Frame started rusting almost immediately dealer did not want to address

- Newtown, CT, USA

The frame is rusted very bad. I took it to a shop to see if it could be repaired and was told that it can't be repaired it will have to be replaced. This is a 10 year old truck the frame should not be rusted. I have additional photos. It is rusted down both sides of the frame

I purchased a 2011 chevy silverado on 3/16/20 from a car dealership. 69k miles when purchased.88k now.I recently went to have a fuel pump repaired that happened out of the blue and was told that the frame is completely rusted out. I looked online only to discover that this is a ongoing problem for these trucks. Makes no sense how I have a truck I owe 14k on and now find out my frame is rusted to the point I could have a accident.

My front driver side top control arm broke when I hit a pole on the rear of my truck. It snapped off at the ball. I was in a parking lot and side swiped a pole at about 5 mph. Should not have snapped a part in the front of the truck! there is a massive amount of corrosion under my truck. Even behind the rear tail light which shouldn't have been exposed, there's rust. This truck has more rust that trucks that are 30 years old.

#1. vehicle accelerates when letting off gas, even while going uphill the vehicle will accelerate. You can go up a steep hill without touching the gas. Brought the vehicle to the dealership they replaced, the throttle body, gas pedal assembly. They reinstalled the original parts and told us that this was normal. We drove other 2011 Chevy Silverado's which did not do the same thing. The dealership told us that all the 2011 Chevy Silverado's accelerate on their own. #2. there is a clunking noise from the rear when driving over bumps. The dealership said this is normal backlash, and did not do anything.

Rear axle has a gvwr of 3950 lbs the vehicle a 2plus 1 rear spring pack, 3 different spring suppliers rate this spring pack at 1425L or 1500 lbs each for a combined rate of either 2850 or 3000 lbs per pair. Which makes the factory rating of 3950lbs either 1100 or 950 lbs higher depending on the spring supplier. Using the industry guideline the weakest component controls the gvwr is being violated by Chevrolet I have a truck marketing institute certificate in this area and a cd from Michelin verifying the weakest component controls gvwr.I asked Chevrolet for replacement springs from another model that has a combined rating of 4050lbs 100 lbs above there 3950 lb axle rating. This issue has caused trailering problems but Chevrolet refused this is a safety issue the springs I requested would correct the problem can you help? I can supply further information if needed thank you
