WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OWNING MY TRUCK I NOTICED THE FRAME WAS BENDING AND CAVING INTO MY CAB I NOTIFIED DEALER AND HAD BEEN INFORMED MY FRAME WAS BROKE, SO DEALER TOOK FULL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE REPAIR BILL. ABOUT 8 MONTHS AFTER THAT IS WHEN I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THIS TIME THE PROBLEM WAS GETTING WORSE REAL FAST AND BEFORE I REALIZED IT WAS EFFECTING THE PROTECTIVE OUTER LINER OF THE GAS TANK, SO NOW NOT ONLY IM I CONCERED ABOUT MY FAMILYS SAFETY BUT OTHERS AS WELL. THIS TIME I MADE DEALER AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HE TOOK THE TRUCK TO ONE OF HIS OWN SHOPS AND THEY TOLD HIM THE FRAME WAS NOT REPAIRABLE IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALL TOGETHER.

1) THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY. OCCASIONALLY THEY WILL NOT WORK AT ALL. DEALER WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT RESURFACE IF FIXED. 2) WITHIN THE FIRST 6000 MILES MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED A DROP IN POWER, PERFORMANCE AND ECONOMY. IN ADDITION IT COULD NOT OPPERATE ON 87 OCTANE FUEL WITHOUT SEVERE PINGING AND CONSUMED 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 3000 MILES. THE DEALER SERVICED THE TRUCK AND SAID IT WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WERE MADE AT ALMOST EVERY DEALER SERVICE. WHEN THE TRUCK WOULD NO LONGER OPERATE ON 93+ OCTANE FUEL WITHOUT PINGING, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED ALL OF THE ONGOING PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS TO BE CAUSED BY THE "VALVE SEALS LEAKING OIL AND FOULING THE PLUGS". I CONTACTED GM AT CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE (800 222 1020) AND WAS TOLD THAT A SUPERVISOR WOULD CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, NO ONE CONTACTED ME AND LATELY THE TRUCK USES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES. IN ADDITION, THE PAINT NEAR THE EXAUST TURNS DARK BETWEEN WASHES. *AK
