Description of the problem | Vehicle rocker panels rusted all the way through ,not much structural integrity left both drivers and passenger sides. Vehicle has been well maintained , washed and rinsed of any road salt etc. Dailey!! During life of vehicle. Other areas, wheel wells ,stock towing hitch reciever(towing package) ,cab corners ,completely rusted through!!! Frame also begining to show deep pitting in areas that you can push a screw driver right through rusted area. Metal used for structural and body components of this vehicle totally junk!! Also 2 years ago i kept smelling gasoline when exiting vehicle after driving, long story short, had to remove truck bed and on top of fuel tank coming out are metal tubes , which are part of fuel pump inside tank, to which the fuel lines are connected to, well one of the metal tubes was totally rusted off, which was the fuel return line? Which was why i was smelling gas, which was leaking out very close if not on the exhaust system when driving. I 'm no expert ,but i think this might qualify as a safety issue. Thank you |
