general problems of the 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche

Excessive rusting of the frame, brake lines, transmission lines, and fuel lines. The brake, transmission and fuel lines rusted completely out and required a full replacement. The frame has extensive rust and has deteriorated well beyond the frame of my 2003 camaro z28 which is 9 years older! the truck has less than 80k and has been well maintained, so there is no explanation for the amount and level of rust, except that there were inferior metals and manufacturing materials used in its construction.

As I was traveling on the highway at 70mph the engine sputtered and stopped running causing me to lose all power assist and to coast to the side of the highway. The vehicle was towed to my mechanic where it was discovered that the fuel line had rusted out and needed to be replaced at my expense.

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact stated the brake and fuel lines was rusted and leaking fluid. In addition, the contact stated that the frame was rusted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 140,000.

Engine shut down completely while driving. Brakes wasn't working properly.
