Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The fuel line that is on top of the gas tank rotted through. The brake and transmission lines rotted and leaked. The chassis is rotting in different places I have less than 77,000 miles on it since I bought new. I have a 1969 malibu that I've had since it was new and I keep it outside in all kinds of weather and not one part of the chassis is rotted. I don't know what kind of steel they use now to build these cars and trucks, but it should be unacceptable. I don't know the exact dates these things happened, but I do have all the repair bills for them. …”
NHTSA complaint #11082438, filed 2018-04, 55,000 miles“This vehicle has less than 84,000 miles on it, and the chassis or frame is rotted. The rear anti sway bar already rotted off it, and the front bar is hanging down on the passenger side. I have photos of this, but don't know how to download them. The body has a little rot here, and there, but that is repairable. I spent a lot of money in purchasing this vehicle, and I expected it to last a very long time. The interior is almost like new. I am thinking about putting a tort claim about this to GM. Please help me all you can. …”
