| I am experiencing issues of serious rot and rust with components of my truck. first failure was that my power steering pump reservoir rotted through and caused a leak of fluid, had to replace unit. then transmission line rotted through, causing a leak of fluids, had to replace lines and cooler due to corrosion. then starter failed, seriously corroded. had to replace. afterward, alternator froze up, inside was corroded with rust and would not spin freely, had to replace. most recently, brake lines burst causing complete loss of braking ability. will need to replace. i have owned a substantial number of vehicles over the years and this is completely unusual in my experience and has caused a situation that could lead to death or serious injury. i was fortunate to escape both. furthermore, it has been a serious financial burden and inconvenience to have to replace so many components on a truck that has yet to reach 60,000 miles. i bought this truck new and have taken very good care of it in hopes that my 30,000 investment would last me a good number of years with regular and expected maintenance. | |||

| Gm pick up trucks have what in my opinion is a safety issue with instrument clusters failing. one can be cruising along and all of a sudden the speedometer goes crazy. mine registers 120 mph at all times. it puts one in unknown territory when in heavy traffic not to mention not knowing when one is speeding. further one does not how much fuel they have or if their vehicle is overheating. gm sent letters to owners of these vehicles indicating that they would replace the cluster if it went bad before 72000 miles.they know that any or all of the clusters are prone to failure and gm should be required to issue a recall and correct this problem at no cost to the owner.the local gm dealer tells me that it is about a $300. fix.gm should not be allowed to get away with selling vehicles with such potential safety issues. *tr | |||
