1999 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

ADDING ONE MORE FAILURE OF THE ABS SYSTEM TO THE LONG LIST OF UNHAPPY GM TRUCK OWNERS. ABS FAILED AS DESCRIBED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS AND COST TO REPAIR IS $1000. *AK

THE BRAKES ON MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO FAILED. I REALIZED THE BRAKES WERE DRAGGING/LOCKING UP AND WHEN I TRIED TO STOP GOT A TERRIBLE NOISE WHICH WAS HEARD BY EVERYONE IN THE PARKING LOT. WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME, THEY FINALLY GAVE OUT AND I COASTED INTO THE INTERSECTION. I CAN STOP IF I PUMP THE BRAKES BUT THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER, REAR PADS AND REAR ROTORS ARE SHOT. BRAKE FLUID IS LEAKING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IT LITERALLY ATE RIGHT THROUGH WHILE DRIVING HOME FOR 45 MILES. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. TOTAL ESTIMATE TO FIX = $1250.00 , RECOVERY FROM GM = NOTHING. *AK

THERE IS A CHRONIC FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE, FUEL GAUGE FAILS. THIS UNIT LOCATED IN THE FUEL TANK FAILS DUE TO "CONTAMINATED FUEL IN THE AREA ATTACKING AND CORRODING THE UNIT CAUSING IT TO FAIL." THIS IS THE SAME RESPONSE DEALERS ARE INSTRUCTED TO GIVE WHEN CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD THIS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY FROM DEALERS FROM EL PASO, TEXAS TO NORTHERN NEW MEXICO.*AK

ABS & BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. TOOK TO DEALER TO HAVE CHECKED BUT LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AT THE TIME. THEY DID NOT EVEN GET IN AND TEST DRIVE. I WAS TOLD ITS A COMMON PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE ABS MODULES AND THAT ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THEY ARE LEAD TO BELIEVE THEY DONT HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE. *AK

VEHICLE W/ 40,400 MILES. ABS WARNING LIGHT ON VEHICLE COMES ON AS START VEHICLE. ABS MOTOR/MODULE UNDER DRIVER'S SIDE OF CAB CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER IGNITION TURNED OFF. UNIT IS HOT TO TOUCH. NO ABS IF UNIT DISCONNECTED TO SEEK REPAIR.*AK

NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WITH CONSISTENT VEHICLE MAINTAINENCE. THE ABS MODULE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO LOSE POWER AND REQUIRED MORE THAN NORMAL BRAKING TIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY AT A COST OF $1,000. I WAS TOLD IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY PART THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF BUT REFUSES TO RECALL DUE TO THE 750,000 1999 SILVERADOS ON THE ROAD. AT A PART COST OF $700 YOU CAN EASILY DO THE MATH. A RECALL MUST BE IN ORDER. THESE HEAVY TRUCKS ARE NOT SAFE ON THE ROAD IF NOT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER.*AK

WHILE LOADING LUMBER INTO MY 1999 CHEVY K1500 SILVERADO THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES BROKE RELEASING THE TAILGATE. THE WEIGHT OF THE LUMBER CAUSED THE TAILGATE TO REST ON THE REAR BUMPER CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE. THE LUMBER ITSELF NEARLY KNOCKED MYSELF AND A FRIEND TO THE GROUND. THE REPLACEMENT CABLES COST ME $31.00 DOLLARS FROM THE DEALER, BUT THEN I FIND OUT THAT THE 2000-2004 SILVERADO'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAVE AND THE REPLACEMENT CABLES SOLD TO ME BY THE DEALER ARE THE SAME FAULTY CABLES I HAD TO BEGIN WITH AND THAT I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. *JB

