The rear gas tank strap has rusted through and broke free while driving down the highway causing risk of dragging which may result in fire/explosion. This caused the gas tank to hang down almost making contact with the highway. The broken strap is also banging against the lowered tank causing risk of puncture.

While slowing down and letting off the gas while making a turn the truck started speeding back up, braking did stop the truck and no revving occurred. After breaking to a complete stop and letting of the gas the truck would start moving forward as if the gas is being applied-speeding up gradually. Put the truck in reverse and same thing happened. Turned truck off and back on the problem did not persist.

The rear brake line burst while driving in a parking lot resulting in a loss of braking. The mechanic showed me where it broke and it appeared to be due to corrosion of the line. It also looked like the fuel line was showing similar corrosion.

The brake lines ,fuel lines and the frame crossmembers are all severely rusted. It just is a matter of time before I loose my brakes, go up in flames or drop my gas tank onto the highway. The body on this truck is not too bad. It has 92,000 miles on it, and it is cleaned quite often. The undercarriage is rusted very badly. I expected more from something that costs so much. Cant afford a new one and if I could it wouldn't be a gm. Have always owned gm in the past.

I had to replace the cannistor evaporation solenoid because of repeated check engine sensor. This cost me $330. The mechanic told me this is a retrofit part that chevy has come up with which tells me that chevy is fully aware of this very common problem with this truck. I know of 4 other people who have the same truck and the same problem. I want chevy to reimburse me for this repair.
