TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT PLACED BAD GASOLINE IN HIS VEHICLE ONCE AND HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. WHILE REMOVING THE TANK, HE NOTICED THAT THE FRAME WAS CORRODED AND HAD SPREAD TO THE REAR BUMPER. THE AUTO GARAGE STATED THAT THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE REPAIR COST WOULD EXCEED $1,500; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT IS UNABLE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE MANUFACTURER FILED A REPORT AND SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO INSPECT THE FRAME, AND CONCLUDED THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OVER EIGHT YEARS OLD. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 145,000.
