FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE WORKS OFF AND ON MOSTLY OFF. I PURCHASED TRUCK IN SPRING OF 2002 AND PROBLEM STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE , SO I AM GUESSING THAT THE DEALER KNEW OF THE PROBLEM JUST GOT LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T NOTICE TILL AFTER THE DEAL WAS DONE . HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH CHEVROLET TRUCKS ALL YEARS WITHIN 1999 THROUGH 2004 AND ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AND I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL DEALERS AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST UPWARDS OF 600 HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR. SOUNDS TO ME AS THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM AND IT ISN'T THE CAR OWNER'S THAT ARE AT FAULT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I BOUGHT MY 1999 CHECY SILVERADO NEW. THE BRAKES WERE NEVER AS GOOD AS THE VEHICLE I HAD TRADED IN OR IN FACT DROVE AT WORK FOR MY EMPLOYER. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, MCKEE AUTO SEVERAL TIMES. THE SERVICE ADVISORS WOULD NOT LOG MY COMPLAINT OR ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RUN SEVERAL STOPLIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE LOUSY BRAKES, LUCKILY THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS. LAST OCTOBER THE REAR BRAKES WENT OUT ON THIS VEHICLE. I REPLACED THE REAR PADS AND ROTORS WHILE THE FRONT BRAKES LOOK THE SAME AS NEW. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE MAYBE THEY AREN'T HARDLY BEING USED. I THOUGHT THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN A RECALL FOR EARLY MODELS OF THIS VEHICLE, BUT WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. *NM

I HAVE A 1999 CHEVY SILVERADO, WALKED OUT STARTED TRUCK AND THE ABS MODULE FAILED AND RAN CONSTANTLY AS WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER CHEVY TRUCK OWNER HAVE DONE AS WELL, THIS IS A SHAME. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THEIR MISTAKES AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION NOW HAVING ABS IN A SNOWBOUND STATE, ALSO WHAT IF THIS MODULE FAILED GOING DOWN THE ROAD IN A BRAKING SITUATION WHEN IT WAS NEEDED? THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A LOT OF COLLISIONS. THIS IS A FAULTY PART PUT ONTO HE TRUCKS BY GM TO TRY AND SAVE MONEY, SEEMS FUNNY THAT THE ABS MODULES PRIOR TO THE 1999 MODELS HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THEM WHAT SO EVER. COME ON GM STEP UP TO YOUR MISTAKES. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND DID NOT GO OFF. WHEN I TURNED OFF VEHICLE AT TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, THERE WAS SOMETHING "STILL RUNNING". I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO ADVISED SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED OR BATTERY WOULD RUN DOWN AND THERE WAS A LIKELY POSSIBILTY OF AN ACCIDENT OCCURING AS BRAKES WOULD NOT BE OPERATING PROPERLY. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAD 40,000 MILES ON IT AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED. THIS WAS A MAJOR EXPENSE ($1078.35) PLUS A CAR RENTAL WAS REQUIRED AS THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *NM
