Consumer Description

FRAME IS RUSTY TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. JUST ABOUT EVERY SILVERADO FROM 1999 TO 2013 I SEE ON THE ROAD HAS A VERY RUSTY FRAME. MEANWHILE A FRIEND'S COUSIN HAS A 1969 CHEVROLET C-10 PICKUP THAT HAS SEEN MANY WINTERS AND BEEN SITTING IN A FIELD, AND THAT FRAME LOOKS 100 TIMES BETTER THAN MY 2004. THIS IS A CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. ALSO MY BRAKE LINES RUSTED AND BURST ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT (ANOTHER VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN LEFT IGNORED). TO WHOMEVER IS READING THIS, THINK ABOUT ANY FAMILY MEMBERS WITH A SILVERADO AND WHAT DANGER THEY CAN FACE FROM A COMPANY THAT GOT AWAY WITH DARK METHODS AND IS FACING ZERO PUNISHMENT.
