1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS OUTLINED IN THE RECALLS/SERVICE BULLETINS: NHTSA0 6V066000, AND NHTSA 05V379000. MY VEHICLE IS A 1999 CHEVY K2500 THAT ISN'T LISTED IN THE RECALL LIST. THE SPEED SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS 1-4 TIMES PER YEAR (USUALLY FROM DEC THROUGH MAR). THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ON SUBSEQUENT FAILURES DID THE REPAIR MYSELF. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE TAILGATE CABLES MORE THAN ONCE, AND CURRENTLY HAVE A BROKEN ONE AGAIN. *TR

1999 AND UP CHEVY GMC SILVERADO WITH THE 6.0 LITER ENGINE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS RUSTING OFF. THIS CREATES AND EXHAUST LEAK THAT IS BAD FOR AIR POLLUTION NOT TO MENTION WITH GAS IN THE AREA A FIRE HAZARD. THIS PROBLEM NEED A RECALL AND MANY HAVE THE PROBLEM AND DON'T KNOW IT AND THE ONES THAT DO FIX IT PAY A LOT OF LABOR COST THIS IS A FAIRLY LABOR INTENSE JOB. *TR

MY 1999 CHEVY TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR A FAULTY SPEED SENSOR THAT CAUSED THE ABS TO GO OFF WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE REPAIR AND THEY CLEANED THE SENSOR. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TWO WEEKS AGO THE SAME THING STARTED TO HAPPEN, YOU GET ALMOST TO A STOP AND YOU ALL OF THE SUDDEN LOOSE ALL YOUR BRAKING POWER. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH EVERYTHING I HAD AND NOTHING. I PROBABLY DID EVEN MORE DAMAGE TO MY BRAKE SYSTEM BY PUSHING SO HARD TRYING TO STOP. I CAME WITHIN ABOUT A HALF AN INCH FROM HITTING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED OTHER TIMES LUCKILY NOT WITH SUCH CLOSE CALLS. CHEVY HAS INFORMED ME THAT SINCE I HAVE PUT ON 30,000 MILES SINCE THE RECALL THE WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT HAD I HAD ALL MY SERVICE AND REPAIR WORK THERE THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED IT AGAIN FOR ME. THIS SHOWS ME THE RECALL WAS NOT ABOUT SAFETY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THEIR VEHICLES IT IS ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE. PERIOD. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHEVY GMC TRUCKS AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN GET THE RECALL YET. ALL IT WILL TAKE IS ONE TIME FOR YOUR BRAKES NOT TO WORK YOU ROLL INTO AND INTERSECTION AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY GETS KILLED BECAUSE CHEVY IS TOO CHEAP TO STAND BEHIND OR FIX THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. *TR
