The frame and suspension has overly corroded. The frame is falling apart so bad that when I shut the driver's door chunks of metal fall to the ground. I've had it assessed and they say it should not be this bad. Even in Michigan

THE 1999 SILVERADO Z71 1500 TRUCK IS AN LT WITH ONLY 104,000 MILES. IT HAS BEEN GARAGED SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW. IT LOOKS AND RUNS GREAT! THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT 10 YEARS AGO AND I REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL LINES.

PASSLOCK SYSTEM ENGAGES WITHOUT CAUSE. WHEN STARTING MY TRUCK, IT ACTS LIKE IT WILL AND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER A SECOND, AND THEN THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS COMMON WITH PAST LOCK SYSTEM ERRORS. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 1 OUT OF 4 STARTS. TO GET THE CAR STARTED, I HAVE TO GO THROUGH A RESET PROCESS THAT TAKES OVER 30 MIN, WHICH CAUSES BATTERY DRAIN. THIS HAS LEFT MYSELF AND FAMILY MEMBERS STRANDED IN UNSAFE SITUATIONS SEVERAL TIMES. MOST RECENTLY I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AFTER STOPPING TO CHANGE A FLAT AT 11PM. AFTER NOT STARTING WITH THESE SAME SYMTOMS, WHILE TRYING TO DO THE 30MIN. RELEARN PROCESS, THE BATTERY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO START THE TRUCK. SO I WAS THEN STUCK THERE FOR 3 MORE HOURS WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK FOR A JUMP. I WAS STRANDED FOR OVER 3 1/2 HOURS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS, AND HAVE SPENT ABOUT 4K DOLLARS TO TRY AND FIX IT.
