1999 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

WHILE DRIVING HOME IN MY 1999 SILVERADO WITH MANUAL CONTROL SEATS, I HAD AN UNCOMMANDED RELEASE OF THE DRIVER SEAT WHILE BRAKING. UPON INVESTIGATION A PART OF THE SEAT WAS FOUND BROKEN OFF AND LAYING IN THE SEAT TRACK. THERE WAS NO ADJUSTMENTS PERFORMED TO THE SEAT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE OCCURRING.*AK

HORN FAILED. THE HORN BECAME HIGH PITCHED AND THEN FAILED ALTOGETHER.*AK

BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO CORROSION.*AK

WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD PULSATE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE MECHANICS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *NM

THE VEHICLE'S ANTILOCK BRAKE MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. AS A RESULT THE BATTERY STARTED TO RUN LOW. THE CAUSE WAS UNKNOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

MY 1999 CHEV P/U TAILGATE CABLE BROKE CAUSING MINOR INJURY. I NOTICED AN ARTICLE RECALLING 2000-2004 GM'S. MY TRUCK WAS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD WHEN THE CABLE FAILED. 1999 GM VEHICLES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB

FRONT SUSPENSION STABILIZER BAR LINK FELL OFF ON DRIVERS SIDE, PASSENGER SIDE WOULD FALL OFF IF NOT CHECKED AND TIGHTENED TO MANUFACTURERS TORQUE SPECS. THIS IS A 60K MILE TRUCK, NEVER WRECKED, DEALER MAINTAINED, NEVER OFF ROAD, NEVER ABUSED, 70% HIGHWAY MILES, NO SUSPENSION WORK EVER DONE EXCEPT SHOCK REPLACEMENT. HANDLING BECOMES UNPREDICTABLE WHEN ONE SIDE COMES LOOSE, LIKE ON MY TRUCK. *JB

ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS, AND DRIVER HAS TO DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARD TO ACCELERATE. ONCE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ENGAGES, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES TO A HIGH SPEED. ON ONE OCCASION, DRIVER DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR HARD AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND HIT A DOG.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLE. IT WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY. *AK

BOTH THE TAILGATE CABLES BROKE AROUND THE SAME TIME AND I HAVE 1999 SLIVERADO. *AK

THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO BRAKE POWER. DRIVER MUST APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN OR TO STOP. *AK THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT, BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN FUSE FOR ANTILOCK BRAKES WAS REMOVED. *LA

WHILE DRIVING THE ABS LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ABS MODULE NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WORN OUT PARTS. *AK *MR

FRONT BEARING FAILED. *AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT AN INDICATOR LIGHT PROBLEM (SHIFT INDICATOR AND ODOMETER). THE DASHBOARD WAS TOTALLY DIGITAL, AND THE LIGHTS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. *AK

ON 3/9/04 I TOOK MY 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE FRONT BRAKES SERVICED. THE DEALER SERVICED THE FRONT BRAKES, WHICH SHOWED "NORMAL WEAR". THE DEALER THEN CHECKED THE REAR BRAKES AND FOUND THAT BOTH REAR ROTORS SHOWED SEVERE PITTING. BOTH REAR ROTORS WERE SO BADDLY PITTED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO RESURFACE THEM. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE RIGHT ROTOR WAS 85 PERCENT WORN AND THE LEFT SIDE WAS 30 PERCENT WORN. THE DEALER ALSO ADVISED THAT THE RIGHT REAR CALIPER WAS STICKING WHICH LED TO THE EXCESSIVE WEAR. THE DEALER HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR THE EXCESSIVE PITTING/RUSTING OF THE REAR ROTORS. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT APPEARED SIMILIAR TO VEHICLES THAT WERE RECIEVED FROM AUCTION THAT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR THREE TO SIX MONTHS. BOTH REAR ROTORS AND THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE CALIPER HAD TO BE REPLACED COSTING NEARLY $1000.00. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 49,186 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS NO INDICATION, IE. MORE FORCE THAN NORMAL NEEDED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR BRAKING, GRINDING, OR PULLING TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER, DURING BRAKING THAT SOMETHING MAY BE WRONG. IT APPEARS FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *AK

