Headlights problems of the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado

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).

Driver's daytime running light was inoperative, dealer replaced bulb.

Emergency brake has been adjusted 4-5 times. When applied, brake holds vehicle, but pedal goes to the floor. Also, dealer replaced brake pads. Daytime running bulb blew out after it had just been replaced. Rear window assembly was leaking, power window was slow going up. Transfer case was replaced due to a clunk noise, transaxle shaft replaced due to leaking. Front brake hose experienced an abrasion. Vehicle was leaning, dealer adjusted front torsion bar.

Headlights went out while driving at night multiple times, both hi and lo beams. Only way to get them back was to shut off vehicle completely, and this only worked some of the time. Problem likely a result of this dealership attempting to fix an instrument panel squeak which caused a short. Dealer now attempting to repair.

I work on a military base and am required to dim headlights when passing through a guard gate. The automatic headlamps cannot be disabled. Gm claims this meets all 1999 safety standard and will not fix the headlight system. I have also discovered that the year 2000 model truck can have the automatic headlights disabled on a temporary basis. While I feel this is not directly related to driver safety I think this is an important issue for all the mps, guards, police that expect not to be blinded by drivers approaching a guard gate or checkpoint. Thank you for considering this issue. Dave schultz.

The automatic headlight on feature cannot be defeated if required to turn off headlights at night such as at us customs border crossings which is a requirement. Also the driver cannot turn off headlamps at night in places such as RV parks, drive in movie theaters, parking lots booths etc.

When the vehicle is started the headlights automatically come on ,there is no way to cut these lights off unless you turning the vehicle off.

Headlights flicker, at night, dealer stated "this is normal" something to do with the computer recycling every 90 seconds. Sure is annoying.

The daytime running lights are designed to not be able to turn off at any time while driving, design creates problems on occasions to consumer. Mjs.
