1999 Chevrolet Silverado: transmission slipping

Filed May 3, 2005 · Brakes · 81,500 miles · NY

1. I began to notice that as I applied my brakes to come to stops at stop signs or destination arrivals that the anti-lock brakes would deploy. 2. The anti-lock brakes would activate when coming to a stop when they should not have (the wheels were not slipping). Although I never actually hit anything, I did come close several times. 3. I took the truck to my local chevy dealer and they fixed the problem. The charge was $90.93 for labor. I still have the receipt.

The transmission was serviced more than four times while under warranty for the vehicle revving and sticking in gear. The vehicle has been maintained as it should have been. The manufacture offered no help. *jb the engine had come on, the fuel gauge did not read correctly, transmission slipped, the c control would not engage and a green and white wire at the pin circuit was loose, and the sensor in the washer jug was bad.

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).

I have had problems with my transmission intermittently slipping when starting to accelrate from a stopped position. This occurs on an infrequest basis and has been happening since I bought the truck. Gm has replaced the transmission and the problem still happens. I went back to the dealer who refused to do anything because they could not reproduce the problem. I then contacted gm's corporate office and I was asked to bring my truck in again for them to replace the kickdown cable. The problem still persists today.
