1999 Chevrolet Silverado Problems

DRIVING ALONG ROAD, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO STOP. UPON INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THAT THE HYDRAULIC LINE GOING FROM THE ABS MODULE TO THE REAR BRAKES HAD RUPTURED DUE TO CORROSION. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT ALL OF THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES ARE SWOLLEN AND CORRODED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE AND MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $1200. MY TRUCK HAS NOT MOVED SINCE, AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE.

WHILE APPROACHING INTERSECTION PUT ON BRAKES AND THEY FAILED, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. IF I HAD NOT BEEN A TEST DRIVER FOR CHRYSLER CORP. AND DOING LOTS OF BRAKE AND SUSPENSION WORK I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. THE BRAKE LINES WERE SHOT, RUSTED THROUGH. THIS VEHICLE HAS SPENT IT'S LIFE IN FL. NO SALT ON THE ROAD. I KNOW YOU HAVE RULED ON THIS BEING A RECALL, BUT I THINK YOU MADE A HUGE MISTAKE, SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED BY THIS. THANKS

I WAS DRIVING TO MY HOME FROM WORK WHEN I NOTICED AN EXCESSIVE KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY LOOKED AT THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND AROUND BOTH TIRES. THAT'S WHEN I SAW THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT UPPER SHOCK MOUNT HAD BROKEN FREE FROM THE FRAME. THE SHOCK WAS JUST BANGING FREELY AGAINST THE FRAME. THE TRUCK IS 15 YEARS OLD SO I KNOW ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THAT'S JUST POOR CONSTRUCTION. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN MY DAILY DRIVER AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFFROAD. JUDGING FROM THE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FRAME CRACKING AND/OR BREAKING THAT I'VE READ, I'M ASSUMING GM ISN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S JUST SAD. REGARDLESS, I THINK NHTSA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE EXCESS BOUNCE CAN CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I OWN A 1999 SILVERADO EXT CAB 4X4 AND THE FRAME IS ROT IN MANY DIFFERENT PLACES THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER MID SECTIONS ARE HALF GONE AND NOW THE REAR SECTIONS UNDER THE BED ARE ROTTING TO THE POINT TO WHERE THE IS NO GOOD METAL LEFT THE BED BUCKLED AND IS HITTING THE CAB THE REST OF THIS VEHICLE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION BUT THE FRAME IS GONE. *TR

IMPOSSIBLE TO RELEASE SPARE TIRE. *TR

ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS BEEN STICKING SINCE THE FIRST YEAR VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT IN ORDER TO MOVE FROM A STOPPED POSITION ONE MUST KEEP ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID LURCHING FORWARD OR BACKWARD UNCONTROLLABLY. *TR

THROTTLE BODY STICKING ON 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO... I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED A STICKING THROTTLE BODY ON MY TRUCK WHEN IT WAS NEW. IT STUCK AT THE IDLE POSITION AND TOOK CONSIDERABLE EFFORT TO GET IT TO "UNSTICK". THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY CLAIMING THE ORIGINAL HAD A BUR, THAT CAUSED IT TO STICK. NOW, SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES LATER, THE NEW THROTTLE BODY IS EXHIBITING THE SAME BEHAVIOR. IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ONE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY, BUT ALL THROTTLE BODYS AT THE TIME HAD A DEFECT. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY TO REPLACE WHAT GM KNOWS IS DEFECTIVE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FURTHER....*NM

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN OHIO FOR MY WIFE [XXX], SHE REPORTED THAT THE ABS BRAKE WOULD SIMPLY NOT WORK ON ACCASION AND THE PEDAL WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR .WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER BUT HE COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM . AT LOWS SPEEDS I WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. DEALERS DOWN HERE SAY THE SENSOR IS BAD. WE PULLED THE FUSE TO DISABLE THE BRAKES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW BECAUSE A DELPHI ENGINEER TOLD ME THAT WOULD AT LEAST KEEP THE BRAKES WORKING . I HAVE 58000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND WE HAVE REPLACED THE CALIPERS THE ROTORS AND EVEN SOME OF THE BRAKE LINES HAVE RUSTED RUPTURING AND CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKES. THE POWER STEERING HOSE LINE RUSTED AT THE COOLER RADIATOR. . YESTERDAY THE CHEVY DEALER IN GAINSEVILLE CALLED ME TO THE SHOP TO SEE HOW THE FRAME IS BEING EATEN AWAY , I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE EITHER WASN'T PROBERLY PREPARED WHEN BUILT OR THE PROTECTIVE PAINTS AND COATING WERE DEFFECTIVE. THE RECORDS AT JIM DOUGLAS CHEVOLET EVIDENCE THE EXPENSES WE HAVE INCUURED TO KEEP THE TRUCK OPERATIONAL. THE ABS MODULE AND THE LOSS OF BREAK LINES SEEM TO RELFLECT EXTEMELY POOR METAL COOROSION RESISTANCE , EVEN BOTH MY TAILGATE CABLE RUSTED AND BROKE .EACH TIME I HAVE TAKEN IN TO THE CHEVY DEALER FOR REPAIR THEY ARE AMAZED AT THE CORROSION PROBLEMS. EVEN THE TIRE JACK IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WAS RUSTED AND IT WAS NEVER USED. THE SCREWS INSIDE THE CENTER CONSOLE WERE RUSTED. I SPENT BETWEEN 2500.00 AND 3000.00 IN JUST THE BRAKE PROBLEM AND THAT IS WITHOUT TRYING TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE SENSOR MODULE. I ASSURE ABSENT A FORCED RECALL I SUSPECT GM WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. GM CONUMER RELATIOS SUGGESTED I GET A RECALL NUMBER AND MAYBE THEY COULD BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THUS I AM SEND YOU MY COMPLAINT. SINCERELY [XXX] . OUR VIN IS [XXX] OUR MODEL IS CK15753 THE CAR WAS ASSEMBLED AT FORT WAYNE. JUNE 6,1999. NOTE I SELECTED 25 FAILURES AS AN ESTIMATED OF FAILED COMPONETS IN THE UNRECARRAGE INCLUDING THE BRAKES AND THE ABS MODULE. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA),

