Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Purchased 1995 chevrolet full size truck from valley auto center in 1998 since date of purchase the frame has broke 2 times in the same place. the first repair was done 1 year after purchase, apprearantely instead of repairing they did more damage by welding on a preheated that was not supposed to be welded on in the first place. do to the welding and poor judgement here i am 6 months later with the same problem. the frame is now completely broke and caving in and rubbing against the cab, associated with this other problems have accumalated such as gas tank damage, cross member,drive shaft, suspension front and rear, and vehicle shakes uncontrollabily when applying the brake pedal. ive taken this vehicle down to several repair shops along with the original one who repaired it in the begining and apprearantly this problem is not repairable the whole frame must be replaced and because of liabilty purposes they do not want to touch the vehicle. i continue to receive the run around from the dealer, and i fell this is not a safe or legal vehicle to have on the road not only for myself and my two small children safety but for others aswell.
