Back door post broken at its base, thru inside C channel (outside skin still intact). Exact failure time not known, just noticed crack when entering car. Apparent failure from metal fatigue; no known impact or cause of failure. GMC has denied warranty claim saying that it is sheet metal failure, which is not covered. I'm contending that is a fialure to a structural member and therefore covered. Is there any record of similar failures on any GMC product that may utilize the same door?
