1 Body problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2018

I had a crack in the windshield and when they replaced it the technician said it was so rusted from the inside that if anything happened again they would not replace it he had to really do some work arounds he said to even replace this one. That makes me feel that this is a real safety issue if we were to get in a serious accident. There is no rust on the outside around the windshield at all. So I was very surprised when the technician told me that.

2 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2014

Since roughly June of 2014 complete vehicle shakes violently when brakes are applied. I have had it looked at and have been told that it is the brake lines abs and needs replacement. I am a single father of two boys struggling financially and cannot afford new brake lines. I also have a current situation where the rear bumper is completely rotted through and as a result cannot pass state vehicle inspection I have searched for 2 months and cannot find a used rear bumper and manufacturer cost is $450-$500 which I cannot afford at the moment. I have always had a GMC pickup and am very dissatisfied with my present situation as I have only put 25,000 miles on the vehicle since purchased.
