Was doing some maintenance and noticed a split in the metal of my stabilizer shaft front passenger side. Still looks durable, but thought I have you take a look at my pics. Is this a safety risk?

2 adults in back seat. Left rear suspension strut tore through the metal of the trunk and came up into the trunk, compromising vehicle handling and potential loss of control and rear brakes, making the vehicle unsafe to operate.

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.
