general problems of the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado

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.

I have had my vehicle since November of 98. Approximately 2 weeks after I purchased the vehicle, I brought the vehicle back to supreme Chevrolet for a vibration (12/22/98). The seats, center console, steering wheel, cup hold, etc. Vibrate and shake erratically when I reach a higher speed. The tires were replaced because they were suppose to be defective, that did not help. The vibration is getting worse. I have been trying for months to get this fixed. The dealerships have no clue what to do. Gm has no fix! it is not normal for a vehicle to ride like this. I have tried everything to get this vehicle fixed. Help! help! help! note: the only questions I may not have answered correctly is the dot number regarding the tires and if the vehicle is 3 point, motor, or 2 point belt.

While driving there is a lot of vibration & noise coming from steering wheel, mainly while turning or braking, speed was not a factor.
