WHEN TURNING ONTO MY RESIDENTIAL STREET I HAD SEVERE VIBRATION IN STEERING. I PARKED SUV BECAUSE IT WAS DARK. THE NEXT MORNING SUV WAS TAKEN TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED THAT BOTH HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE LINES HAD RUSTED IN TWO, UNDER CLAMP ATTACHED TO LEFT FENDER WELL THAT HOLDS LINES IN PLACE. DEALERSHIP BLAMED SALT AND ROAD MOISTURE FOR PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH CLAMP IS LOCATED IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEAR TOP OF FENDER WELL. REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT OF LINES WERE $925. *TR
BOUGHT A USED 2008 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FROM A DEALERSHIP, AFTER 1 1/2 YEARS OF OWNING IT, I HAD TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ALREADY. IT HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
