2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX Structurebody Problems

Purchased car from dealer on 7/1, car seemed fine at dealer and then died. Took car to oil change place, discovered underneath frame completely rotted out. Called dealer, dealer unwilling to fix, replace or refund vehicle. Had car further inspected to find complete engine, transmission, frame, axle, steering, brake issues. There were no signs of anything wrong at the dealership.

PURCHASED VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY JUNE 29, 2019 FROM CHEVY DEALER IN ROSEVILLE CA. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED VEHICLE I NOTICED THE LIFTGATE COMING DOWN BY ITSELF. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING VEHICLE IN. IN THE MEANTIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND STAYING ON, SO WHEN I MADE THE APPOINTMENT I ALSO MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE AGENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN , AS A DROP IN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I STAY OVER AN HOUR AWAY FROM WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I;D HAPPENED TO BE IN THE AREA ON THIS DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED IN AND THE SERVICE AGENT HELPING ME ASKED COULD I LEAVE THE VEHICLE I AT THIS TIME REPLIED NO, BECAUSE OF HOW FAR WE'D TRAVELED TO GET THERE I DID NOT HAVE A WAY HOME. I'D STATED TO HIM AT THIS TIME WHEN I'D BROUGHT...

THE ROCKER PANELS, DOORS AND TAILGATE ARE HEAVILY CORRODING AND THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF IN LARGE STRIPS.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE ROAD WITH HEAVY WOODS ON EACH SIDE AND A DEER RAN OUT OF THE WOODS IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT THE DEER WITH THE FRONT OF MY EQUINOX. I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED THE FUMES FROM THE AIR BAG BUT DID NOT SEE WHERE THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. ONSTAR CAME ON AND ASKED IF I WAS OK, THAT THEY WERE ADVISED MY AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED. THE IN DASH SENSOR IN MY CAR ALSO ALERTED THAT THE AIR BAG HAD BEEN DEPLOYED. MY STEERING WHEEL APPEARED NORMAL, BUT A SMALL GAP AROUND THE AIR BAG COVER.