WHILE I WAS 1100 MILES AWAY FROM HOME ON VACATION THERE WAS A HUMMING NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE. AFTER RETURNING HOME IT WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND I WAS TOLD FROM THERE HEAD MECHANIC THAT IT WAS A SHORTED OUT CONTROL MODULE FOR THE ABS MOTOR. THE MECHANIC DID NOT EVEN LOOK UNDER THE VEHICLE BECAUSE HE SAID HE WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS PRODUCT FAILING DUE TO ALL OF THE OTHER 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO'S THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE LOCAL MECHANIC PULLED THE FUSE OUT AND THAT STOPPED THE MOTOR FROM RUNNING. *LA AFTER THAT, I CALLED THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CERTIFIED VEHICLE FROM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST ME A FEE TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT, I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD A CERTIFIED MECHANIC ALREADY LOOK AT AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY NEEDED TO HAVE A G.M. MECHANIC LOOK AT IT BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME. SO AFTER PAYING $60 FOR THEM TO TELL WHAT I ALREADY KNEW. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1200 TO $1400 FOR THE NEW PART AND LABOR. I AM STILL DRIVING IT TODAY WITHOUT THE ABS THIS I STRONGLY FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, FOR ONE THE ABS LIGHT IS ALWAYS LIT ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT. SO THERE WOULD BE NO WAY OF TELLING IF THERE IS MORE WRONG WITH THE BREAKS IF SOMETHING ELSE WOULD BREAK ON THEM. ALSO, ISN'T ABS SUPPOSE TO BE A SAFETY DEVICE COMPARED TO THE MECHANICAL BREAKS OF THE 80'S. G.M. NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS > RECALL IN ORDER! *LA

THE CONSUMER SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND THE BRAKE PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF. IT CONTINUED TO PUMP EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION IS OFF THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE ON THE ABS BRAKES IS DEFECTIVE. *LA

NOTICED A LOUD BUZZING SOUND COMING FROM NEAR THE FRAME UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. BUZZING PRESENT WITH KEY ON AND OFF. VISUAL INSPECTION INDICATED THAT IT PROBABLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS. PULLED THE ABS FUSE, AND BUZZING STOPPED. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED THAT THE EBCM WENT BAD, AND MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF NEARLY $1000. ALSO, SEEMS TO BE A VERY FREQUENT ISSUE WITH 1999 AND 2000 CHEVY TRUCKS.*AK

TAILGATE STRAP BROKE. HAVE NOT REPLACED AS OF YET, BEING CAREFUL NOT TO LOAD WEIGHT ON TAILGATE. *LA

FUEL SENDING UNIT FAULTY. MANY REPORTS ON WEB OF SAME FAILURE DUE TO FUEL ADDITIVES DAMAGING CONTACTS.*AK

WE PURCHASED A 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO ON 03-27-01. WE HAVE NEVER USED IT FOR HEAVY-DUTY WORK. ON 7-1-04, MY HUSBAND, DRIVING ON A COUNTY PARK ROAD AT 15-20 MPH, WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND THE TAIL GATE OPENED AND THE RIGHT REAR CABLE ON THE TAILGATE BROKE IN TWO. THE TAILGATE, HANGING FROM THE LEFT CABLE, WAS DAMAGED AS IT WAS DRAGGED ABOUT 10 FT. THE CABLE, WHICH IS COVERED WITH PLASTIC, WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED UNDER THE PLASTIC COVER. THE TOP OF THE CABLE COVER DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ANY OPEN ACCESS TO WATER, SO IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT AN INSPECTION OF THE CABLE WOULD HAVE SHOWN ANY WEAR. THE DEALER TOLD US THERE WAS A CABLE RECALL FOR MODEL YEARS 2000 AND ON, BUT NOT THE 1999. REPAIR WORK WAS OUR RESPONSIBILITY. HE REFERRED US TO GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE. I SPOKE WITH A MANAGER, ROBERT BECKETT, WHO OPENED A COMPLAINT FILE#1-232-773-551. HE ALSO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO SINCE WE WERE OUTSIDE OUR NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY. IT WAS SIMPLY A MAINTENANCE/WEAR ITEM. HE SAID HE INSPECTS HIS TAILGATE CABLES EVERY TIME HE CHANGES HIS OIL. A MAN I KNOW WHO WORKED FOR GM FOR 20 YEARS AND HAS OWNED PICK-UP TRUCKS ALL OF HIS LIFE SAID HE NEVER CHECKS THE TAILGATE CABLES ON ANY OF HIS TRUCKS, HAS NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE WHO DOES, AND THINKS THAT THIS MANAGER'S IMPLICATION THAT IT WAS NEGLIGENCE ON OUR PART IS UNFOUNDED. WE PURCHASED TWO NEW CABLES A GM PARTS DEALER AND INSTALLED THEM. WE STILL HAVE THE DEFECTIVE CABLE. WE FEEL THIS ACCIDENT WAS A RESULT OF A PART DEFECT AND THAT GM SHOULD BE RE

