I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY WILL NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FRAME WELD FAILING. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, BUT OFFER NO REMEDY OTHER THAN REPLACING THE FRAME AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A COST TO DO THIS TYPE OF REPLACEMENT. I FEEL THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE EFFECTING OTHER OWNERS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHEVROLET TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I REALIZE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF MILES, BUT IT IS A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WHICH A REASONABLE PERSON SHOULD EXPECT THE FRAME TO LAST BEYOND THAT TIME.*AK
