| This is the first new vehicle we have ever bought. but not a good expreience, we have always had gm products with no problems. we just had the truck in the garage and they put it on the computer, it said code po137 02 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 replace also code po300 misfire #7 cylinder replace injector and fuel pressure regulator. this cost 448.78. also po300 misfire #7 cylinder replace injector and fuel pressure regulator and code po463 fuel level sensor needs fuel sensor replaced at a cost of 301.00. we can't afford this at this time. they also said both front wheel bearings with speed sensors need replaced at a cost of 642.00. we can't have this done now either. we are going to try to get along with the brake failure long enough to save money to fix. we replaced the battery sept 11th at a cost of 65.00 and an alighment in june at a cost of 47.00 and rear brake rotors and pads replaced in july at a cost of 279.00. we had thought of trading or selling outright and getting another truck, but can't sell it as it is. | |||
