Description of the problem | At less than 2,000 miles, the frame and rear axle is rusting through the "protective" wax coating. Where my dealer placed jack points when jacking up the vehicle during pre-sale inspection, there are distinct rust marks in the shape of the jack point. The axle has rust spots increasing in size every week. The frame has rust spots increasing in size and apparent severity every week. The wax coating is often found in flakes under my truck in my garage in the morning. I had a 2011 silverado that, at 22k, had zero frame rust and it was exposed numerous times to chicago and minneapolis winters, including the heavy road salt. This new truck has never left georgia since its purchase. I am concerned about the structural integrity of this vehicle over time if the frame will rust as much as it has in less than 2,000 miles. What will it look like at 50k mi.? |
