general problems of the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

I just had transmission work done on my truck when it burned the gears up. My brakes have always either went completely to the floor before they stopped or locked up. Right now its broke down due to too many problems for me to be able to fix but has only been not driveable since July 2017.

When going the speed limit the truck seems to want to cross over lanes just by crossing a dip. It feels floaty on the road another words it doesn't want to stay in its own lane.

Went to get vehicle inspected was informed that the frame is rusted out and is uninspectable and that I need to junk the truck the body is great has 150000 miles but the cross braces are rusted out and its cracked over the rear axel with all the problems oyhers are having and with Toyota having recall on frame rusting out gm should be doing the same they say that the NHTSA is the one to tell them to do a recall and untill they are told to there is nothing thay can do.

I was changing the shocks on the rear and noticed that the frame where the top shock mount is is almost rusted off. Will chevy pay to repair the frame damage because its a safety hazard. Why is it that chevy frames rust sooo bad? why don't they coat the frames with something to they don't rust sooo bad. Ford frames don't rust this bad.