BRAKES: SINCE APPROXIMATELY 136,000 MILES TO PRESENT MILES, THE VEHICLE HAS EXHIBITED AN ABS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ON THE DASH. THIS IS A KNOWN GM ISSUE THAT WAS RECALLED IN CERTAIN STATES, BUT NOT ALL. IT STEMS FROM FAULTY SOLDERING POINTS IN THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND CAN AFFECT THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO STOP CORRECTLY WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. ENGINE/ EMISSIONS: THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT HAS BROKEN OFF. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS 5.3L ENGINE AS WELL AS THE 4.8L AND 6.0L ENGINES.

ENGINE: AS OF 164,000 MILES, THE ENGINE IS EXPERIENCING LOUD "PISTON SLAP". THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHICH GM ADDRESSED THROUGH REDESIGN IN LATER MODELS. IT LEADS TO EXCESSIVE ENGINE WEAR AND POTENTIAL ENGINE FAILURE. IT APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT, YET GM HAS CLAIMED IT IS NOT IMPORTANT DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS THAT THE ENGINES HAVE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AS A RESULT. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT FAILED (I GO BY MILEAGE TO KNOW IF I NEED FUEL OR NOT). DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKS UP WHEN YOU GO TO LOOK TO CHANGE LANES (DEALER COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM--SO IT'S NEVER BEEN FIXED). PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS UP IF YOU JUST LEAN FORWARD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW (WAS TOLD THIS WAS A MECHANISM FOR A BABY SEAT--DIDN'T THINK CAR SEATS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FRONT SEAT). RIGHT SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP BURNED OUT A LONG TIME AGO. ABS MODULE FAILED (HAD TO PULL THE FUSE SO THE PUMP WOULDN'T BURN UP) THEREFORE THE TRUCK NO LONGER HAS ABS. DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL HUB FAILED DUE TO LACK OF GREASE IN THE NON-CONSUMER MAINTAINABLE BEARING (THE WHOLE HUB HAD TO BE REPLACED). THE WATER PUMP HAS ALREADY FAILED (REPLACED THAT). THE TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO SLIP HERE & THERE. THE ACCELERATOR STICKS CAUSING YOU TO HAVE TO JAM ON IT IN PARKING LOTS & OTHER PLACES WHERE IT'S JUST NOT SAFE TO BE DARTING FORWARD. THIS MODEL YEAR WAS JUST A BAD YEAR FOR GM. THEY NEED TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE WORST GM VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED (AND I'VE BEEN A LOYAL GM CUSTOMER ALL MY DRIVING YEARS). *AK

RECALL # 05068 FOR MY 1999 CHEVROLET TRUCK WAS NOT DONE BY DEALER. *NM

THE ABS BRAKES WERE USED FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS PAST WINTER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. AFTER THEY CAME ON, THE PUMP NEVER SHUT OFF EVEN AFTER I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AT WORK. I HAD TO PULL THE ABS FUSE IN ORDER FOR THE HYDRAULIC PUMP TO SHUT DOWN. TWO CHEVROLET DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW COMPUTER COMPONENT (MODULE) AND PUMP THAT IS ONLY SOLD TOGETHER. THE COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR WILL BE OVER $1,000. AS OF NOW, THE ABS LIGHT AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON AND I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO FIX THIS.

THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH IS GOING BAD IN MY TRUCK AND I REALLY NEVER USE THE SWITCH. HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL , WILL CHEVY TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM? ALSO THE PULLEY OR COMPRESSOR FOR THE HEATING AND AIR MAKES A NOISE WHEN I USE THE AIR SYSTEM IN MY TRUCK. I OWN A 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO Z71, AND I FEEL CHEVY SHOULD HELP ME OUT AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS. ALSO THE FOG LIGHTS HAVE NEVER WORKED ON THE TRUCK AND DANIELS WOULD NOT FIX THEM FOR ME. *JB

A/C IS NOT COOLING SUFFICIENTLY. IT ONLY COOLS ON FULL COOL WITH RE-CIRCULATION AND FAN ON HIGH. EVEN THEN, AIR COMING DIRECTLY FROM CENTER VENT DOES NOT GET BELOW 48 DEGREES. I TESTED TWO OTHER VEHICLES AND BOTH BLEW 40 AND 42 DEGREES FROM CENTER VENT. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM, BUT STATED THERE WAS NO FIX. DRIVER-SIDE OUTSIDE MIRROR VIBRATES. DEALER REPLACED TWICE AND BOTH MANUFACURER AND DEALER REFUSE TO REPLACE AGAIN. WEATHER STRIPPING ALONG OUSIDE BOTTOM OF BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS IS DEFECTIVE. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER BOTH REFUSED TO CORRECT PROBLEM BECAUSE OTHER STOCK UNITS LOOK THE SAME.
