| When purchasing the vehicle i asked a salesman why there was rust showing on the underneath of the new vehicle i was purchasing. he commented that all the new vehicles had that. i walked the line and found that all the in cheaper vehicles had rust but the more expensive vehicles din't. that made me wonder if chevrolet was manufacturing substandard vehicles. my experience since has reinforced thast impression. both new vehicle i bought had extensive paint problems. the major frame componenets began to rust vigorously. i appplied rust inhibitors to no avail. now the caliper and bbrake componenets on the left side have been replaced/ the brakeline burst while in a gas station due to rust . when i got tothe parts house i was given story after story about s-10s blowing their brake lines while in traffic. now i have the problem of gas spraying onto the gas tank and frame from the same problem, the fuel line is rusted thru. the entire dr4ivers side of the truck is rusting down and 50% of the s-10 in this age class are in similar shape. this needs to be addressed brfore we have more deaths on the highway. putting a splash guard on the rear wheel 's fender would eliminate most of the splashed aarea, which i've been told is being done on newer vehicles. you help on this matter would be appreciated. *ak | |||
