Five problems related to speed control cable have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Throttle cable sticks. Also, when cranking vehicle and placing into gear it is difficult to accelerate vehicle past braking point.
While driving on a slight incline let foot off accelerator and vehicle continued to accelerate. Dealer worked on it, and replaced cruise control cable and throttle body. Also, driver's side power windows work intermittently up and down. Dealer replaced switch and motor.
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.
The throttle sticks (hangs up) from the idle position causing dangerous jack rabbit lunges from zero speed. Throttle cable retaining ring sticks in guide sleeve.
When driving at 55 mph and upon acceleration there was vibration in accelerator pedal which caused driver's distraction. Consumer has contacted dealer. Driving at 1100 rpm accelerating or deaccelerating causes vibration from the engine area.