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE PUMP DEVELOPED INTERNAL SHORT. VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 47,000 MILES ON IT. CHEVROLET DEALER QUOTED $1000 TO REPLACE PUMP. CALLED 1 800 COMPLAINT NUMBER. THEY CALLED DEALER AND WORKED THE PRICE DOWN TO $400. STILL TOO MUCH FOR ME TO PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE PART THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR NOTHING.*AK

WHEN DRIVING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE ROAD, SUCH AS A GRAVEL ROAD, ABS SYSTEM CHATTERED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. ALSO, WHEN THIS OCCURRED, EXCESSIVE FORCE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ABS COMPUTER CHIP. THIS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. . THE PROBLEM HAD PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED THAT THE ABS WAS WITHIN THEIR LEVEL OF ACCEPTANCE. *AK *LA

THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS TOO LOOSE AND MOVED BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO THE CONSUMER. *AK ( THE SEAT WOULD NOT LOCK INTO PLACE) THE LEFT FRONT SEAT MANUAL ADJUSTER PLASTIC CLIP HAD BROKEN INSIDE AND WAS REPLACED. *SC *JB

LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, MY ABS SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT ON MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO, I WAS SIMPLY DRIVING TO TOWN WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON, 34,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE MOTOR KEPT RUNNING EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, I IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDED TO MY ASC CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO REVIEWED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED ME MY ABS MODULE IS SHOT AND THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $1000.00+ (PARTIALLY DUE TO NO AFTERMARKET PARTS AVAILABLE.) SO NOT ONLY IS GM UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, THEY ARE COMPOUNDING THE PAIN FOR OWNERS BY HOLDING A MONOPOLY ON THE REPAIR PART. UNACCEPTABLE - A RECALL IS IN ORDER - THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE GM IS NOT ADDRESSING. *AK

AT 55000 MILES THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THE ABS MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN EVEN WHEN ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THIS HAS OCCURED ON NUMEROUS OCCASSION AND APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. NHTSA HAD LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUED. IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE TO FORCE CHEVROLET TO HAVE A RECALL. *AK *NM

AT 38000 MILES MY ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILED. TWO LOCAL DEALERS INFORMED ME THAT GM HAS HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS MODULE AT A COST OF $1200.00.I CALLED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND GOT NO ASSISTANCE.I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THE ABS MODULE FAILURE PROBLEM. *AK

MY TRUCK HAS 68000 MILES ON IT AND I AM NOW ON MY THIRD TRANSMISSION. I HAVE THE 1999 LT MODEL WITH THE 4 SPEED AUTO. ONE FAILURE WAS WHILE ON VACATION TRANS FAILED WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC. IT WOULD NOT HOLD PRESSURE. NEXT FAILURE WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS LATER LOST REVERSE AND 1ST GEAR COMPLETLY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AGAIN. NOW 3RD TRANS IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT IN THESE TRANSMISSIONS. *JB

THE FUEL GUAGE ON THE 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WOULD BECOME ERRATIC AND WOULD READ INCORRECT FUEL READINGS. CAUSE OF THIS DEFECT IS A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT, BUILT INTO THE SILVERADO'S FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. *AK

THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED, WITHIN 19,000 MILES OF HAVING THE FRONT SEAT BELT RETRACTOR RECALL 01V159000 PERFORMED. THE FAILURE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR. *AK

