2000 Chevrolet S10 complaints

THE BEDLINER WAS INSTALLED AT THE CAR DEALER SHIP AT TIME OF PURCHASE. AT THAT TIME WE WERE TOLD THAT YOU CAN FILL GAS CONTAINERS IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH STATIC ELECTRICITY IGNITING THE GAS. THERE IS ALSO A STICKER ON THE BEDLINER WARNINING OF THIS PROBLEM. THERE ALSO SEEM TO BE ANOTHER PROBLEM PROBLEM. AFTER STOPPING TO GAT GAS AT A STATION ON I-95 OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON AND WITH NO FLAMIBLE MATERIALS IN THE TRUCK THE BED LINER IGNITED IN FLAMES ABOUT 1 MILE DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I BELIVE THAT BECAUSE IT IS AN OVER THE RIM BED LINER AND THE FILL SPOT FOR GAS IS JUST 8" AWAY FROM THE EDGE OF THE LINER GAS FUMES DURING THE FILLING PROCESS GET TRAPED UNDER THE LINER AND CAN BE IGNIGHTED BY STATIC. BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF LINER THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN THE TRUCK BOBY OF ABOUT A 1/4" ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TRUCK. BECAUCE THAT GAP IS ONLY 8" AWAY FROM WHERE THE FUEL IS PUT INTO THE GAS TANK FUMES ARE GETTING ONDER THE LINER. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. IF FUMES CAN BE IGNITED THAT ARE IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK THEN CERTIANLY FUMES THAT GET TRAPPED UNDER THE LINER CAN IGNITE.*AK

WITHIN DAYS OF MY PURCHASE OF THE 2000 S-10 PICKUP THE PROBLEM APPEARED. THE TRUCK BOUNCES LIKE IT'S GOING OVER A BUMP EVERYTIME THE VECHICLE STARTS OUT FROM A STOP, IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN THIS BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT BECAUSE THIS TRUCK HAS A TWO PIECE DRIVESHAFT AND THAT THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED BE. I AM 52 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING CHEVROLET SINCE I WAS 16, I'VE HAD TRUCKS WITH TWO PIECE DRIVESHAFTS BEFORE AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND AFTER FIVE MONTHS THEY SENT A REGIONAL REP OUT HE SAID THIS IS HOW THIS VECHICLE WAS DESIGNED TO PERFORM, I DROVE ANOTHER SIMILIAR TRUCK ON THE LOT AND IT DID THE SAME THING. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE OBSERVED THE DRIVE SHAFT BY LYING ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THE TRUCK AS IT STARTS OUT, YOU CAN SEE THE DRIVE SHAFT MOVING IN THE CARRIER BEARING VIOLENTLY. THIS IS OF GREAT CONCERN BECAUSE IF THE DRIVE SHAFT SHOULD BREAK TOWARDS THE FRONT IT COULD CAUSE THE BACK OF THE TRUCK TO POLE VAULT AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK BECAUSE I FEEL IT'S A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ON ANY TRUCKS LET ALONE ADMIT THERE IS ONE. I'M HOPING YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND WORK GM TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED, IF IT HASN'T HAPPEND ALREADY. I FEEL THAT ANY DES
