Description of the problem	I have severe frame rust to the point where the frame has a crack halfway around it near the rear suspension. The factory mounted tow hitch literally broke completely off of the frame due to the amount of rust that was built up around the welds while i was towing my camper, luckily i had just made it home from a trip from camping when this occurred. I can literally peel off 1/8" thick pieces of rust at a time, the truck is no longer operable due to the safety aspect, i have never seen rust like this on any vehicle, even ones that have been around the ocean and salt, after reading many complaints about the same issues with these particular model and year trucks ranging from 1999-current i have decided to file a complaint, maybe if your administration gets enough of these complaints something can be done to correct the issue and hopefully gm will do something to compensate so many of their disappointed customers or better yet fix the issue, this will be the last gm truck i purchase due to their negligence and after reading 100's of complaints of the same issue gm doesn't seem to care they just give the run around just like when i have had problems with my vehicles in the past under warranty.
