1999 Chevrolet Silverado visibility complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 45 of 45, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vibration in drivetrain at speeds less than 45mph. Engine only runs 1,000-1,100 RPM's at speeds less than 45mph. Transmission shifts into 3rd at approx. 20mph and 4th at approx. 30mph. Engine feels like it is struggling at speeds less than 50mph. Two different dealerships stated there was a problem, but said that everything was electronic and nothing could be adjusted. A/c is not cooling sufficiently. It only cools on full cool with re-circulation and fan on high. Even then, air coming directly from center vent does not get below 48 degrees. I tested two other vehicles and both blew 40 and 42 degrees from center vent. Two different dealerships admitted there was a problem, but stated there was no fix. Driver-side outside mirror vibrates. Dealer replaced twice and both manufacurer and dealer refuse to replace again. Weather stripping along ouside bottom of both driver and passenger windows is defective. Dealer and manufacturer both refused to correct problem because other stock units look the same.
There is no rearview on the right side of the vehicle, making it impossible to see what's behind the vehicle when switching lanes to the right. Dealer can't do anything.
The left rear wing glass/extended cab lew out -window was closed /did not strike anything, but went across the opposite lane of traffic and landed on the side of the road.
Rear glass window leaks onto driver's left side due to no seal around the glass. Dealer contacted, and attempted to repair three times. Problem has since been fixed. *ak
