The frame has been rusting out bad for many years. My gas tank is about to fall off it is hanging down do to cross member rusting out, and shocks too. Also body is rusting bad do to not putting the right rust inhibitors in the paint and frame.
On multiple occasions, while driving, my truck suddenly locked/unlocked/locked/unlocked doors, airflow changed from a/c to heat, Stabiltrak disengaged, Parking assist shut off, Traction Control turned off, lights shut off, engine stalled, and was unresponsive.
Started out by sometimes not going into PARK, but now, Transmission will NOT go into PARK. This is hilly country, and I am concerned that the vehicle could roll away, although the parking brake has worked so far. When I park in my driveway, the rear (parking) brakes groan and slip just a little. So far, nobody has been killed.

Takata recall # 16v381. I bought this chevy new and was driving to louisiana. My mileage at the time was 35,955 miles. The red colored seat belt light came on. I was to close to the 36,000 mile mark for warranty coverage to make it to shreveport, la. So I have been driving this truck with the light on. I have asked dealerships if they see the problem, but was asked for a commitment for unknown amounts of money to check and repair this problem. Thank the lord I have not been in an accident with this condition. I want to know if this has been the case with other models as mine. I have a second problem with the engine an transmission. The transmission went out at about 92,000 miles and had to be replaced. Lastly the yellow check engine light has been on. I have spent several thousand to fix this. Even at dealership. I would leave and the light would return. Sometimes I had only driven a mile. I have had other mechanics check it out and it appears I have a lifter problem on my number two cylinder causing intermittent misfires to occur. Is this also a problem with my model?
