Body problems of the 2013 GMC Sierra 1500

During an oil change in may I was informed that my frame was extremely rotted and was in jeopardy of cracking in half . The further I dig into this, I'm finding that gm is aware of this issue. The vehicle is available for inspection.

Roof rust at the windshield on a perfect condition vehicle. Paint is excellent on rest of vehicle. No damage or accidents and properly maintained. Premature rust is now visible at the roof of the of the vehicle. Soon could rot and allow water into cab of vehicle.

Rear half of frame crossmembers rotted away between the frame rails. Took vehicle in for routine safety inspection, and the mechanic determined that the cross members to which the rear shocks and the gas tank were attached had both broken free from the frame rails due to rust. The entire back end of the vehicle is suspended from the frame with only the leaf spring mounts. This rust is excessive and far exceeds the rust on other points on the frame and undercarriage of the vehicle.

I’ve only had the truck for 1 years and the frame is so deteriorated and rusted. My frame is now cracked/damaged. I’ve read up on the same manufacturer/trucks and it seems like an ongoing problem.

The interior and exterior door handles broke on both doors on my 2013 GMC sierra truck. There was no warnings and my safety was at risk because the only way to enter or exit the vehicle is to crawl out the window.

On 8-25-20, I took my 2013 GMC sierra to an automotive repair shop in genesee, WI, for a brakes and shocks inspection/repair. They refused to work on it because they said the frame was �broken and cracked� due to excessive rust perforating the frame. The service manager told me my sierra should not be driven because it is unsafe, especially since the worst frame damage is immediately adjacent to the gas tank. I was shocked because my vehicle is in otherwise excellent condition! on 8-26-20, I called and sent photos (see attached) to the service manager at the GMC dealership in waupaca, WI, where I had purchased the vehicle new. He stated he would not drive my sierra and nor should I. He referred the matter to his gm rep to set up an official gm pet case. The case was subsequently refused due to �no history� at the waupaca dealership. They suggested I call a GMC dealer in waukesha where I do have an established history. The service manager there also said my sierra should not be driven and that �the frame could buckle if put on a hoist. � he also refused to help me. On 9-2-20, I contacted gm customer care and received an escalated case number. On 9-9-20, a senior advisor from customer care said she would look into the matter but could not guarantee anything because the vehicle was �out of warranty� with its 115,000 miles. On 9-17-20, the advisor said the only thing gm would do is offer me a $2,500 allowance if I would trade in my GMC for a new model. I rejected this offer as I firmly believe the rusted and perforated frame is a manufacturer's defect and should be recalled. This is obviously a serious and dangerous safety issue that all owners of 2013 sierras should immediately be made aware of!.

The edge where the front windshield and the roof meet the paint has flaked away and started to rust the undercoat.

�tajara recall� I have a consern about my dash cover it's crack from where the passenger airbag and the center of the of the dash. Wile going in google how to replace the dash there wher a numeres of complaints about the same issue on all GMC sierra and chevy silverado from years 2007-2013. I think this could be a safety consern in case of an accident and air bags ignite the dash cover could break in pieces and and someone could get seriously injured I'm saying for my safety and my family safety as well .

I haven't had the truck for that long and I take very good care of it. So the fact that my door handles and siding are falling off of the truck just shows that you used very cheap products for a non-cheap vehicle. GMC should be ashamed. I'm thinking about going with a Ford. Didn't see any bullshit problems like this on their recall list.

My roof has developed "peeling paint" to expose the primer.
