2004 Chevy SS
My story begins as they all do with the promises, trials and tribulations of a dealer and manufacturer. Then you drive that new gem off the lot and lose 35% of its value and every problem that does not kill you is “your problem”. I bought a NEW Chevrolet 1500 SS. I have 5 recordable issues in the first 4 months of which 3 are unresolved. We are on the third trip to the shop with no end in site. The issues range from a rear passenger door that is out of square to the frame causing one hell of a noise and squeaking (stupid me for closing on the truck before it was fixed) through the engine and up to a yet to be determined “whine” from under the dash the emits a burn wire smell. That makes me feel good about taking the kids along. Hell, they have replaced many parts on the HVAC already. I requested a definitive answer that the truck was safe from my dealer in Denton Texas. The manager would not do that. This truck is new and only 4 MONTHS OLD!!!!! The Denton Texas dealer was so nice to offer me $13,000 LESS than what I paid for it if I wanted to trade it in!!!! Just shoot me comes to mind. My quest goes on. I did find help if your in the state of Texas from Tex DOT. There is a lemon law in Texas and they were very nice to help me. My advise to you, save your self from the pain and frustration. My Chevy Sucks!!!!
Soon I was to find out why Chevy named the truck the "SS" due to its ability to surpass the "P.O.S" status to the "P.O.SS".
