Due to faulty undercoating from factory the back crossmembers rot and cause shocks to become displaced and gas tank to unsecured along with rear shakels to go threw the bottom of truck bed. . . . Will cost over $2500 for repairs.
While looking over my truck prior to inspection I discovered three cross members totally rusted thru. The are also the main supports for the gas tank and the shocks. I have been trying to find replacement parts and the more I look the more I hear how common the rusted cross members are. I went to the local dealers parts dept. And when I asked for cross members he told me which ones I needed and pointed them out on an illustrated brake down. After the truck bed was removed I noticed the emergency brake cable is rubbing against the plastic gas tank and is just about wore thru the tank to about the thickness of a plastic sandwich bag. The cable has also rubbed against it's support bracket almost all the way thru as well as into the cable.
The range indicator stated 54 miles, yet ran out of fuel. Gauge read 1/4 tank. The next time range was 89 miles and ran out.
