Vehicle is in the shop at 191,000mi for Rear Shocks, Front Struts, an alignment and oil change as of Wednesday (07/19/2023), at approximately 16:14 EDT, the shop contacted me and notified me that the mechanic, when he was installing the new driver-side shocks, went to secure the shock, only for the entire sub-frame assembly that holds the exhaust manifold, fuel tank and shock in place, "shattered" in front of him. I have been informed that I was "One good pothole away" from having a catastrophic failure which could have caused a wreck, and potentially loss of life.

The frame of my vehicle is rusted out almost completely.I am concerned about my safety and the safety of others if I drive it on the highway ,I have taken great care with my truck I only have around 70,000 miles on it and a frame should last a lot longer than this one has, and I have read other peoples complaints about this vehicle also,I would appreciate any help you can offer me.I have no files to upload or any accidents to report I’m just extremely concerned about driving this vehicle with the frame in the condition it’s in.Thank You

My truck keeps going into limp mode, it will not accelerate when I press on the gas pedal.This happens sometimes after stopping or slowing down

Extensive rust on the frame, barely holding together. This caused the drive shaft to shake and break the differential. Even if the differential would not have broken the truck was not road worthy. It could have broke in half at any second. No reputable body shop would even attempt to fix it. No warnings or symptoms until a snow plow was hooked up again last winter and the weight of it bent the fragile frame. Countless accounts of frame and undercarriage rust for Chevy and GMC trucks from 2006-2013.

The frame has been rusting out bad for many years. My gas tank is about to fall off it is hanging down do to cross member rusting out, and shocks too. Also body is rusting bad do to not putting the right rust inhibitors in the paint and frame.

There is rust on my crossmembers, they said it happens from the stuff they put on the roads? I don't know but I do not have money to buy a new vehicle. They say it's on both sides in the rear that are rotten but they were fine not too long ago.
