Throttle linkage has shown increasing pedal effort to move accelerator from the idle position. Was advised by dealer that throttle body should be cleaned, however service manual indicates throttle body should not need cleaning except for high mileage engines. A later service bulletin indicates throttle body replacement is warranted (#00-06-04-007b). Although condition began prior to expiration of warranty, dealer will not repair vehicle (mileage >36000). Since new, have also had to have both power window drive motors and regulators replaced (one under warranty and another after warranty expiration).

I was driving at about 30mph,aloud humming noise started,and my ABS light came on.I turned off the ignition,but the noise continued.I found the humming noise coming from under the truck,on the drivers side,under door area.there is a black"box" with 2 electrical plugs.it was necessary to pull one of the plugs to get the humming to stop.but now my ABS light and my brake lights are on all the time on dash.took the truck to original dealership,and was told that the ABS pump and module both went bad.I was told that the cost to repairs would be $1685.66.I just can't believe that both parts went bad.the truck is only 2 years old.now I am driving with my truck in this condition,because I don't have enough available cash on hand to have the repairs done.(2) both drivers side and passenger side windows rattle when they are down.it doesn't matter how far down the windows are.I'm waiting for them to break.it sounds as if they are ready to fall off the track.this has been a problem since I purchased the truck.I told the dealer about it ,but nothing was ever done to correct the problem.(3)also,on the front passenger door,there is an air leak when I am driving,again told dealer,and nothing was done.(4)on the third door on right side,rear,water leaks in around glass.took it back to dealer,& was told they couldn't find the reason for the water leak.still continues to leak,when it rains or I wash the truck.another problem I have is with the truck hydroplaneing in the rain.this has also been going on since I purchased truck new in feb.1999.lost total control on one occasion.truck went completely sideways on roadway.I was traveling at about 50mph.,in a 60mph zone.I was in traffic at the time,the other vehicles around me realzed the situation,and backed off giving me room.when I finally regained control,I pulled off of the highway.I was very badly shaken from the experience*ak (tiresize: p265-75r16)( dot number: tire size: p265-75r16 )

The components on this truck ranging from the engine and drivetrain, windows, streering gear and shafts, e-brake lines, fuel pedal linkage and now the fuel gae itself has been a constant source of problems for me since the turch wes only a few months old ( 8,000 miles). Chevrolet has admitted that they knwon of most of the major problems but has indicated that they are "working on a fix". Yet I have to contiune to drive the vehicle. I need some help.onsta
Initial air leak occurred approximately 1 month after delivery, the window was replaced, and has been replaced 5 other times including next service appointment, in sept. Or oct. Of this year a thumping sensation was felt through the steering wheel, after one attempt to service, dealer was unable to reproduce problem, I requested appointment with service advisor in which problem was noticed. I was told it was a lower control arm bushing and that was occurring with the 99 silverado frequently. With that said the service advisor at parks chevrolet in beaufort, sc 843‑525‑4100 stated that both the window would be repaired at the same time the front was repaired; he would order the parts; I have received no calls from the dealer.
The following have all been replaced: 5.3 l engine, catalytic converter, four oxygen sensors, 1 starter sensor, 1 crank sensor, 1 window regulator, rear air-vent assembly, 1 shaft in the front suspension, 1 headlight bracket, 1 knock sensor, 4wd switch, 1 clamp for rear window. Vehicle is 15 months old and has 32 days of in-shop service. Service engine light has come on 4 times in 14 days. On 12/4, vehicle stalled when attempting to accelerate. Engine had a spare part left in at manufacturing and was destroyed from the part flying around inside. Abs has engaged too soon in the past and vehicle could not be stopped.
Gas pedal sticks if foot is removed for any reason, be it coasting into a turn, starting out from a stop. Speed of vehicle does not matter. When the foot pedal engages there is sudden excelleration, cause passengers head to wipe forward. On icy conditions this has become a danger in itself. At the gas station inching up to pump it has locked up and lunged forward almosting hitting a vehicle in front. I have notifed the dealership. I have also spoke to three other people who have this same, year, make and model and all say they have the same problem. Two of them have had repairs done on the gas pedal. Window on driver side (electric) was being rolled up half way up window cable broke and window slammed down inside door. Both passenger and drivers doors seem loose when rolled down as you can hear them rattleing inside. Controls are intermittent and when temperature drops below 30 degrees don't work. Passengers window 11/17/2000 wont not go up or down during temperature below 30. Vehicle was not subhect to elemints as it was inside for repair to driver window. New motor and regulator need after 1 1/2 years. Dealer informed no information.
Rain water is leaking in to cab of truck, causing a mildew smell, and carpet to get wet. Defect possibly due to a cracked frame around rear sliding window. Dealer has replaced window 3 times, but defect still occurs. Please provide further information.

Passenger window makes a loud noise when you roll it down, stain on cab of truck, scratch's on mirrors and on paint under drivers doors. Over spray on paint and on windows.
Rear swing-out windows on extended cap do not seal causing excessive and annoying wind noise at moderate speeds. Dealer replaced window latches. Problem still exists. I'm on a first name basis with the mechanics who work on this truck every other week. This is absolutely the worst vehicle I have ever owned and I will never purchase another gm product!

Vibrations, comp reprogrammed 2 or 3 times now mileage decreased, clunks from rear end and on left turns, padding in seat failed, rear slider frame cracked and leaks.
