The truck has a very rotted frame on it. Seems to be of poor quality and with only120,000 miles and the body is in super condition this should not be happening.. Is there any thing to be done,will chevrolet do anything at all to help? Are we all stuck with this problem as others on line have complained of this. Thanks.
