1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Problems

THE PARKING BRAKE HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY SINCE NEW. YOUR PARTIAL RECALL FIX FOR STANDARD TRANSMISSIONS ONLY IS INADEQUATE. MAKE ME WONDER ABOUT UNDUE GM INFLUENCE. JUST BECAUSE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TRUCKS HAVE PARK. THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR GM NOT TO FIX THE PARKING BRAKE.

ABS ENGAGING LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR. NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL OF 805,000, AS NOT IN A RUST BELT STATE.

BROKEN OR MISSING EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS CAUSING EXHAUST LEAKS. POTENTIAL FOR CARBON MONOXIDE LEAKS INTO THE DRIVING COMPARTMENT. UPON RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. WITH GM ENGINES FROM 1999 TO AROUND 2007. JUST FOUND THIS PROBLEM ON MY 1999 SILVERADO ON 5/20/16. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE DAY ONE AND HAVE AN EXCELLENT SERVICE RECORD AT A WELL KNOW DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED.

THIS TRUCK HAS HAD AN EXHAUST TIC FOR MANY YEARS. I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A LIFTER NOISE WHEN IN ALL REALITY WHILE CHANGING SPARK PLUG AND WIRES ABOUT 2 MONTHS BACK I FOUND THE BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE WEB I FOUND THIS IS AN ISSUE ON 80% OF THESE GM TRUCKS. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING WHILE OPERATING THESE VEHICLES AND THE EMISSION PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,348.

SEVERAL OF MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT HEADS BROKE OFF EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED CAUSING HOT EXHAUST TO LEAK OUT IGNITING SOME ELECTRICAL WIRING. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM V8'S. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO 2400 RPMS. THE CONTACT HAS TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING FORWARD. THE CONTACT HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 20 TIMES IN THE LAST SIX MONTH REGARDING THE RACING RPMS. THE DEALER HAS CHANGED THE MAIN COMPUTER TWICE ALONG WITH THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SWITCH, THE IDLE AIR FLOW SENSOR AND THE MANIFOLD INTAKE GASKET. NONE OF THESE REPAIRS HAS REMEDIED THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT FEELS THIS VEHICLE IS NON-DRIVABLE AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL REGARDING THE RACING RPMS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONSTANT SINCE I HAVE FIRST OWNED MY TRUCK. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I AM AT A STOP (I.E. INTERSECTION) THE TRUCK WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE FORWARD TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NUETRAL, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPT. AND RECEIVED 3 DIFFERENT ANSWERS WITH ONE TELLING ME THAT CHEVY IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY YET. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I AM LOOKING FOR SOME DIRECTION ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHEN THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED. HE WAS ALMOST INJURED.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS OUTLINED IN THE RECALLS/SERVICE BULLETINS: NHTSA0 6V066000, AND NHTSA 05V379000. MY VEHICLE IS A 1999 CHEVY K2500 THAT ISN'T LISTED IN THE RECALL LIST. THE SPEED SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS 1-4 TIMES PER YEAR (USUALLY FROM DEC THROUGH MAR). THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ON SUBSEQUENT FAILURES DID THE REPAIR MYSELF. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE TAILGATE CABLES MORE THAN ONCE, AND CURRENTLY HAVE A BROKEN ONE AGAIN. *TR

THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH BOTH TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES. *BF *SC *JB

1999 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 EXT CAB LONG BOX 2WD PICKUP WITH 155,000 KLM HAD TWO BRAKE LINES EXPLODE UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES. TRUCK WAS PULLING A FULL LOAD AT THE TIME AND AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN MAJOR. LUCKILY THE TRAILER BEING TOWED HAD ELECTRIC BRAKES ON IT. INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE LINES SHOWS THEM ALL VERY RUSTY. SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING. I DRIVE AN OLDER ASTRO VAN AND THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. GM SHOULD BE REPLACING ALL THE BRAKE LINES. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT ADJUSTMENT LATCH HAS FALIED SO THE SEAT SLIDES BACK AND FORTH CAUSING A DANGEROUS CONDITION. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A KNOWLEDGABLE SOURCE THAT THIS IS A COMMON, KNOWN PROBLEM TO CHEVY. REPAIR IS EXPENSIVE $600-900 WHICH THEY PASS ON TO CUSTOMER. DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE TO CORRECT. *TR

DT: CONCERNS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BEAT. WHERE THE LATCH COMES UP THROUGH THE SEAT THERE ARE 2 STEEL CABLES THAT CONNECT THE SEAT BELT TO THE FRAME. ONE OF THE CABLES HAS BROKEN AND THE OTHER IS WEARING. ON THE PORTION OF THE SEAT THAT COMES ACROSS THE BODY THERE IS A PLASTIC THE SHIELD FRAYING 1/4 WAY THROUGH OF THE NYLON SEAT BELT. THE SEAT WAS HANGING, THE CONSUMER LOOKED TO SEE WHY AND SAW ALL THE DAMAGE. *TT

AFTER REPLACING ORGINAL DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT THE REPLACED SEAT BELT FAILED ON 9-6-00, THE LOCAL CHEVY GARAGE HAS ORDERED A NEW REPLACEMENT, BOTH SEATBELTS HAVE LOCKED UP INTO THE SEAT.
