That is how I wound up getting a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD . . .
I had a 2010 Chevy Cobalt that was not on any recall list until this past summer . . . then all of a sudden it had a boatload of recalls!
Including the ignition switch!
While I was in getting the power steering recall fixed, I was told by the service manager to go and talk with the sales manager about special bonuses for trading in a GM vehicle with multiple recalls.
Funny . . . traded in that car back in August, and just got another recall notice in the mail for it about a week ago!
