NHTSA Complaint #10086771 — 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO

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
