My driver's side seatbelt consistently gets stuck and won't come out. Also both my front windows are broken. The mechanism that moves them up and down has broken and they now fall down into the door as a result. There was no accident or incident of any kind to initiate these problems.

: the contact stated while driving on normal road conditions at low speeds, and under normal braking conditions, the anti-lock brakes failed to stop the vehicle. The ABS activated, causing extended stopping distance. After the first incident the dealer replaced the rotors. The second time the dealership put brake pads on the rear, cleaned the sensors, and resurfaced the front and rear rotors. However, the problem recurred. The right rear window regulator was replaced. Updated 02/07/06.

1. power window passenger door: Operates slowly and if it gets too warm will quit. After 30 seconds will continue slowly 2. other - cd player: Plays tract 1 then skips & ejects cd (laser out of line) 3. ABS system has failed - automatic brake control module has to be replaced. This is a common problem for the '99 siverado. (the local auto wrecker won't even sell a used one unless there are less than 40000 km. This should say something!) I feel this should be a recall

Without any indication, front end of vehicle locked up, causing consumer to lose control of vehicle. Dealer was contacted, and stated that subframe needed to be replaced. The front differential was torqued sideways and broken apart, causing the frame to have 2 breaks, this caused the front to lock up, also prior to this consumer complained of a delay between the forward and reverse, when a bump was felt when accelerating, consumer also heard a clunk noise, dealer drained and replaced the transfer case fluid twice. The engine sputters in 4 wheel low and there is a whine noise or pulley noise from the engine. The front seat arm rest fell off. The left front daytime lamp was full of water due to the assembly being improperly sealed at the factory. The brakes pulsated and pedal felt soft, dealer stated the right rear caliper was sticking and the front and rear rotors were corroded badly, causing the brake pads to wear. The electric brake was inoperable, dealer installed a new plug, the wiring harness was badly damaged. The power windows were inoperable. The left door creaks due to front door link being loose. Consumer was informed that he was supposed to sign a waiver because of the plow being placed onto the extended cab, this was because the installation was not recommended, however the consumer was never informed of this until after the installation and the problems with the vehicle.

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).

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.
