Frame And Members problem #1

The Chevrolet's and GMC c1500 and k1500 1997; the structure and frame around the driver and passenger have dents appearing which results in driver's and passenger's doors sagging, and not shutting properly, which may cause injuries.

Body problem #2

The driver's side door handle doesn't work. I believe this was a 'recall' but I couldn't get the dealership to fix it. Real fun having to roll down the window just to open the door from inside, especially when the door's window is frozen. Obviously the vehicle is in a parked postion. The truck only had 149,000 when the handle stopped working.
