How many miles on it? Did it rust out? Does it look like it was torn apart? If so check to make sure motor mount are good.

it is not rusted out,It has around 60,000 miles on it.It is hard to tell if it is ripped out.looks like a clean break all the way around.

Yes this is unfortunetly a fairly common problem. If you don't have more than 120000 miles on it there is an extended warranty and TSB that was issued . Take it to a chevy dealer and tell them what the issue is . Even Isuzu sent a notice for my Ascender on this issue. Supposed to be covered in full if within the TSB period .
