EXTREME RUST, TAILGATE CABLES BROKE IN USE, HAD TO REPLACE. TAILGATE STILL WON'T LATCH PROPERLY, DROPPING OPEN WHILE DRIVING/HAULING FAIRLY OFTEN; BRAKE LINE RUSTED OUT, REPLACED BEFORE HAD ACCIDENT; WHOLE FRAME RUSTED - UNDER CARRIAGE//TIRE WELLS/DRIVE SHAFT/AROUND REECE HITCH SO I WORRY ABOUT PULLING TRAILER/HAILING. HORN HAS RUSTED OFF. ONLY 77,000 MILES AS I DO NOT DRIVE IT DAILY, JUST TO WORK AROUND MY PLACE OR PICKUP/HAUL/TRAILER SOMETHING. GM NEEDS RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS RUST ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
