Example complaints
Brakes: “I have a 1999 Chevrolet 1500 silverado pick-up. There is a serious problem with the ABS system at slow speeds. (below 20 MPH) the braking system automatically goes into ABS mode when stopping at a slow speed and no amount of pedal pressure will stop it. Gm dealers acknowledge the problem, but want to replace the system at a huge cost to the consumer. It sure seems like a design flaw to me, as well as a safety issue. This p/u has 74,000 miles on it, and should not be having problems with it's brakes. Thanks.”
NHTSA complaint #10033442, filed 2003-08, 70,000 milesTires: “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.”
NHTSA complaint #898579, filed 2001-10Engine cooling: “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....”
