Replaced the transmission 4 times, recall on seats were fixed but bolts keep breaking so I bought new seats of a differnt style and replaced them after a 5 year problem. Paint has been flaking off the truck for appoximately 4 yrs and I cant get the dealer or gm to do anything with this paint problem. They say it is because I am the second owner. The truck was in an accident but the top of the cab and the bed is all that needs painted, and they were not damaged in anyway because of the accident.

What owners say
Problems with vehicle slipping out of gear while driving.*mr the vehicle went from drive to neutral while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who told the consumer that a new transmission would cost him $4000.00 and to rebuild an old one would be $3000.00. The consumer has made ongoing complaints about the vehicle and feels the cost of the transmission should be lowered. Not only has the vehicle experienced problems with the transmission ,but the roof of the truck including the replacement of the head liner that now hangs down which was due to the roof leaking, the consumer had to replace the drivers side seat belt retractor as well as the radio system. *cb the vehicle also had a broken seat back recliner, the ignition switch would not turn off, the 4 wheel drive would not engage, the shocks were bad and the vehicle was in need of an alignment.
This is the second time the transmission went out. The paint is peeling so bad it is down to the metal. The drivers side power window gets stuck at various positions.
