#713853October 25, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHILE NORMALLY STOPPING SILVERADO TRUCK, THE BRAKE FOOT PAD KICKS BACK AGAINST DRIVERS FOOT AND UNABLE TO BRING TRUCK TO A STOP. THIS LAST ABOUT 2 TO 4 SECONDS AND BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND STOPS THE TRUCK. SOMETIMES THE ABS & PARKING BRAKE INDICATORS BECOME CONSTANTLY LIT. TIPTON MOTORS IN HOLLISTER HAVE REPLACED AT LEAST (1) FRONT ROTTER AND THE TRUCK IS BACK INTO DEALER TODAY 10/25/1999. I HAVE ALSO OPENED A CASE WITH CHEVROLET, FILE # 990554386 AND I MAY PERSUE THE CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS IS MY WIFE'S PRIMARY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND THIS IS THE (3RD) TIME INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. IT IS VERY STRESSFUL NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP NORMALLY. I AM REQUESTING THE GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE, THIS IS A BAD SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME, I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ALSO.

SUSPENSION
THIS IS CONCERNING AND VERY AGGRAVATING AS IT HAS (2) TIMES CAUSED ME TO SLOW DOWN TO 50 VERY QUICKLY BY HITTING THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VIBRATIONS AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKE. THOUGHT I WOULD LOOSE CONTROL. IT ACTUALLY MAKES YOU HAVE AN UPSET STOMACH WITH THE CONSTANT VIBRATIONS.

#712994October 8, 1999
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
I WENT TO EXIT MY VEHICLE, IN PARK, WHEN I BUMPED THE #2 MEMORY SEAT SETTING ON DOOR. THE SEAT WENT ALL THE WAY FORWARD. I WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AT GETTING IT TO STOP OR GO IN REVERSE WHILE IT WAS MOVING FORWARD. IT WAS HARD TO GET OUT OF THE SEAT. MY RIBS WERE SORE FOR 1 DAY. THE SEAT WAS NEVER PROGRAMMED BEFORE THIS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DANGEROUS FACTORY SETTING. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY WERE USELESS.

#712560September 30, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
CHEVROLET HAS DENIED THAT THEIR 99 AND 00 CHEVROLET SILVERADOS DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIER NEW ENGINES. I KNOW OF NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHICH CHEVROLET ACKNOWLEDGES AS A NORMAL SOUND. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE TRUCK CAN NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THE NEW ONES MAKE THE SAME NOISE. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER COMPRIABLE TRUCKS AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE ENGINE PING/KNOCK. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THE NOISE WILL EVENTUALLY GO AWAY, BUT I HAVE SEEN TRUCKS WITH 19000 WITH THE NOISE CONTINUING. THIS PROBLEM COULD INCREASE EMMISIONS IF IT IS INDEED A PING/KNOCK. IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS WITH NO FIX FROM CHEVROLET, I COULD HAVE ENGINGE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE PING/KNOCK THAT WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
