HELLO IM REPORTING A PROBLEM I HAVE NOTICED ABOUT RUST ON THE UNDER BODIES OF THE CHEVY AND GMC PICK UPS. IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. THERE ARE TOO MANY VEHICLES REPORTING THIS PROBLEM TO MAKE IT A COINCIDENCE. I MYSELF HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHERE MY FRAME HAS NOW CRACKED FOR THE SECOND TIME. PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING MORE AND MORE AND OUR SAFETY IS AT STAKE. PLEASE WHATEVER CAN BE DONE TO BRING GM TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM CAN AND WILL SAVE A LOT OF LIVES AS WELL AS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THANK YOU *TR

I WAS MOVING THE 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 IN MY DRIVEWAY TO MAKE ROOM TO MOVE ANOTHER CAR. I BACKED THE TRUCK INTO MY TURN AROUND, THEN PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE TO MOVE IT FORWARD A LITTLE. WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE PEDAL WENT HALFWAY TO THE FLOOR STOPPED THEM WENT CLEAR TO THE FLOOR. I HAD NO BRAKES, OTHER THAN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON THE TRUCK, WHICH I USED TO STOP THE TRUCK. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK STOPPED AND TO A SPOT I COULD INSPECT IT. I DISCOVERED THAT TWO BRAKE LINES HAD BURST AND WERE LEAKING FLUID ONTO THE GROUND. THE BREAKS WERE NOT IN A BEND IN THE LINE WHERE THEY SEEMS TO TYPICALLY HAPPEN. THEY WERE IN A STRAIGHT SECTION JUST UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WHERE THE LINES RUN ALONG THE FRAME. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE AS HEAVILY CORRODED AS THE SECTION THAT HAD BURST. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED IN THE DRIVEWAY AS I WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE IN THE TRUCK. *TR
