Silverado 1500

  • 2,000 miles
I purchased a 2013 Silverado, while taking possession of the truck I noticed the undercoating had fallen off of the frame rail above the right rear tire and had begun to rust. I immediately complained, but was told they would contact GM. I immediately filed a complaint with GM. The repair was to spray after market under coating from a spray can on the already rusty parts. I complained again and was told that was all they were going to do to remedy the problem. This vehicle if left on the road for the next 10 yrs will end in someone's death as the frame will be completely rusted through.
