“The vehicle is 16 years old. It currently has 201,352 miles. The body is starting to rust over the rear tire and the frame is really rusted. Driver power window switch went out and rolled itself down and cant get it to go up at all. Really love the truck but GM could have built it to last longer..my 1974 gmc is in better shape than this truck is and its nearing 40 years old.”

NHTSA complaint #10786767, filed 2015-10, 199,999 miles

“Several years ago I filed a complaint on my 1999 Chevrolet c-1500 pickup with the same body style as 1998. An electrical fire occurred in the drivers side door while parked at work, consistent with NHTSA 03v093000. The incident occurred on a us navy base and the navy fire chief investigated the fire. His report ruled the fires origin electrical in the drivers door. It's been several years and I'm not sure of the date, but I can check with my insurance company who paid a $10,000 claim. Nhtsa 03v093000 should be expanded to include 1999 models of the old body style. …”
