Engine Durablity Stinks
by DG from Douglas, AZ on 03/15/2002.
Trim: 1996 Chevrolet Express G1500, Owned 3 years.
1
Pros:
Very comfortable to ride in.
Cons:
The vehicle was maintained properly over the time that I have owned it. But the engine somehow froze up this past weekend and will now cost me over $3,000 to get it fixed or replaced. The engine only has approx. 75,000 miles on it. This vehicle also handles poorly and the braking and accelerating are sluggish.
Overall review:
I had planned on this being our over the road vehicle for several years but have only owned it 2 1/2 years and already have to put in over $3,000 dollars in to the engine. You would think that the engine would be more durable than this and should be able to last with proper care for well over 100,000 miles. I will not ever buy a GM vehicle again. The engines just don't aren't durable enough for people who want to keep the same vehicle for a long time.
