Extreme rust, tailgate cables broke in use, had to replace. Tailgate still won't latch properly, dropping open while driving/hauling fairly often; brake line rusted out, replaced before had accident; whole frame rusted - under carriage//tire wells/drive shaft/around reece hitch so I worry about pulling trailer/hailing. Horn has rusted off. Only 77,000 miles as I do not drive it daily, just to work around my place or pickup/haul/trailer something. Gm needs recall to address this rust issue because it is a major safety issue.
