1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO — Complaint #465793
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SLACK ADJUSTERS filed April 14, 2004
NHTSA complaint #465793 (ODI reference 10066128) concerns a 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO and was filed on April 14, 2004. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 13, 2004. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, air:slack adjusters, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET SILVERADO cohort independently describe similar service brakes, air:slack adjusters failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
