Consumer Description

TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE, WHEN RAISED ON THE HOIST THE FRAME STARTED TO COLLAPSE AND BRAKE. SERVICE PEOPLE POINTED OUT THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME AND TO CONSIDER GETTING A NEW TRUCK AND ADVISED I PROBABLY SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS ONE ANYWHERE AS IT COULD BRAKE APART. THEY STATED THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THIS IN A TRUCK MAINTAINED AS THIS ONE HAS BEEN. IN LOOKING ON-LINE I NOW SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN 1999 TO 2002 SILVERADO'S, WITH 100'S OF COMPLAINTS. GM WON'T TALK ABOUT IT AND STATES ANY RECALL HAS TO COME FROM YOUR AGENCY. THIS IS SERIOUS, NOT SURE IF ANY INJURIES ARE ATTRIBUTED TO THIS (YET) BUT THERE SURELY WILL BE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS NOT BE LOOKED AT WITH THE NUMBER OF ON-LINE COMPLAINTS AND REPORTS. *TR
