“6 way power seat track has developed approximately 1 inch of free play noticeable when braking or accelerating. When I go to the internet to research the safety problem, I note that others have experienced the same problem. I feel that this should be brought to your attention.”
NHTSA complaint #10377218, filed 2011-01, 30,000 miles“While approaching a red light at 28mph and pressing the brake, the pedal went completely to the floor and the vehicle did not slow down. I pumped the pedal repeatedly and only slight braking action could be achieved. I went through the intersection just narrowly missing two crossing cars and turned onto a nearby side street. After finally getting the vehicle to stop, I got out and saw a puddle of brake fluid forming a few feet behind the driver side front wheel. Further inspection found all break lines severely rusted and a brake line had ruptured just above the frame rail. …”
NHTSA complaint #10567186, filed 2014-02, 107,345 miles“1. Power window passenger door: operates slowly and if it gets too warm will quit. After 30 seconds will continue slowly 2. Other - cd player: plays tract 1 then skips & ejects cd (laser out of line) 3. Abs system has failed - automatic brake control module has to be replaced. This is a common problem for the '99 siverado. (the local auto wrecker won't even sell a used one unless there are less than 40000 km. This should say something!) I feel this should be a recall”
NHTSA complaint #10071295, filed 2004-01, 106,300 miles“Consumer 1999 Silverado arm rest does not lock into place. After the seat belt recall was performed, the consumer discovered the problem with the arm rest, which was not a problem previously.”
NHTSA complaint #10158402, filed 2006-05“Vehicle came equipped with a governor, restricting vehicle not to go over 97 MPH ,top speed. If it did vehicle would shut down/quit, causing a safety hazard when trying to bypass a vehicle. Owner wants governor to be disconnected by GM.”
