Takata recall? I would like to know what recalls were made on this vehicle that I might have missed? And what to do about them. My dealer went out of business and I was never notified about any of the recalls I am just now finding out about. Thank you.

We have had several rust problems with this vehicle from brakes lines rusting through, gas tank straps rusting through. Now we have fuel line leak and our torsion bar has cracked due to rusting through and they will not repair unless the frame is replaced which is not cost effective due to the amount of rust throughout the vehicle. Unless frame is replaced it is unsafe to drive.

I have had right rear brake line rust out. I had front brake lines rust out. I had the brake line to the ABS from booster rust out. Had the fuel lines rust out(leaking raw gas) had oil lines for automatic transmission rust out. Each time I was lucky that it happened in the city at low speeds and not while pulling a trailer.I also had trouble with the ABS kicking in falsely at slow speeds(also rust build up at wheel sensor mounting place.

After filling up my truck and got speed up to about 65mph my gas gauge went to empty and then would come back up after hitting a bump in the road or rocking the truck back and forth , also the light on the gear shift lever kept going out and couldn't tell what gear I was in, could peck on console and light might come back on but stays off most of the time now. Now the fuel gauge still acts up and it does not give and accurate reading.have to set my trip timer each time I fillup so I will know how much gas I have unless someone steals a lot of it then I usually run out of gas along side the road.

I was going to stop at a traffic light and the brake pedal went to the floor. I was lucky that there was no one in front of me and that I still had the front brakes. I limped it home and when I got back brake fluid was dripping out of the lines that run on the frame just under the gas tank. Everything under the truck is rusted. The rocker panels are also rusted out. The truck bed is rusted on all sides as well. I have also had to replace the straps holding the gas tank on. They were completely rusted. I had one strap that had fallen off when I took it in for repair.

Brake line blew out due to corrosion when pulling to a stop light, was able to stop the truck w/o incident. This was 8aug09. Repaired on 12aug09. On 5aug11 went to replace shocks thinking they were shot, problem discovered, entire shock mount rail assembly had rusted away from the frame and is hanging in the air. Mileage: 148876. On 30sep11 gas tank dropped to the ground due to corrosion of frame, and also exhaust system components have rotted away from the frame and now hanging, there are also some cracks in the frame, mileage 149476. There is no rust or damage to the body on this truck at all. It still looks like a new truck. The frame is rotting away from under the truck. I should have bought a ford. Will never buy another chevy. From what I see, this is a known problem that gm knows all about and refuses to do anything about all these trucks. Gm should recall and replace everyone's frames on trucks like mine that have perfect bodies before someone gets killed.
