THE BRAKE LINES ,FUEL LINES AND THE FRAME CROSSMEMBERS ARE ALL SEVERELY RUSTED. IT JUST IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I LOOSE MY BRAKES, GO UP IN FLAMES OR DROP MY GAS TANK ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE BODY ON THIS TRUCK IS NOT TOO BAD. IT HAS 92,000 MILES ON IT, AND IT IS CLEANED QUITE OFTEN. THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS RUSTED VERY BADLY. I EXPECTED MORE FROM SOMETHING THAT COSTS SO MUCH. CANT AFFORD A NEW ONE AND IF I COULD IT WOULDN'T BE A GM. HAVE ALWAYS OWNED GM IN THE PAST. *TR

SEVERELY RUSTED BRAKE LINES THROUGHOUT. LINE RUPTURED WHILE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE BUT FOR A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE TO LOOK LIKE IT DOES UNDERNEATH IS DESPICABLE. I'VE LIVED IN NEW ENGLAND ALL OF MY LIFE AND HAVE OWNED AND WORKED ON SEVERAL OLDER VEHICLES THAN MY CURRENT TRUCK AND HAVE NEVER SEEN CORROSION THIS BAD UNDERNEATH. REPLACING ALL LINES WITH STAINLESS STEEL IMMEDIATELY. HOW THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN SOONER IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE. *TR

TOOK TRUCK IN FOR CHECK UP SAID STEERING WORN AND LEAKING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT WAS REPLACED WITH CHEVY PARTS AT CHEVY DEALER IT IS NOW 8-22-12 NOW TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECK BEFORE VACATION AND THEIR SAYING THE STEERING BOX LEAKING MILEAGE NOW IS 37,778 I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE TROUBLE WITH THIS PART IT IS ALSO VERY EXPENSIVE. *TR

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON,AND I HAD IT CHECKED,WAS TOLD THE FRONT SENSOR WAS BAD. CALLED THE CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY ONLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED IF IN A CRASH. I'VE HAD WIRING PROBLEMS AND A RECALL ON THE BLOWER WIRING. I THINK CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE TO CHECK INTO THE PROBLEM,BECAUSE ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME AIRBAG PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. CHEVROLET SAID FOR A PRICE THEY WILL CHECK IT. THEY MAKE IT SOUND LIKE IT'S THE OWNER'S FAULT, AND THE MORE MONEY THEY CAN GET THE BETTER. SOUNDS LIKE THEIR MOTTO IS (MONEY BEFORE SAFETY) SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO HELP THE CONSUMERS. *TR
