1999 Chevrolet C/K Pickups Problems

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A LIGHT. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO GO THROUGH THE LIGHT INTO A WALL. IT WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE ROTTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JS

BRAKE LINE FAILED ON 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO 4WD PICK UP. CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF A UPS FREIGHT TRUCK AT STOP LIGHT. I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL APP. 50 YARDS TO TRY TO STOP MY TRUCK THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR I WAS HELPLESS CARS ON ONE SIDE TELEPHONE POLES ON THE OTHER LUCKILY PUT TRUCK IN 2ND GEAR TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN SOME THEN CRASH ED HARD INTO THE BACK OF FREIGHT TRUCK. LUCKILY NOT KILLED. BRAKE FLUID WAS FLOWING OUT OF RUSTED BRAKE LINES UNDER DRIVERS SIDE SEAT UNDER FRAME. TRUCK IS POSSIBLY A TOTAL LOSS. GM HAD ME TOW AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO VERIFY THE BROKEN TUBING BREAK LINE,HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK AT THE BRAKE LINES AND SAID IT DEFINITELY RUPTURED AND WE TOOK PICTURES OF RUSTED BRAKE LINES AS EVIDENCE. GM INVESTIGATOR ASKED ME IF I WAS INJURED AND WHAT I WANTED FROM THEM. I RESPONDED TO BE MADE WHOLE FOR ALL THE BILLS AND DAMAGES FROM THE ACCIDENT FROM THEIR RUSTED AND FAULTY BRAKE EQUIPMENT. *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE SNAPPING OFF ONE BY ONE. THIS IS CAUSING EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE CAB OF THE TRUCK MAKING THE DRIVER SLEEPY OR SICK FROM THE FUMES. AFTER TALKING TO G.M MECHANICS A LOT OF THE CHEVY 3/4 TON WITH 6.0 MOTORS ARE DOING THIS. THIS IS A BAD SAFETY ISSUE. G.M DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM. *JB

REAR BOLT ON EXHAUST HEADS BROKE CAUSING LEAKS ON BOTH EXHAUST HEADS ON 6 LITER ENGINE

THIS WILL BE THE 4TH FUEL INJECTOR PUMP INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE. TWICE IT QUIT WHILE TRAVELING MORE THAN 50 MPH ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS. THIS CAUSES ALL LOST OF POWER TO THE STEERING AND BRAKING. THE COMPANY HAS REPLACED IT FREE UNTIL NOW. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED ALL 3 TIMES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE PUMPS THAT THE COMPANY WILL NOT TALK ABOUT. *TR

FUEL PUMP IN FUEL TANK. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS 16 YEARS OLD. IT CURRENTLY HAS 201,352 MILES. THE BODY IS STARTING TO RUST OVER THE REAR TIRE AND THE FRAME IS REALLY RUSTED. DRIVER POWER WINDOW SWITCH WENT OUT AND ROLLED ITSELF DOWN AND CANT GET IT TO GO UP AT ALL. REALLY LOVE THE TRUCK BUT GM COULD HAVE BUILT IT TO LAST LONGER..MY 1974 GMC IS IN BETTER SHAPE THAN THIS TRUCK IS AND ITS NEARING 40 YEARS OLD.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO I FILED A COMPLAINT ON MY 1999 CHEVROLET C-1500 PICKUP WITH THE SAME BODY STYLE AS 1998. AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OCCURRED IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WHILE PARKED AT WORK, CONSISTENT WITH NHTSA 03V093000. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON A US NAVY BASE AND THE NAVY FIRE CHIEF INVESTIGATED THE FIRE. HIS REPORT RULED THE FIRES ORIGIN ELECTRICAL IN THE DRIVERS DOOR. IT'S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS AND I'M NOT SURE OF THE DATE, BUT I CAN CHECK WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY WHO PAID A $10,000 CLAIM. NHTSA 03V093000 SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 1999 MODELS OF THE "OLD" BODY STYLE. I'M WONDERING WHY MY COMPLAINT IS NO LONGER IN YOUR DATABASE. PLEASE FEE FREE TO CONTACT ME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS NEEDED. *NLM

I HAVE A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB TRUCK. YESTERDAY, THE BOLTS HOLDING THE STEERING GEAR TO THE FRAME ATTACHMENT BROKE AND I LOST ALL STEERING CONTROL. I WAS LUCKILY PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND NOT DRIVING ON A ROAD, AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I LOOKED ON YOUR WEB SITE UNDER RECALLS, AND I SEE REFERENCE TO NHTSA RECALL NO 98V242/GM RECALL NO. 98062 THAT DESCRIBES WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK EXACTLY. HOWEVER, UPON CHECKING WITH GM, THEY DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON MY VIN NUMBER. IT DID NOT APPLY TO MY TRUCK THEY SAY. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THEY MAY HAVE MORE TRUCKS INVOLVED WITH THE POTENTIALLY SEVERE PROBLEM THAN THEY HAVE ISSUED RECALLS FOR. I THINK THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE FURTHER AND THEY SHOULD ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS VERY STRANGE THAT WHAT YOU DESCRIBE IN THE RECALL IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. THIS IS VERY SCARY. THE DEALER HAS TALKED TO GM AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY TO FIX IT. THE DEALER HAS ORDERED NEW BOLTS TO BE PUT IN. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. *JB

WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR TOWARD INTERSECTION. APPLIED BRAKES BUT ODDLY PEDAL SEEMED TO GO TO FLOOR WITH ZERO BRAKING ACTION. SUBSEQUENTLY, MY VEHICLE ENTERED INTERSECTION DURING RED LIGHT. WAS STRUCK ON DRIVERS SIDE BY 18-WHEELER CROSSING INTERSECTION AND THEN MY VEHICLE'S FORWARD MOMENTUM CAUSED A FRONTAL IMPACT TO 18-WHEELER CROSSING INTERSECTION FROM THE PASSENGERS SIDE. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. MY WIFE SUSTAINED A FRACTURED RIB, BRUISED STERUM AND CERVICAL SPINE DISLOCATION. MY TWO CHILDREN AGES 6 AND 9 SUSTAINED CUTS TO THE HEAD FROM FLYING GLASS REQUIRING STITCHES AND GLUE. I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE GENERAL MOTORS INSPECT THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THEY WERE UN- WILLING TO PAY A $500.00 FEE FOR WRECKING YARD TO MOVE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION. BRAKES AND AIR BAG FAILURE !!!! BOTH PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED BY OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS. *JB
