VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS AT REST AND HAS TO BE PUSHED VERY HARD TO BREAK IT LOOSE; THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED MY DEALER TO SEE IF A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED ON THIS AND WAS TOLD NO. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THIS PROBLEM (THE DEALER DIDN'T TELL ME THIS) AND I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL RATHER THAN A BULLETIN.*AK

PARKING BRAKE
CONSUMER STATES WHEN STOPPING AND ACTIVATING THE PARK BRAKE, WITH ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD COAST AN INCH OR TWO AND A CLICK COULD BE HEARD AS THE TRANSMISSION POSITIVE LOCK ENGAGED. WITH VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND THE FOOT BRAKE RELEASED, THE PARK BRAKE HAS NO BRAKING EFFECT, ALSO THE PARKING BRAKE FOOT LEVER GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS THE DESIGN OF THE PARKING BRAKE AND THERE IS A SELF ADJUSTING FEATURE. *TT

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ANTILOCK BRAKE CONTROLLER FAILED. I TALKED TO THE DEALER HERE IN TUPELO, AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT UNLESS I PAID. I CHECKED ON THE COST AND THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND 950.00 BUT WOULD BE ABOUT A MONTH BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF THE UNITS THAT WOULD FIT MY TRUCK AND THEY WERE KEEPING THEM ON HAND FOR WARRANTY CALLS. I ASKED THEM WHY THE LONG DELAY AND THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING OUT QUITE OFTEN. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO INQUIRE AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ANTILOCK SYSTEMS ON MY YEAR OF TRUCK. THAT DID NOT SEEM TO BE THE SAME INFORMATION I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER, SO I CALLED 7 MORE DEALERS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA AND TALKED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS SAY THAT I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY ANTILOCK BRAKES AND THEY SAID "OH IS THE PUMP RUNNING ALL THE TIME?" THEY SAID THAT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THEM ALL THE TIME. I THEN THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SEE IF I COULD LOCATE A USED ONE IN A SALVAGE YARD AND REPLACE THE CONTROLLER MY SELF... I CALLED NUMEROUS SALVAGE YARDS AND FOUND QUITE A FEW OF 1999 SILVERADO'S BUT ALL OF THEM HAD ALREADY HAD THE CONTROLLER REMOVED. I THEN CALLED GM BACK AND TOLD THEM OF WHAT I HAD FOUND OUT, THEY WERE VERY NICE BUT IN EFFECT TOLD ME "TOUGH" SO I THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE TO YOU AND FILE MY COMPLAINT AND SEE IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY OTHERS.*AK
