TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A CRUNCH NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE NOISE GREW LOUDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER.

I WENT TO INSTALL BRAKES WHEN THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE JOUNCE BUMBER MISSING, BUT WHEN HE LOOKED CLOSER HE NOTICED IT WAS ROTTED. THE JOUNCE BUPER BRACKET IS PART OF THE FRAME AND IT COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. I CALLED GM AND THEY INSPECTED IT AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I SAID TOYOTA REPLACED ALL THE CHASIS ROTTING OUT IN THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, THIS WOULD BE THE SAME THE SALT BRINE IS ROOTING OUT FRAMES AND THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE. THEY WILL NOT EVEN BUY IT BACK. I NEED YOUR HELP.

TODAYS DATE IS 04/20/2013 #1- WHEEL ALIGNMENT FRONT TO BACK, WHERE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE STICKS OUT FROM BODY. #2- THIS IS MY FORTH SET OF TIRES BECAUSE OF ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. #3- REAR TAIL LIGHTS SEEM TO BE BURNED OUT, THEY ARE NOT IT A POOR SOCKET PROBLEM, I LUBE WITH ELECTRICAL GREASE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE INTRODUCING THE MARKET WITH MAKING MORE OF THE PROBLEMS FOR THE NEW LINE 2014 AND BEYOND. THIS IS THE WORST CHEVROLET I EVER OWNED THE 2004 COLORADO. I HAVE OWNED 14 CHEVYS, WILL CHEVYS BE IN MY FUTURE? *TR
