MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT BRAKE PART FAILURES DUE TO RUST,AND POOR QUALITY I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE LINES, BRAKE HOSES, ROTORS, & CALIPERS ON THIS UNIT. THIS IS A MEDIUM DUTY ROAD SERVICE TRUCK, OR TILT FLATBED. WHEN IT COMES TO POWER TRAIN ISSUES, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE COOLANT LINES AS WELL ON THIS UNIT DUE TO RUST. RUST IS AN ISSUE ALSO ON THE FRAME AND COMPONENTS ATTACHED TO IT. I FEEL GM IS USING INFERIOR STEEL, ON MANY OF ITS COMPONENTS, AFFECTING HIGH COST FOR REPAIRS, AND BIG SAFETY ISSUES AS WELL. *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
