Description of the problem | I found a white metallic gunk on driveway. I went to investigate for leakage, after dealer had one week ahead appointment available. I found rust on the welds of the muffler, rust on the hanger rods for the muffler, rust on nuts and bolts throughout the under carriage, rust on metal parts of the drive shaft, rust on the back tire trims, rust on the engine block, rust on the suspension, rust on the shocks, and the list goes on, on the many more parts of the under carriage. Not just rust but corrosive rusting, that just didn't start over the last three weeks. Dealer had to fail to put car up on rack upon receiving from chevrolet, and failed before handing it. This type of rusting happens only after maybe three years or more at least according to people i've shown the photos to, who know cars. Dealership has a gm expert coming in to expect the car. Feel very unsafe driving this car. |