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE DRIVER/PASSENGER SIDE TAIL GATE STRAPS SNAPPED. *JB THIS OCCURED WHILE THE CONSUMER LOADED AN ATV IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. BOTH CABLES ON THE TAIL GATE BROKE AT THE SAME TIME. THE CABLES SHOWED NO SIGN OF PROBLEM BEFORE. BOTH CABLES WERE REPLACED WITH NEW GM FACTORY CABLES OF THE SAME MATERIAL. THE CABLES WERE RECALLED ON THE 2000-2004 MODELS. THEY WERE REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL. *SC

DRIVER'S SEAT IS NO LONGER WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED SEAT SLIDES BACKWARDS. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED, THE SEAT WOULD SLIDE FORWARD. CONSUMER HAS MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO EXAMINE THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS. *AK *NM

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MOTOR AND MODULE GO OUT AROUND 50,000 MILES. I KNOW OF AT LEAST 5 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO'S THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO IN ROSWELL ALONE. THE ANTI-LOCK MOTOR WILL CONSTANTLY RUN UNTIL YOU PULL THE FUSE ON THE SYSTEM. ONCE THE FUSE IS PULLED YOU HAVE NO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES AND THE ANTI-LOCK AND BRAKE LIGHT STAY ON IN THE DASH. TO ME THIS SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD CAUSE SOME ACCIDENTS. BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD OF IT CAUSING ANY. *JB

AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF CONSUMER HEARD HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE HUMMING CONTINUED UNTIL THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. *AK

ADJUSTING FRONT DRIVER SEAT WHEN ADJUSTING LOCK BROKE SENDING SEAT SLIDING FORWARD. SEAT WILL NOT LOCK JUST SLIDES BACK AND FORTH WHEN DRIVING. SINCE SAFETY BELT RESTRAINT IS IN THE SEAT AND NOT BOLTED TO THE ACTUALLY FRAME OF TRUCK SEAT SLIDES BACK AND FORTH DURING BRAKING AND ACCELERATION. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL FIXED. THE BROKEN PIECE IS A THREE INCH PIECE OF PLASTIC. I REALLY DON'T FEEL SAFE NOW IN KNOWING THAT THE ONLY THING RESTRAINING ME FROM CRASHING INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND INTO A INFLATING AIRBAG DURING A FRONT CRASH IS A PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT COULD AND WILL AT ANY TIME BREAK FOR NO APPARENT REASON EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT CHEVROLET HAS A DESIGN FLAW AND STILL DOES NOT FEEL THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO HAVE THIS REPLACED WITH SOMETHING THAT WOULD PROVIDE MORE SECURITY THAN A PIECE OF PLASTIC. AND THE KICKER IS THE TECH AT THE DEALER CLAIMS IT TAKES 2.5 HOURS TO REPLACE THE LOCKING ADJUSTER AT THE RATE (MY BILL WAS $230 JUST FOR THE LABOR) AND THE PART COST RANGES FROM $150 TO $200 DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU GET IT. OUTRAGEOUS IF YOU ASK ME. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ABLE TO GET MY PART FOR FREE BUT STILL HAD TO PAY LABOR TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. I HAVE A 1999 SILVERADO BUT IT ONLY HAS 11,000 ON IT SO THE PART DEFINITELY DID NOT BREAK DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. SO I GUESS AFTER A FEW PEOPLE ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED MAYBE SOMEONE WILL ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES SUCH AS THIS AND MAKE THE MANUFACTURERS OF THESE VEHICLES WITH SAFETY ISSUE

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH TAILGATE CABLE SNAPPED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE IT WAS RUSTED AND CORRODED. *AK

I DRIVE A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. ON A RAINY DAY TRYING TO DO A STOP THE VEHICLE LOST CONTROL LUCKILY THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. LATER I LEARNED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS FAILING. I LEARNED LATER THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE HAD MANY FAMILIAR INCIDENTS. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE GM CHARGES AN EXTREMELY HIGH PRICE AND THIS IS NOT COVERED BY ANY TYPE OF INSURANCE OF WARRANTY NOT EVEN THE DEALERS. *AK

BROKEN TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLE--SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN '00-'03 RECALL BUT ISN'T, WHY. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH VEHICLE STALLED, CAUSING CONSUMER TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE DISTRIBUTOR AND ROTOR CAP. *AK

