1999 Chevrolet Silverado LE review from North America
"The vehicle has been just O.K"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The throttle was notorious for sticking.
The parking brake doesn't hold.
Intake plenum gasket replaced under warranty.
A couple of seat belt and brake hose issues have been handled per recall.
General comments?
The parking brake issue is getting some air time by GM as future recall, hopefully to be addressed while I still own vehicle.
Another Silverado owner told me to clean the throttle body to alleviate the throttle sticking. Problem solved. Dealer service dept. should have caught that one.
