Suspension Problems of Chevrolet K1500

I have tried to stay with a gm product but the truck I recently purchased had the following problems,while trying also to avoid the most common problem of the gm bad frame,by the way Toyota warranties there frames. The 1st month of ownership the rear spring shackles broke there are 30 year old trucks that still don't have this problem,I own one. Next about another 30 days go by the electric fuel pump decided to die. That so far brings repairs up to close to 650. 00 after 60 days. Last wk. My brake line failed @ about 50 mph,no warning light right to the floor. This truck had been taken care of . Should I continue about the hole in my windshield frame every time it rains my ash tray is filled with water. By the way I was quoted about 1400. 00 for all the brake line repairs. Wtf gm who has that kind of money for repairs,I dont. The public should be compensated for substandard material use.

At 25 mph and above the vehicles steering wheel will jerk when rounding a corner or making a turn. It will jerk the steering wheel when turning right and left. Higher speeds tend to make the jerking worse. I have had several certified mechanics evaluate the problem from the power steering pump, gear housing or even the sensor. After reasearching this issue on the local and nationally level, I would like a definate solution before I sink hundreds of dollars into this vehicle.
