The frame on my 1999 chevy silverado 4x4 1500 reg. Cab has rusted out and has a whole/crack in it by the crossmember, and is unsafe. I replaced all the brake lines sept. 09 because of rust. This vehicle has 9 winters on it and 130k, the rest of the truck is in very good condition. I find it hard to believe gm is not aware of this. They have refused any help. *tr

Last year we found out we had to replace the entire back half of the frame of our 1999 chevy silverado.

It cost us $2500 to have the frame replaced. I feel gm should be recalling these frames and doing the right thing for their…

I have a 1999 chevy silverado extended cab 4wd pickup. It is no longer safe to drive because the left side of the frame near the gas tank has rusted through. The rest of the frame is fine. My mechanic says he has seen this a lot lately.

1999 chevrolet truck, frame is rusting at an alarming rate. All of the brake lines have been replaced after two different failures. At age 70 and having worked on cars for years as a hobbie, i have never see a vehicle rust so bad. The brake lines were gone. I could have wrecked because of the failure. *tr

On my 1999 chevy ext. Cab silverado the rust started about 5 years ago and now it looks like a 70's model. The frame of the pickup is so bad you can not even lift it by the frame anymore. I'm afraid that the frame is going to brake while i am driving down the road with my kids in the truck and get in a bad accident. I contacted chevy and they will do nothing for me. This truck should not have been rusting this bad 5…
