Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 2006 COLORADO IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SHOP CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THAT MY FRAME WAS CRACKED. COME TO FIND OUT IT WASN'T CRACKED BUT IT HAD A GIANT HOLE ALONG THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE DRIVER SIDE FRAME RAIL. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A GUY THAT IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HE SAID IT LOOKED JUST LIKE A TOYOTA FRAME. SO NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TOTAL THIS TRUCK BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IT ONLY HAS 102000 MILES ON IT. GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE FRAMES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.
