Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 1999 PICKUP is tires with 2 filings, followed by tires:tread/belt (1). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 51 investigation files overlapping the 1999 PICKUP, and 1 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

I HAVE NOT HAD A FAILURE YET, BUT THE CRACKS THAT ARE SHOWING UP ON ALL FOUR OF MY TIRES, DOWN AT THE BASE OF TREAD LUGS, IS VERY WORRY SOME. THE CRACKS HAVE BECOME MORE PRONOUCED OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHES. WHEN I TOOK THEM TO A FIRESTONE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT THIS MODEL WAS NOT UNDER RECALL, AND THE COULD PRO RATE A NEW SET FOR ME. IF IT HAD BEEN ONE TIRE I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT A FLUKE, ANY MANUFACTURER HAS. ALL FOUR TIRES DEVELOPING THE SAME PROBLEM SOUNDS MORE LIKE A REAL PROBLEM. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