OUR CHEVROLET SILVERADO'S TAILGATE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD!*AK

I OWN A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 4X4 EXT. CAB WITH A 5.3 ENGINE AND HAVE HAD, WHAT SEEMS TO ME, TO BE A STRONG VIBRATION COMING FROM THE TORQUE CONVERTER AT 40-50 MPH. DEALER TELLS ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANY VIBRATION EVEN THOUGH THE MECHANICS CAN FEEL IT WHEN DRIVING IT. ALSO THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS CLUNK GOING OVER EVEN THE SMALLEST OF BUMPS. BOTH HAVE HAPPENED EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *AK

THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRES TREAD SEPARATED WITHOUT WARNING. NO IMPACT REPORTED. *AK *NM

ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM - I HAVE DOCUMENTATION STARTING FROM 2 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY 99' CHEVY Z71 COMPLAINING OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. EVERY TIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER, HE SAID "OH, THAT'S NORMAL". I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF TIME FOR ALL SORTS OF DEFECTS WITH THE BRAKES BEING THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT WAS FOR THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES WAS ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY GOING OUT. ONCE AGAIN, "OH, THAT'S NORMAL". ONCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, SO DID MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES. EVEN WITH DOCUMENTATION, THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT AND CHEVROLET SAID I HAD TO GO THROUGH THE DEALER. I HAVE A STACK OF DOCUMENTATION FROM WHERE THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR MALFUNCTIONS AS WELL AS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG WITH A VEHICLE. I AM UPSET BECAUSE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEED FIXING FROM THE START AND THE DEALER OR CHEVROLET WOULD MAKE IT GOOD. *AK

TAILGATE WILL NOT STAY CLOSED AND LATCHED. ALWAYS DROPS OPEN WHILE DRIVING. *AK

WHILE DRIVING TAILGATE OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. *AK

MY FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ CORRECTLY. IT EITHER READS FULL (MOST OF THE TIME) OR JUST AFTER I FILL UP IT FLIPS TO EMPTY INTERMITENTLY. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF FUEL A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE I DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE TO USE THE TRIP METER TO GAGE HOW FAR I HAVE GONE. *AK

BRAKE LINES DEVELOPED CORROSION. AS A RESULT, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND THE BRAKE LINE BROKE. WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED AND GOING OVER A SPEED PUMP CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A COMPLETE STOP. *AK *MR

THE VEHICLE'S ABS MODULE MALFUNCTIONED. THE BRAKES WORKED BUT THE ABS WAS DEFECTIVE. *AK *NM

1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAD CATASTROPHIC ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FAILURE. ANTILOCK BREAKS ARE NOW TOTALLY INOPERABLE. THIS IS CAUSED BY A POORLY DESIGNED CONTROL MODULE, AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE SAME VEHICLE HAS A FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM IN WHICH THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS ONLY INTERMITTANTLY, AND IS RARLY ACCURATE WHEN IT DOES WORK. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE? HOW CAN I IN GOOD CONSCIENCE LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, AND FEEL THAT SHE IS SAFE? HOW COULD GM NOT RECALL, AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS?? PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!! *AK

ECBM SWITCH TO ACTIVATE THE ABS PUMP HAS FUSED SHUT RUNNING THE PUMP CONTINUOUSLY. PULLED FUSE TO SAVE PUMP. ABS WARNING LIGHT AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATED REMOVING ANY WARNING OF FURTHER BRAKE FAILURE. TRUCK STILL DRIVES AND IS NO MORE DANGEROUS THAN A TRUCK WITHOUT ABS, BUT FAILURE SHOULD NOT OCCUR ON RELATIVELY NEW TRUCK AND SHOULD NOT OCCUR SO OFTEN. FINALLY, GM SHOULD RECONSIDER HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO FIX THIS. WWW.CIRCUITSOLUTIONS.INFO WILL FIX IT FOR ABOUT $150 IF YOU REMOVE THE MODULE YOURSELF AND MAIL IT TO THEM. AT $60/HOUR YOU WOULD GET OVER NINE HOURS OF LABOR FROM YOUR LOCAL GARAGE BEFORE YOU WOULD EXCEED WHAT GM WANTS JUST FOR THE PART.*AK

