My 2009 Silverado has a very rusted frame. I have replaced bedsides and rocker panels due to excessive rust. Now the frame has holes in it. I'm not sure when it becomes a critical safety incident, but it is bad. It is ridiculous that I have owned this truck since 2012 when it had 42,000 miles on it. This frame is terrible for a well-taken care of truck.

The dash is cracked. There was a lawsuit against GM about this issue, and im filling a complaint also. This can cause a safety issue by the broken dash could possibly puncture the airbag.

Incredible amount of frame rust. Vehicle only has 22500 miles but has extensive frame rust and front sway bar frame separation. Also heavily rusted brake lines. I have already replaced transmission shifter pawl and transmission cooling lines. I see widely posted occurrence on youtube & social media. I do not understand why GM is getting a pass on these horrible product issues. No listed recalls on site.
