1999 Chevrolet Chevrolet Truck Problems

WAS DRIVING TO STORE THE FIRST TIME AND READY TO STOP AT RED LIGHT AND THE BAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO FLOOR,MADE IT HOME AND SAW FLUID LEAKING FROM A RUPTURED LINE.(REPLACED AND HAD THE REST LOOKED OVER). SECOND TIME A YEAR LATER DEC. 23 ON TURNPIKE , I HAD TO STOP QUICKLY AND ANOTHER BRAKE LINE FAILED ,TAKING IT IN THIS WEEK TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. ALL BECAUSE OF RUSTED AND CORRODED LINES. *KB

MY 1999 CHEVROLET TAHOE (2DR, 4X4) HAD AN ABS SENSOR FAILURE DUE TO DEBRIS BUILDUP WHICH CASED THE ABS TO INDICATE A FALSE WHEEL LOCK AT LOW SPEEDS ON DRY PAVEMENT. THIS FAILURE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FAILURES THAT PROMPTED THE CANADIAN RECALL OF GM SUVS HAVING THIS ABS CONFIGURATION. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY, AND CLEAN ALL OF THE ABS SENSORS IN ORDER TO STOP THE FALSE TRIGGERING OF THE ABS SYSTEM. *NM

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEWOUT, RESULTING IN MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF TRUCK.*AK (GOODRICH TRAIL EDGE-LT215/85R16 M+S DOT BFOP C01498 TIRE INFLATION HAD BEEN CHECKED ON MAY 19,2002 AT 65PSI) *SCC

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH IN A 1999, CHEVROLET Z71 TRUCK LEFT REAR FIRESTONE TIRE, SIZE: P265/75R16, DOT: W273WMB189 EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT. THERE WERE 12,000 MILES ON TIRE, AND IT WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. BLOWOUT WAS APPROXIMATLEY 1 1/2 INCHES IN LENGTH, AND WAS IN CENTER OF THE TREAD. *AK *JB

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP, WHEN CONSUMER MADE A LEFT TURN.*JB

FAN BELT BROKE, RESULTING IN LOSE OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. POWER STEERING PUMP SHAFT BROKE, CAUSED POWER BRAKES TO FAIL

INTAKE MANIFOLD IS LEAKING ON 5.7 VORTEC. I KNOW OF 2 OTHER TRUCKS THAT THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON AS WELL AS THE DEALER IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. IT IS ALSO WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE WEB. IF YOU HAVE A 5.7 LITER MOTOR IT IS NOT IF IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BUT WHEN. WHY DO I HAVE 100,000 COOLANT WHEN THE GASKETS ONLY LAST 74,000? INTAKE MANIFOLD WATER LEAK.... *LA

THE MACHANIC SAID THE CANISTER PLUGGED BY DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROADS AND THAT THE NEW CANISTER IS REDESIGNED. MY QUESTION IS-- SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACING A $160 CANISTER AND HOSE WHICH MAY NOT HAVE BEEN DESIGNED QUIT RIGHT. REPLACING A AIR FILTER FOR $10 TO $20 DOES NOT BOTHER ME, BUT WHEN YOUR TOLD A CANISTER IN A PICKUPS FUEL SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACING, BECAUSE OF GRAVEL ROAD USE --------THAT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT!!!!!!

WHEN ENTERING THE X-CAB USING EASY ENTRY - A PLASTIC PIECE BROKE THAT CAUSED THE SEAT NOT TO LOCK IN PLACE - BUT TO SLIDE BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING. *AK

SEATS IN VEHICLE HAVE VERY HIGH SEATS WHICH ORCE DRIVER TO SIT OUT OF BALANCE AND CREATE REAR AND RIGHT SIDE BLIND SPOTS. NLM

CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH THE CONSUMER HAD A VEHICLE ACCIDENT HEAD ON WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. CONSUMER STATES THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED NOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

DURING A RAIN STORM ON 4/2/05, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN MID-STREAM. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD RATHER SUDDENLY, NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED NOR CRASHES, HOWEVER IWAS VERY SHAKEN BY IT ALL. I ACTUALLY SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE RAIN TURNED INTO A DRIZZLE. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD A PULSE CONTROL MODULE WAS NEEDED, THE PART WAS REPLACE FOR $239.98.*AK

TRAIL BLAZER MODEL; THIS TRUCK HAS CARBON BUILD UP ON THROTTLE BODY WHICH MAKES DRIVER PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH FORCE. *AK CONSUMER CAN NOT USE THE GAS PEDAL GENTLY TO MOVE SLOWLY. *JG

AT ALL SPEEDS TRUCK WILL START TO SLOW DOWN THEN ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WILL COME ALMOST TO A STOP AND THEN SUDDENLY SPEED UP. IT IS AS IF BOTH THE BRAKE AND THROTTLE WERE BEING DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME, EXCEPT THE VEHICLE SLOWS WITHOUT HESITATION THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATES. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS NEAR MISSES, THE VEHICLE WILL START TO DECCELERATE SMOOTHLY THEN THERE IS A SLIGHT RISE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL (LIKE BACKPRESSURE) THEN AN ACCELERATION, OR RELEASE OF THE BREAKS. I AM REPORTING AS FAILED COMPONENTS BOTH THE BRAKING SYSTEMS AND THE THROTTLE CONTROLS/ COMPUTER AS THEY ALL SEEM TO BE INTERCONNECTED. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY DEALER THREE TIMES, THEN GAVE UP. THEY SAY THERE ARE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS AND NO SERVICE BULLTENS OUT.

ON THREE OCCASIONS AFTER THE TRAILER LOCKED ONTO THE KINGPIN OF THE CONSUMERS FIFTH-WHEEL TRAILER, THE TRAILER SEPARATED FROM THE HITCH CAUSING THE TRAILER TO FALL ON THE TRUCKS RAILS AND RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO BOTH THE TRUCK AND THE TRAILER. NLM

ALIGNED AND ROTATE TIRE, EVEN TRIED 12 DIFFERENT TIRES, VIBRATION STILL EXIST
