Narrative

1st incident My son was driving the truck when all the emergency lights came on. He pulled over and the engine was on fire. He ran to a strangers house to get buckets of water not safe for my child at all. Come to find out that an engine rod slipped and put three holes through the engine causing oil to spill and a fire unbelievable! Lucky my son wasn’t injured. Chevy blames my son for that! Not acceptable! 2nd incident 1 month later my son calls and tells me when he started the truck it began making noise. He again got stuck with this truck because it lost complete power. Come to find out the transmission went. Chevy blamed my son again! Really come on! We have paid more for this truck than drive it. Now they are taking the warranty away. Please help. Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
