   My 2015 Chevy Silverado, at 58,600 miles, started having problems with the Fuel Sensor. It wouldn't pick up speed. I had to get the fuel pump sensor changed twice already in January and July of 2024. I am experiencing the same issue again now, and it is now showing an emission code, too. I am only at 69,000 miles. This should be a Recall. There should not be these kinds of issues on a vehicle when it's been fixed for the same issue over and over.

   I bought this vehicle last November from Shea. When we bought the truck we noticed the check engine light, but was told that we would have to bring it back in for inspection. The last vehicle we bought from Shea it had a 30 day return and it would fix any problems. Not so with this time. So, we purchased a Platinum warranty which was a little above $2K and we believed would cover these issues. That was not the case. We had a friend of ours who is a GM Mechanic look it over…

I went to disconnect the hose and the plastic piece broke instantly fully cracking apart. Thankfully this was in my driveway and…
