A Friend had his Avalanche in for some brake work yesterday. The Shop told him the frame was badly rusted and he might get another year out of it.
Ridiculous for sure, but he isn't alone. This seems to be a common complaint per the following two sites:

http://chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php?topic=127709.0
Was also a problem with previous model years, reportedly.
Any of you Members here familiar with this problem or have any info to share as to what GM has done under Customer satisfaction programs or whatever. My Friend just bought a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan so is a bit strapped as to throwing $ at a rusted out Avalanche. Any info or help will be appreciated.
These trucks also had a problem with water getting into the transmission. Sounds like a good vehicle to avoid.