WHILE BRAKING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD LOCK UP AND THE CONSUMER WOULD BE UNABLE TO DEPRESS TO BRAKE PEDAL TO DECREASE SPEED. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES. THE CAUSE HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. *PH THE CONSUMER WOULD BECOME UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE LEFT FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY WAS FOUND DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE NEEDED A THROTTLE BODY. *SC

ABS ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE FAILED--JUST LIKE ALL THE REST, STARTED TRUCK, HEARD PUMP NOISE FROM UNDER CAB, PULLED FUSE, ALMOST $1000 TO FIX ON A TRUCK WITH 57,000 MILES ON IT. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH EVERYONE. I'LL BE BUYING A FORD OR TOYOTA NEXT TIME AROUND.

INNER SEAT ADJUSTER ON DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE ON MY '99 CHEV SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB TRUCK, HAVING 34,000 MILES, ALLOWING SEAT TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD ON RAILS WITHOUT RESTRICTION. SEAT BELT IS PART OF SEAT THEREBY RESULTING IN THE DRIVER TO BE MOVING FORWARD AND BACKWARD ON SEAT RAILS WITHOUT RESTRICTION. SEAT OF COURSE DOES STOP IN THE FURTHER MOST BACKWARD AND FORWARD ENDS OF SEAT RAIL. CHEV DEALER LISTS PART AS "INNER ADJUSTER" PART #14691. THE PART IS SOLD AS A WHOLE ACCORDING TO THE DEALER AND RETAILS AT ABOUT $149.00. WHAT APPEARED TO BREAK WAS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT FITS IN THE RAIL AND WHICH WOULD SEEM TO BE THE PART THAT HALTS THE SEAT IN THE POSITION CHOSEN BY THE OCCUPANT. I STILL HAVE THE BROKEN PIECE AS RECOVERED FROM MY FLOOR BOARD. I HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS FOR A WEEK OR SO WITH THE SEAT NOT MOVING FORWARD AND BACKWARD WHEN ATTEMPTED BY ADJUSTMENT LEVER. I ASSUMED I HAD SOMETHING UNDER THE SEAT IMPEDING MOVEMENT, BUT WAS ACTUALLY DUE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEM.

INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE AT LOW SPEEDS, BRAKE PEDAL ON DRY PAVEMENT STIFF NON-RESPONSIVE MASHED PEDAL NO BRAKE RESPONSE STRUCK PEDESTRIAN DEALER FINDS NO PROBLEMS CHANGED BRAKE FLUID NO CHANGE DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *LA

THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE ABS PUMP WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SERVICE STATION TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, AND HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE IT. *AK THE ABS LIGHT HAD COME ON, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE FUSE HAD TO BE REMOVED TO DISABLE THE ABS. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED THAT GM SHOULD COVER THE REPAIRS DUE TO THE PART BEING A SAFETY FEATURE. *SC *JB

THE ABS MOTOR/PUMP RUNS CONSTANTLY WHEN THE ENGINE RUNS AND WHEN IT IS NOT RUNNING. EVEN THOUGH I THINK I HAVE ANTILOCK BRAKES WHEN I NEED THEM; I DO NOT! MY ABS DOESN'T WORK. CHEVROLET WON'T PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. DEALER WANTS $1,500.00 TO FIX. *LA

