general problems of the 1999 Chevrolet 1500

I have had nothing but trouble with rotted rotors, pads that don't wear right, brake lines that rotted and rusted away that they needed to be all replaced in July of 2006. A six year old motor vehicle should not have to have all the lines replaced. The bill was $1,200. Next a abs front wheel sensor recall was done at best chevy, hingham, mass. The abs lights came on and off at their own pace. I had new front bearings installed, had my mechanic check for codes. Nothing. The brakes just never felt right sometimes. I worked as a auto mechanic for nearly 25 years, never seen anything like this brake problem. By the way I took good care of my vehicle, gm must of used sub standard brake tubing, never seen anything so decayed after 6 years. On April 29, 2011 I was driving home and had stopped at a traffic light about 1/4 mile from my home. The light turned green, I accelerated up to about 30 mph and within a few hundred feet the abs light came on. Here we go again. As I neared the entrance to my street some 300 feet away , I took my foot of the gas and the truck began to slow. At about 200 feet I began to depress the brake pedal, it seemed ok but as I got nearer to the street I found myself needing to push down more and more. I was at 15 mph and ready to begin my turn and felt something was wrong. My left front tire had begun to lightly skid. The pedal went to the floor, was down at about 10 mph and before I could get my left foot onto the emergency brake and apply it, the left side front of truck struck a tree. The road is a private way and very narrow there. No air bag deployment, didn't damage the truck too much but it hit right on the tow hook and kinked the frame. I had my mechanic bring his analyzer to my home and it informed him that the control module had failed. I've spent good money after bad on those brakes and I demand the NHTSA do something.

After filling up my truck and got speed up to about 65mph my gas gauge went to empty and then would come back up after hitting a bump in the road or rocking the truck back and forth , also the light on the gear shift lever kept going out and couldn't tell what gear I was in, could peck on console and light might come back on but stays off most of the time now. Now the fuel gauge still acts up and it does not give and accurate reading. Have to set my trip timer each time I fillup so I will know how much gas I have unless someone steals a lot of it then I usually run out of gas along side the road.
