The frame is severely rusting out. Was found during an oil change by a certified mechanic. This will cause serious safety concerns as the frame will break. After researching this issue online, it appears this is a common problem others are having with Chevrolet. I believe others have filled complaints and look forward to a recall to fix these vehicles. Sincerely, [xxx] and [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
The frame rotted in the middle of the vehicle causing an unsafe situation.
Cracks in dash by passenger airbag and driver instrument cluster. Looks like it could be a hazard if vehicle is in a collision.
Dash near airbag is cracking. Common issue with gm vehicles.
I got a code p2138 throttle/pedal position sensor/switch. Upon doing my own research on this code I found out it is a manufacture defect. And they are aware this is caused because the manufacturer did not seal the antenna correctly so water gets in and damages wires and sensors.
The dash has cracked all up.
Purchased a truck with a tampered odometer and a title with falsified information. Truck odometer reads: 113,677 auto history report odometer reading is 230,184 vehicle title odometer reading is 23018 with a digit clearly scratched off.
Rusted frame. Weekend structure. Can cause complete loss, dangerous, should be buy backs or added structure for frame damages. No protective devices,coatings,nothing to prevent rusting on frame that holds motor,transmission and over all vehicle together. This is a death sentence to owners of this truck. It cost me 2700. To have extra metal welded on the early rusted out frame to avoid disaster and accidents. This is something the manufacturer should have fixed since it is clearly a manufacturing defect. This should not have been happening at any stage of owning these trucks.