I OWN A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 PICKUP TRUCK WITH 45480 MILEAGE. ON 1/3/04 I NOTICED A MOTOR NOISE COMING FROM BENEATH THE DRIVERS DOOR WITH THE IGNITION TURNED OFF. I ALSO NOTICED THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. TO PREVENT THE BATTERY FROM DRAINING I IMMEDIATELY DROVE MY TRUCK TO JUST BRAKES. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE ABS MODULE UNIT HAS A SHORT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY TRUCK TO MAC HAIK CHEVY, KATY FREEWAY, HOUSTON, TEXAS ON A SATURDAY AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO BRING MY TRUCK BACK ON MONDAY AND THERE WAS NO RECALL NOTICE ON THE ABS UNIT. SINCE I WAS AFRAID OF DAMAGE TO MY BATTERY AND BRAKE SYSTEM I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO JUST BRAKES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM FIXED. THE ABS MODULE WAS REPLACED WHICH COST ME $ 1,165.00. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS MADE OF CHEVY SILVERADO PICKUPS WITH MALFUNCTIONED ABS MODULE UNITS. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND WAS AMAZED BY THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING CHEVY PICKUP TRUCK ABS MODULE UNIT FAILURES AND REPLACEMENTS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY CHEVROLET HAS FAILED TO MAKE SUCH AN ISSUE AS A RECALL. WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I WOULD THINK A GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION WOULD FORCE CHEVROLET TO MAKE A RECALL AND REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE BECOME VICTIMS TO CHEVROLET'S DEAF EARS. *LA

CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A PARKING BRAKE PROBLEM. THE PARKING BRAKE WORE OUT ON ONE SIDE. *AK

ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILED AT 31,000 MILES. PART ALONE IS OVER $800.00. DEALER APPARENTLY UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING . NEVER BUY A GM PRODUCT AGAIN!! BUY IMPORTS, THEY MAKE BETTER CARS AND PROVIDE SUPERIOR SERVICE BY FAR! WHEN SOMEONE DIES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, HOPE GM AND NHTSA GET THE HELL SUED OUT OF THEM FOR DOING NOTHING TO TAKE CARE OF A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT EXIST AND BOTH PARTIES HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR SOME TIME. QUESTION TO NHTSA! IF I CHECK FATALITIES BOX AS 4 PEOPLE DEAD!! THEN WILL YOU ACT??? *CB

FAULTY 4 WHEEL DRIVE SWITCHES &ABS MODULES RUNNING NON STOP. DEALER SAYS THEY SEE A LOT OF THESE BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS. AN AVERAGE OF 1 PER WEEK. *CB

1999, CHEVROLET, SILVERADO, AT 45000 MILES THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. THE ABS MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. IT SEEMED LIKE THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. *AK THE MODULE WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THIS PROBLEM MADE THE ABS INOPERATIVE. *SC THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND WOULD REMAIN LIT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE DEALERSHIP'S MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER OF A POSSIBLE ABS PUMP FAILURE. *NM

WHILE BRAKING, THE ROTORS WOULD MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. *AK THE BRAKES PULLED TO THE SIDE AND STOPPING DISTANCE WAS INCREASED. ALL THE ROTORS WERE DEFECTIVE, THERE WERE PIECES MISSING AND RUST POCKETS ON THE ROTORS. *JB *NM

THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE. THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY. THE REAR RIGHT CALIPER LOCKED UP AND ATE THE ROTOR. THE OTHER ROTORS WERE PITTED AND RUSTED. THE FRONT AND LEFT BRAKES HAD 100% PAD ON THEM, ONLY THE REAR RIGHT PAD HAD WORN. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THE TRUCK WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN ENOUGH. *JB THE LLEFT REAR WHEEL WAS THE ONLY WHEEL STOPPING THE VEHICLE. *JB *NM

ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILED ABS MOTOR RUNS CONTINOUSLY EVEN AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF.

