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).

1999 chevrolet silverado which I purchased on 01-06-2001, with 25,587 miles on the odometer reading. Brake lights have quit working on 3 different occasions. Third light (cab stop light) works. Blinkers work,and back up lights work. All fuses are good. Replaced break light bulbs. First occasion, I was pulled over by the police advising me my brake lights were not working. The dealer(huffines chevrolet stated that a switch in the steering column had to be replaced. Vehicle was under warranty but I had to pay a $250 deductible. Second occasion I had to pay $280 and vehicle was out of warranty. Third occasion, it has been only six months since last repair was made. Repair has not been made of this date 11-13-03. Still trying to find what is causing the break lights to be defective for the reason that expenses for this same problem and for the third time is unsatisfactory.

The 4 wheel drive switch is going bad in my truck and I really never use the switch. Has there been a recall , will chevy take care of this problem? Also the pulley or compressor for the heating and air makes a noise when I use the air system in my truck. I own a 1999 chevy silverado z71, and I feel chevy should help me out and fix these problems. Also the fog lights have never worked on the truck and daniels would not fix them for me.
