    We took our 2005 chevy z71 silverado in for the inspection and it wouldn't pass due to rotted frame. So now we have a useless truck that looks and drives fine but won't pass inspection. Now we're hearing about several same model truck are having the same issue. We have always taken the best care of all our vehicles and have been loyal gm customers.

    When i purchased my truck the dealership promised to have it fixed,i then went to the nc dmv who handles vehicle. I had been receiving the runaround from everyone.

    I started seeing rust spots around the bottom the cab and had to put it in the shop because rust had eaten through, the repairman said it look as if the area had never been treated for corrosion, this vehicle should not be doing this and he said he could not guarantee that it want continue. I feel gm should pay for the repair and make sure it dose not happen again. *tr

    Rust corrosion has worn through to affect electrical lines - rear lights no longer work. Have already replaced the dashboard console electrical. Gas fuel light stays on which is related to the circuitry electrical system and affects "smog" system.
