Description of the problem	I bought my truck, 2005 silverado z71 from a used car dealer in december 2014. I love the truck. I live in maine. We have state inspection laws that are enforced by the police. When the inspection sticker ran out in january 2015, i was unable to get a new one, due to the frame is badly rusted. I called the dealer i bought it from and he basically told me to get bent and that it wasn't his problem, even though he assured me i would have no trouble getting an inspection sticker when the time came, at the time of the sale (i could only assume he was right, because the truck looks perfect). I understand that he is just trying to make a living, like the rest of us, and do not hold it against him. I do not, however, understand how gm can get away with making vehicles that cannot last 10 years. The truck is perfect, inside and out, it runs great, yet you can take pieces of the frame off with your bare hands. I now have a $260/month payment for the next 3 1/2 years that i am stuck with. I cannot sell the truck for nearly what i bought it for 8 months ago. I went ahead and called the corporate office of chevrolet yesterday, and after 3 separate calls, i was put in contact with a higher-up and he told me there was nothing that could be done to help me, as the manufacturer's warranty has expired. He also said this is the first complaint he has heard, "i mean, come on, this is a 10 year old truck". Doubt it. Anyways, this a definite safety concern, as i don't think my truck would fare too well in a collision. I will not let my 6 y/o daughter ride in it. I would also just like to say that due the amount of rust on the frame of my truck, it has been going on for several years, and i only wish someone had pointed this out sooner, and maybe then it would have been covered under the factory warranty, though i seriously doubt it after speaking with donald yesterday.
