SS1316 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 dealer just install new cats a little over a two months now Last week I started to here a rattling noise only when you step on the gas but it wasn't the engine I knew this to be a fact Well SES light came on today(well yestarday) Took it to the dealer it had a code P0429 I think. Something to do with the flow on bank one and that was my rattle the cat. So they told me that it had to be replaced again In the past six months they replaced "10" fuel injectors(yes 10), fuel rail, fuel pump, 2 fuel filters both pre cat o2 sensors, both cats (pipes from manifold to muffler) and evac system now the cats again I'm the only driver 93 octan from day one exxon, mobil, shell, bp, ammaco, texico and 66 that all no other brand 8715 miles on it know got it with 27 miles on it. It has a little engine mods, NX direct port system but havent shot it in maybe 9 months What do you guy think am I doing something wrong or is it a "LEMON" Well i'm in a rental again 2005 malibu max real nice car and its got a V6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Theres gotta be something else... theres no reason that should ever happen, let alone twice in such a short time. Sure you didn't get a bad tank of gas... or someone dump something in your tank when you weren't around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdogx Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Man it going to be tuff putting my self into another chevy even though the sss is one of the nicest trucks ive ever drivin, it's still a chevy and i refuse to go thru these type of problems again. It will be very intrusting to see how these trucks are when they get up over 70k and if there reliability is still there or if it does what every other chevy i have owned does, and break on a monthly basis.It just might be a new tacoma for me instead of the sss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my 5th consecutive Chevy and I haven't had a major problem with any of them... looks like you've been buying the ones built on Friday!

ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Ouch, maybe its a lemon, or your dealer doesn't have any idea how to fix trucks. Maybe time to trade in on a 05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDCRAVIN Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Sounds like you need to try to find another dealership to take it to. Sounds like to me that they haven't a clue... JOSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS1316 Posted November 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 this is the second dealer the first dealer cost me 2 grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony-CA Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 If you live in California youd definately win a lemon law case. I won my case. My previous SS was in the shop for 42 days for various problems, the main one being a rear seat clunk at the seat hooks. Ive had my blue one for 2 months now without any problems at all.
