Problems with 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 EXTERIOR LIGHTING

after filling up my truck and got speed up to about 65mph my gas gauge went to empty and then would come back up after hitting a bump in the road or rocking the truck back and forth , also the light on the gear shift lever kept going out and couldn't tell what gear i was in, could peck on console and light might come back on but stays off most of the time now. now the fuel gauge still acts up and it does not give and accurate reading.have to set my trip timer each time i fillup so i will know how much gas i have unless someone steals a lot of it then i usually run out of gas along side the road.

The abs and brake lights come on intermittently at random times while driving. *tr

Dt*: the contact stated while stopped at an intersection, the steering locked up, and the steering wheel could not be turned to the left. this was accompanied by the the sound of hydraulic resistance. the vehicle was not taken in for service. second, a piece of plastic fell off the interior of the vehicle. causing the driver seat to slide freely on the adjuster track when the contact sat in the seat. the vehicle was taken to a service dealer who was unable to determine the problem. third, the contact replaced the daytime running lights twice. the lights only worked for 3 to 6 months at a time before having to be replaced. the lights were not addressed by a dealer or a private repair shop. fourth, the headlamp switch constantly became excessively hot during operation of the headlamps. the vehicle was not taken in for inspection of the switch. fifth, when the 4-wheel drive mode was engaged, the wheels did not turn independently, causing increased effort in turning the vehicle. this problem was not inspected. sixth, the starter failed while attempting to start the vehicle. upon inspection of the starter, it was noticed that the housing was cracked. a private mechanic was consulted, who notified the contact that this was a common problem. finally, the passenger seat belt did not feed enough to allow for passenger comfort which caused the passenger to be abraised by the belt. the inertial control seemed to be intermittent. the seat belts were not inspected by either a private repair shop or a service dealer.

Headlights are too bright in lowest setting. headlights are blinding to other consumers. reason he knew this was that he was continually flashed by other vehicles to turn bright lights off when they were in lowest setting, followed by other drivers yelling about his headlights, and other unpleasantries. please provide any additional information/attachments.*ak
