My chevy's have been the most reliable cars that I've ever owned!

158k on my 2002 truck driven like a fricken taxi cab, 20k of towing trailers dirt roads, etc. only failures so far

1. parking brake release cable broke.

2. tranny failed.... the day after I towed a 22' x 8' x 7' trailer up the grape vine 2 speeds up to 90 mph! (It also got the diff hot enough to melt the paint off of the diff cover - yes, I changed the grease)

3. the plastic trim that covers the handle broke.

I've moved several people with it and at least 20 people have borrowed it.

it still has the original brakes and rotors. oh and the first time it got a real service other than oil and fluids was @ 100k


The che'vette. 2006 now with 48k and two track days.

1. warranty service on the diff ( I used it to replace the diff fluid after a track day.)

2. the roof delaminated covered under warranty ( they had a bad bunch of roofs)

3, drivers window was chipped by a loose screw that a teck messed up during the roof exchange.

4. it got hit by a stone into the a/c condenser



I have replaced the brakes and rotors
