1 Underbody Shield problem of the 2001 Chevrolet K1500

Failure Date: 12/14/2012

I have tried to stay with a gm product but the truck I recently purchased had the following problems,while trying also to avoid the most common problem of the gm bad frame,by the way Toyota warranties there frames. The 1st month of ownership the rear spring shackles broke there are 30 year old trucks that still don't have this problem,I own one. Next about another 30 days go by the electric fuel pump decided to die. That so far brings repairs up to close to 650. 00 after 60 days. Last wk. My brake line failed @ about 50 mph,no warning light right to the floor. This truck had been taken care of . Should I continue about the hole in my windshield frame every time it rains my ash tray is filled with water. By the way I was quoted about 1400. 00 for all the brake line repairs. Wtf gm who has that kind of money for repairs,I dont. The public should be compensated for substandard material use.

2 Underbody Shield problem of the 2005 Chevrolet K1500

Failure Date: 11/01/2012

The brake lines ,fuel lines and the frame crossmembers are all severely rusted. It just is a matter of time before I loose my brakes, go up in flames or drop my gas tank onto the highway. The body on this truck is not too bad. It has 92,000 miles on it, and it is cleaned quite often. The undercarriage is rusted very badly. I expected more from something that costs so much. Cant afford a new one and if I could it wouldn't be a gm. Have always owned gm in the past.
