irv Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Friend of mine purchased a 2016 GM 4x4 ext cab last summer and with likely under 25,000 km's it has been in the shop for a new rad, new brake lines and to have the speakers replaced. He knows I am not a fan of GM so I wouldn't doubt he is also holding some things back on me as well. He did mention something about a vibration but thinks it's tire related,,,,,,,,,,yeah right. Needless to say, he is disappointed knowing the these failures are not due to abuse nor rust, just shitty GM parts and pieces. Is it any wonder, both in the U.S. and Canada that GM is lagging behind Ford and Ram, even with all the incentives they constantly run. http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2017/04/usa-march-2017-pickup-truck-sales-stats-best-selling.html https://www.insurancehotline.com/the-best-selling-trucks-in-canada-which-are-cheapest-to-insure/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 hell that is not to bad my last z71 had already had its 1st full fr end rebuild and was only burning 1qt every 3k mi at that point . total junk they are all crap but at 96k my ford has only burnt up a heater switch and a o ring on some radiator hose went out not the body is junk bumpers are all rust and starting to get some tan peeking through left fender the bumpers were rusting yr 1 and that is ok according to fore they wont cover on a 9 mo old truck unless there is a hole . fucking joke . I want a new truck actually thinking on keeping the 13 for a work only because it has been so issue free and I have trashed the body and int pretty good .

gltland Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 bought a 2015 chevrolet 2500 diesel,so much play in steering wheel it was hard to keep in right lane,dealer kept saying it was my imagination so i ordered a 2016 diesel. the 2016 is worse than the 2015,it is on its 4th set of steering gears in 25000 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
