Complaint Summary
STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
Owner Narrative
2005 SIERRA 1500 4X4 I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW 01/ 2005, THE REAR SPRING SHACKLES FAILED ON 02/20/2014 DUE TO RUST, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE REAR 3FT OF FRAME IS BADLY RUSTED MAKING IT NOT ROADWORTHY. GMS POSITION IS THAT THIS IS SOMEHOW NEGLECT ON MY PART AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. THE BODY OF THE TRUCK IS NOT RUSTED AND STILL LOOKS GOOD. I FIND IT UNREASONABLE THAT A 9YR OLD TRUCK WITH NO BODY RUST SHOULD HAVE THE FRAME SO RUSTED AS TO MAKE IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
