What owners wrote
Consumer states: cruise control and toll haul didn't work correctly, when turned off cruise control did not operate properly, it kept accelerating when touching brakes. The toll haul command was telling the truck to down shift.
My 1999 silverado has developed a sticking throttle off idle creating a potential hazard in heavy stop and go traffic.
