On 09/30/2020, I purchase a used 2017 Chevrolet 2500HD work truck. Since the day I started driving, I been replacing tires every 2-3 months. I was told by different people, it-??s normal because of weight. I took the truck to, suspension specialist, he said it was axle and wanted to charge 4000, didn-??t have that money and decided to change tires, instead. I called dealer and explain, he said that maybe I cause it. This people are no help. Today, 11/18/2021- 5:18 pm, the center of the truck, between cab and rear bed, is sunken, it looks like the body frame got bent. It-??s bad. I call dealer and spoke to Mr. Arbi, he said there-??s nothing he can do and it-??s my problem. I-??m not going to start arguing and just told him thank you and decide to report him. When I bought it, I was told it was on a minor accident, nothing major. I don-??t think so. I-??m no expert, and I can see the body frame, bent. This dealer got me upset, just thinking that I-??m stuck with this problem, and now I need to figure out how to fix, is the body frame. Please, help me, advise, what can I do, since I finance this truck. I, can-??t drive it, I need to tow. I wish I can send picture. Thank you, any information will be appreciated. Miles when I bought, approx. 75000+. Miles today 11/18/2021. 143764

Feb 5th 2019 my truck was parked in my driveway and the blockheater eas plugged into my electrical outlet on my garage and at 1:00 a.M. I was awakened to a loud explosion. When I finally figured out the cause my truck and garage were on fire. 3 months later found out GM had recalled almost 400,000 trucks my same year, make and model due to engineblock heater cords shorting out apparently. I have yet to receive a notice on my truck. The accident was a total loss and there was damage done to my garage. ## VIN passed ## Chevy Silverado 2500 hd 2017 ##

Interior driver side front driver window button not always working. At times when this happens the door ajar is lit, while the door may be shut, it doesn't latch completely. This happens when the vehicle is in motion or in park. This causes the interior lamps to stay on and drain out the battery. I did have it serviced under warranty. Problem was solved, until today 08/10/2018.
