After talking to the GM they have taken care of all my issues at no charge.

" I called the dealership and they said I should have bought the extended warranty " Seeing as how they lied about the car, why would you believe them about this. Fact is, most of these "extended warranties" (actually service contracts) sold by used car dealers aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Buying one just means you have even less money when it comes time to pay repair bills. What you really should have done was to take the truck to a reputable mechanic and had it inspected BEFORE you bought it. This would include putting it on a diagnostic machine to ensure that the dealer hadn't reset the check engine light. Since dealers sell used cars "as is", and you have to sign a paper to that effect, you know that anything that comes up after you drive away is your problem. It only makes sense to ignore whatever the salesman says and get an independent opinion on the condition of the vehicle.