ABS PUMP MOTOR RUNS ALL THE TIME , EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. P.S. LOOKED FOR A SOLUTION ON THE WEB, FOUND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 1999 CHEVY SILVERDO AND VERY COSTLY. CALLED CHEVY MOTOR DIVISION, THEY GAVE ME A SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER AND SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION LOCKED IN GEAR. EMERG. BRK. CABLE WILL NOT ADJUST. ABS MODULE HAS NOISE. STOPPED BY REMOVING FUSE, ABS FEATURE NOT FUNCTIONING. TRANS FAILED IN FEB. 2003 @ 65K MILES. REPAIR MADE BY VALENCIA CHEVROLET IN VALENCIA CALIF. COST WAS HANDLED BY A EXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY. COST TO ME AFTER A LOT OF HEATED NEGOTIATION WAS 85.00. THE AGENCY WANTED ME TO AUTHORIZE A NEW TRANS. AND CLUTCH. COST: 3600.00 THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE FAILED @21K MILES IN 2001, THE ABS MODULE FAILED @42K MILES. IN 2002. NEITHER BRAKE ITEM HAS BEEN REPAIRED. VALENCIA CHEVROLET WANTS 2300.00 TO REPAIR THE ABS PROBLEM, NO QUOTE TO REPAIR BRAKE CABLE.

THIS IS THE FIRST NEW VEHICLE WE HAVE EVER BOUGHT. BUT NOT A GOOD EXPREIENCE, WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD GM PRODUCTS WITH NO PROBLEMS. WE JUST HAD THE TRUCK IN THE GARAGE AND THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER, IT SAID CODE PO137 02 SENSOR BANK 1 SENSOR 2 REPLACE ALSO CODE PO300 MISFIRE #7 CYLINDER REPLACE INJECTOR AND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. THIS COST 448.78. ALSO PO300 MISFIRE #7 CYLINDER REPLACE INJECTOR AND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND CODE PO463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDS FUEL SENSOR REPLACED AT A COST OF 301.00. WE CAN'T AFFORD THIS AT THIS TIME. THEY ALSO SAID BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WITH SPEED SENSORS NEED REPLACED AT A COST OF 642.00. WE CAN'T HAVE THIS DONE NOW EITHER. WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO GET ALONG WITH THE BRAKE FAILURE LONG ENOUGH TO SAVE MONEY TO FIX. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY SEPT 11TH AT A COST OF 65.00 AND AN ALIGHMENT IN JUNE AT A COST OF 47.00 AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED IN JULY AT A COST OF 279.00. WE HAD THOUGHT OF TRADING OR SELLING OUTRIGHT AND GETTING ANOTHER TRUCK, BUT CAN'T SELL IT AS IT IS.

ABS SYSTEM HAS A CONTINUOUS BUZZING SOUND COMING FROM BENEATH THE TRUCK EVEN WHEN THE KEYS WERE TURNED OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. DURING EVALUATION OF A REPAIR, THE STEEL SCREWS THAT HOLD THE SYSTEM TOGETHER WERE SCREWED INTO AN ALUMINUM PLATE AND WERE SO RUSTY AND CORRODED THAT ONE OF THEM BROKE OFF WHEN THE REPAIRMAN ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE IT. ABS SYSTEM IS PLACED WHERE IT IS UNPROTECTED FROM MOISTURE AND ROAD CHEMICALS, SUCH AS SALT.

1. POWER WINDOW PASSENGER DOOR: OPERATES SLOWLY AND IF IT GETS TOO WARM WILL QUIT. AFTER 30 SECONDS WILL CONTINUE SLOWLY 2. OTHER - CD PLAYER: PLAYS TRACT 1 THEN SKIPS & EJECTS CD (LASER OUT OF LINE) 3. ABS SYSTEM HAS FAILED - AUTOMATIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE '99 SIVERADO. (THE LOCAL AUTO WRECKER WON'T EVEN SELL A USED ONE UNLESS THERE ARE LESS THAN 40000 KM. THIS SHOULD SAY SOMETHING!) I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL

WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED, IT DID NOT HOLD, DUE TO A FAILURE WITH THE PADS. *JB THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE. *NM

WHEN VEHICLE WAS FIRST STARTED THERE WAS SEVERE VIBRATION. WHEN VEHICLE WARMED UP VIBRATIONS DECREASED. STEERING GEAR BOX WOULD THEN CATCH AFTER MAKING A TURN. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT GEAR BOX NEEDED TO HAVE ITS OIL CHANGED. *AK

VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING UPON MAKING A LEFT TURN. RECALL 03V527000 WAS ISSUED ON THE STEERING GEAR BEARING, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN AND MODEL YEAR. *AK
