“During yearly inspection the mechanic noted excessive rust on frame components and warned that something should be done…. I am on my third Silverado and frame coating, brake lines and transmission coolant lines have had issues with excessive rust. I bought this new in 2014 and hoped they had addressed these issues… over the previous Silverados I have owned. What recourse do I have towards GM. The truck has 50k.”
