Driving home south on [XXX] from New Brunswick. The motor started acting weird. It gave me a low power message and then shut off and I coasted to the shoulder. After finally getting it, restarted the engine started and make noise from the bottom end I had went to Chevy again and I asked him to do a pico test and they refused. They said my truck is too old.

As noted in my last report that I sent to you now my truck needs an engine because of a road knock. This is the second engine. It was changed in 2011 and Iâve been complaining about this and I wanted Chevy to do a pico test they refused to do it because theyâre telling me itâs too old but the truck only 111842 miles on it As prior complaint coming back from Cape May, the truck stalled I toasted to the side and it took a long time for it to start back up and when it did, it started knocking real loud Now Chevy refuses to do anything about this. Maybe I could get some response out of you. Thank you for your help.

Air bag code and light on dash code B0085-00 . Code is set when the key is in on position and the door is opened. Left front side impact sensor. I am a master technician and determined wiring problem between the driver door and cab . Performed search on line common problem. This is a safety issue and should be addressed. Thank you
As a safety recall, I did take the truck in for the airbag recall upon completion. I ran the codes and I have an airbag code. Theyâre saying that the dashboard was broken before they started. It was not. They broke it on installation of the new airbag.
