Description of the problem	my 2008 avalanche with 72,000 miles on it, is completely rotting away underneath. I've had to replace many parts, shocks, autoride compressor, fuel pump module, had body rust repaired, have had 3 door handles fall right off.. Last 2 mechanics told me that all parts located underneath truck are rotting away and that i need to get rid of truck because it is not worth repairing. I have tried to work with gm but they claim that its normal wear and tear. Paid 30k for truck dec 2011. Have membership to car wash, and keep it very clean. Undercarriage included. Cant get my service suspension light to shut off, even the dealer cant. This truck should not be rotting away the way it is.. Please help.
