1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Vehicle speed control Problems

“I have had nothing but trouble with rotted rotors, pads that don't wear right, brake lines that rotted and rusted away that they needed to be all replaced in july of 2006. A six year old motor vehicle should not have to have all the lines replaced. The bill was $1,200. Next a ABS front wheel sensor recall was done at best chevy, hingham, mass. The ABS lights came on and off at their own pace. I had new front bearings installed, had my mechanic check for codes. Nothing. The brakes just never felt right sometimes. …”

“I was driving on my way home from work going 45mph when I saw a car a short distance ahead pull out onto the road. I tried to apply my brakes as the car ahead did not reach the speed limit fast enough. My brake pedal went straight down to the floor and all braking ability was lost. I lifted my foot to try to apply the pedal again and again the pedal went straight to the floor. I nearly crashed into the car ahead of me and had to swerve off of the road to avoid causing an accident. It was only after a long distance of riding on the shoulder and downshifting that I was able to come to a stop. …”

“Rear passenger door locks will not operate making it almost impossible to exit the vehicle quickly inthe event of an emergency. The steering is very sloppy at speeds above 30 MPH. At higher speeds the vehicle will wonder all over the road making it very hard to operate safely.”

“The accelerator pedal sticks and cannot be pushed down to accelerate the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer which cleaned and adjusted the throttle body. The dealer recommends that the throttle body receive regular maintenance every 30,000 miles. Please provide further details.”

“Throttle body sticking at low speeds throttle sticks until pedal is pushed beyond desired point causing vehicle to surge forward. I hit garage wall. Exact problem occurred at 30,000 miles, dealer replaced throttle body(bad bushings) under warranty.”
