights went out I got home with my fog lights and again the edwardsville police are friends with stutz and told me it can't happen so now I live in fear that stutz can shut my lights off on a rainy night on a dark road mike weber at 3832 ramond rd is chris stutz father in law so most of the brack in have been happing at home and again cops refuse to believe me

As I was driving someone pulled out in front of me so close I had to press on the brake pedal pretty firmly as I did the brakes went to the floor, luckily I have a manual transmission I downshifted in time to miss the other car and pull over only to see the intermediate brake line rusted through along the frame rail.
This vehicle is a duramax 2500 (diesel), the first thing that happened was the engine hours reset itself to zero the dealer said it needed a new instrument cluster then the gear shift indicator quit working so you have to count each time you move it to know what gear you are in I feel this presents a safety hazard and should be fixed by the manufacturer. Thank you .
The entire brake line system is rusted, as well the drive shafts and u-joints. This truck is well maintained and these rusted parts may cause severe personal damage.
