BODY FRAME HAS ROT HOLES THROUGHOUT UNDERCARRIAGE. NEW FRAME NEEDED. WHILE DRIVING, I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND HEARD A LOUD BOOM FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. UPON INVESTIGATING, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVESHAFT BROKE OFF N WAS LYING ON THE AXEL. AAA WAS CALLED AND IMMEDIATELY TOWED THE TRUCH 1 MILE TO OUR MECHANIC. AFTER A THOROUGH INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A NEW DRIVESHAFT WAS NEEDED AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE MECHANIC SPOTTED NUMEROUS PITTING RUSTED HOLES THROUGHOUT THE FRAME. DETERMINED THAT SAID TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC CANYON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR NEW TIRES, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE LEFT REAR FRAME RAIL JUST IN FRONT OF THE LEFT REAR FRONT SPRING SHACKLE HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE HOLES THROUGH THE LOWER PORTION OF THE FRAME RAIL. THE SIDES OF THE SAME AREA HAVE BECOME VERY THIN COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL THICKNESS OF THE FRAME RAIL. BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THE RUST THROUGH AT THE SPRING SHACKLE IT WAS RECOMMENDED A FRAME REPAIR SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETED. THE TRUCK WAS DISPOSED OF AND TAKEN OFF ROAD. THE REMAINDER OF THE VEHICLE IS IN GOOD CONDITION. MILEAGE 75,124 MILES. THE FRAME RAIL IS FORMED INTO A BOX FRAME WITH THE SEAM LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAIL. THE RUST APPEARS TO BE WORST ON THE SEAM. THE SEAM IS A LAP SEAM AND APPEARS TO TRAP WATER IN THE LAP SEAM. THE RIGHT SIDE FRAME RAIL IS THIN HOWEVER IS NOT RUSTED THROUGH AT THIS TIME.

Electrical System

MY 2005 GMC CANYON CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE PASSLOCK II SYSTEM. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH, KEYS, OR ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE PASSLOCK PREVENTS ME FROM STARTING MY TRUCK BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON THE COMPUTER THINKS IT IS TRYING TO BE STOLEN. THE LAST TIME THIS ISSUE OCCURED, MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. WHEN ATTEMPTED TO START, THE TRUCK CRANKED BUT DID NOT START AND THE PASSLOCK LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO SIT AND WAIT FOR 10 MINUTES UNTIL THE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE PROBLEM WAS I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE MYSELF TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE I HAD JUST BEEN BITTEN BY A DOG.
