Anonymous, (2007 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 5.3-L V8)"The rust problem was started before 50000 miles. I got nothing but the run around from the dealership. I finally gave up. Because of that my next vehicle was a Ford. Shopping for a new Ford truck to replace the 2007. Won't even consider a GMC or Chevrolet. This GMC has been maintained and washed with care. Pieces of the wheel well fell off this week."
