Consumer Description

THE FRAME CRACKED BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE BED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE TOP OF BED IS NOW HITTING AGAINST THE CAB AT THE TOP. I CALLED GM TWICE, AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT IN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. I TOLD THEM I DON'T FEEL IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SAID TO TOW IT IN AT MY COST. I'M NOT PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUS. THE TRUCK NEEDS A NEW FRAME AND THEY KNOW IT. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, JUST READ ALL THE BLOGS ON THE INTERNET.
