| The paint on the rear wheel wells as well as the pain on the running boards all the way back to the rear quarter pannels is rusting out. i found your website and thought that i migh be covered, but apparently i am not and gm said they have changed their plant to oshawa, canada. they also said that they have changed their paint. when i asked what i should do they said that it is pretty much tough luck. and that is about it. also the coolent return hose in the engine goes every 2 yrs. and at canadian tire it costs. about 375$ to replace. | |||
