Power Train Problems of Chevrolet SSR

Put the truck in reverse and the transmission cable broke. It is plastic and the catalytic converter heats the plastic and cracks it. The underhood fuse block went while driving. The truck shut off on me while I was driving and would not restart. The dealer said this is a big issue with this truck. I had to spend 600 dollars for a new box. My abs pump also went dealer said this is because of the heat from the catalytic converter and that this is a big issue on this truck also. Also the running boards on the truck were chrome. They have peeled and started to flake. The dealer said it looks like water got in them and caused it to do that and that it was another problem on this truck. It was hit and miss on some of them.

The engine rattles at any rpm. Check engine light p0430 indicates failed catalytic converter (gm dealer verified). First time it happened was at 15000 miles in 2011, happened again now in 2014 at 47000 miles. When replaced at 15000 miles, it was covered under federal warranty 8yr/80000miles. Now Chevrolet refuses to cover the cost ($1600 for the part, est. $300 in labor). Dealership manager offered to do all the work under a $500 'customer deductible'. I accepted the offer and was told the part is on back order. It's been over a month now and my truck continues to rattle with the check engine light on. Dealership claims the current condition will not pass state inspection. My complaint is the catalytic converter has failed twice sine the vehicle was put into service and the replacement part has no signs of being available anytime soon.
