| I am having the same problem that the person stated about the abs braking on her 99...even when my truck was still under warrenty the dealer said nothing was wrong and blamed it on the way i drove...like he knows how i drive!!!....i did find that their was recall on othem and the dealer said my truck was not included ..in it ...well it should have been and should be...doesnt matter the conditions of the road they kick in whenever they feel like it..once it happened and i slid right out into on coming traffic and i was still told nothing was wrong...i think that the dealer never cared....i have 104th on my truck now at 102th i replaced then engine due to 2 broken lifters....i also have a trannie problem while under warrenty and again the dealer refused to admit a problem and i brought it to a aaa cert. shop and they too also refused that there was a problem...2 1/2 months after the warrenty expired i completly lost my transmission and had my children in the truck when it happened!!!..and again the shops that i went to both still wouldn't acknowledge there was a problem and said i was a problem customer!!! i complained to the warrently place and they too did nothing about .... remind me again why we have warrenties!!! this started in 2002 with these issues and the dealer refused to take back the vehicle!! and now in 2009 i still have issues with the abs. *tr | |||

| The intake manifold cracked on the 1999 chevy 1500 (suburban) and let water get into the firing chamber from the cooling system. it happened in 2002 at about 60,000 and again at 2008 at about 110,000... i was told by my mechanic that it was a plastic component that warbles when it heats and cools over time and cracks. it cost over $1000. to replace it each time it cracks. is there a recall or any way i can get any money from gm for this poorly designed part??? is there a recall or service bulletin out on the problem????? *tr | |||

| While still accelerating after entering freeway traffic from a gently ascending freeway on ramp, this 1999 chevrolet suburban (100k miles) very suddenly began to loose power and shake (not vibrate) violently. although the engine did not completely stall, the vehicle decelerated very quickly, and there was a clear sensation that power steering and power brakes were becoming inoperable. this was very dangerous, as this freeway on ramp leads directly onto the #1 lane of the freeway, and there was no shoulder. an odbii code scanner indicated code p0300 (multiple cylinder misfire). the vehicle was towed to a gm dealership who advises that a valve stem has broken in cylinder 5. repairs have been quoted at $2000 to $3000 on a vehicle touted as heavy duty who's primary use is taking toddlers school and grocery shopping. the vehicle remains un-repaired because of the cost. this is inexcusable at a mere 100k miles. *jb | |||