DURING NORMAL OPERATION, THE ABS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT CATASTROPHICALLLY FAILED LEADING TO A BATTERY TO ABS HYDRAULIC PUMP MOTOR SHORT CIRCUIT. THE PUMP MOTOR CONINUOUSLY RAN EVEN WITH THE IGNITION OFF UNITLL THE ABS FUSE WAS REMOVED. A NEW CONTROL UNIT WAS REQUIRED TO RESTORE THE SYSTEM TO OPERATION. THIS UNIT COST $877. APPARANTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WAS PART OF A 2000 MODEL YEAR RECALL, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE 1999 YEAR VEHICLES. I HAVE FOUND TWO OTHER 1999 VEHICLES THAT EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. I HAVE THE OLD MODULE WHICH I CAN MAKE AVAILIBLE FOR TESTING.*AK

ERRATIC ABS OPERATION. BURNING SMELL FROM UNDER TRUCK FROM ABS MOTOR.I WEAR HEARING AIDS & WAS NOT AWARE MOTOR WAS RUNNING & GETTING HOT.*AK

THE SERVICE ABS LIGHT ON MY 1999 SILVERADO WENT ON, AND I NOTICED A HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I TRACED THE NOISE TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT. THE PUMP ON THIS UNIT WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE PUMP FROM CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING WAS TO REMOVE THE ABS FUSE WHICH DISABLES THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. I CONTACTED GM BUT THEY'RE ADVICE IS TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH ABS DISABLED.*AK

WHILE BRAKING PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THEN THE BRAKES FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK *LA

WHILE BRAKING THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE DEALERSHIPS MECHANIC INFORM THE CONSUMER THAT THE FRONT/REAR ROTORS/PAD WERE CORRODED AND REPLACED THEM. *NM *LA

THE DRIVER'S SEAT TRACK IS BROKEN. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT AFTER ACCESSING THE REAR SEAT TO GET IT TO LOCK IN PLACE. SOMTIMES SLIDES FORWARD OR BACKWARD WITHOUT WARNING. SEAT TILT ADJUSTER ALSO BROKEN, JUST FLOPS ON FLOOR. DEALERS ARE NOT VERY HELPFUL. HUGE SAFETLY ISSUE.*AK

SEAT POSITION MECHANISM ON MANUAL ADJUST 60/40 BENCH SEAT FAILED CAUSING SEAT TO UNEXPECTABLY MOVE FORWARD DURING A PANIC STOP. THE SEAT MOVED FROM REAR MOST POSITION TO FRONT MOST POSITION. DURING THIS EVENT THE SEAT BELT ALSO FAILED TO RESTRAIN THE DRIVER. NO INJURIES WERE PRESENT.*AK

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:98V2420000 INVOLVES PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING BOX AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALER MY VIN NUMBER OF [XXX] NOT ONE OF THE ONES INVOLVED IN IT.EVEN THOUGH I KEEP GETTING A KNOCKING NOISE OCCURRING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND THE STEERING SHAFT HAS BEEN REPLACED FOR SOME REASON.CAN YOU CHECK INTO THIS?ALSO I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE WORK DONE BUT IT SEEMS SOMETIMES I'LL BE PRESSING ON THE BRAKES TO STOP AND ITS LIKE THEY GIVE AWAY AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE PETAL DOWN FURTHER TO GET THEM TO STOP.CAN YOU ALSO CHECK THIS OUT?

PLASTIC SEAT-LOCKING DEVICE ON DRIVER SIDE SEAT BROKE IN HALF INSIDE RAIL CAUSING THE SEAT TO SLIDE BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTION THEREBY PREVENTING THE SEAT FROM LOCKING INTO POSITION. HAD NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE CHAIR HAD DIFFICULTY LOKCING WHEN SEAT WAS ADJUSTED TO GAIN ACCESS TO BACK SEAT.

MY 1999 SILVERADO HAS DEVELOPED A STICKING THROTTLE OFF IDLE CREATING A POTENTIAL HAZARD IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. *JB
