2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

SPEEDOMETER INTERMITTENT. MOST OF THE TIME INDICATES 120 MPH. *JB

SPEEDOMETER IS ALL MESSED UP IT HAS INACCURATE READINGS MOST OF THE TIME AND DOESN'T WORK AT ALL THE REST OF THE TIME. THE DEALER CLAIMS NO RESPONSIBILITY AND IS ASKING $500.00 TO FIX. MY DAUGHTER RECENTLY NOTIFIED ME THAT A LOCAL NEWS STATION HAD MANY CONSUMERS COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THAT SOME OF THEM HAD RECEIVED SPEEDING TICKETS WHEN THEIR SPEEDOMETER FAILED. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH 25000 FAILURE MILEAGE AT 5 MPH, AND SLOWING DOWN TO STOP THE ANTI- LOCK BRAKES STARTED TO PULSATE/JERK. THE CONTACT PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THEN THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALER, AND THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF 3/8/07. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,700.*AK THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE ABS REPAIRED BY A GM GARAGE. UPDATED 11/05/07. *JB

2003 CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. STICKS. SOMETIMES WORKS. DEALER SAID $500 TO FIX. KNOW 3 OTHER 03-04 SILVERADO OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. *NM

PURCHASED NEW IN 2003, CHEVY SIVLERADO 1500, AT 40,000 MILES, PASSENGER SIDE HEATED MIRROR CRACKED AND BOTH HEATED MIRRORS NO LONGER WORK. AT ABOUT 88,000 MILES SPEEDOMETER IS JUMPING AND STICKING, WILL NOT RETURN TO ZERO, CANNOT READ TRUE SPEED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW. *NM

ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER, READS ANYWHERE FROM 35 MPH TO OVER 120 MPH AT ALL TIMES. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO WHICH SOUND LIKE THE STEERING SHAFT IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY USED A GRINDER ON THE STEERING SHAFT. IT WASN'T TOO LONG AND THE PROBLEM RECURRED, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS TIME NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE STEERING SHAFT. I DID NOT HAVE IT REPLACED AT THIS TIME. THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE RECALLED. SO FAR THIS HASN'T CREATED AN ACCIDENT. *NM

SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT VARIOUS READINGS AND IS RARELY ACCURATE. I HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED ONE TICKET ($140). I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTORS INVOLVED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THINK GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL. ALSO TODAY, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. (HAD TO PULL THE FUSE) I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ABOUT BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL OF THIS AND KEPT COPIES OF ALL COMPLAINTS AND EMAILS. JUST TO HAVE SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON WHEN MY WIPERS GO OUT AND I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT MY NEXT TRUCK WON'T BE "MADE IN AMERICA" I CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY ASSURED ME THEY COULD REPAIR IT FOR UNDER 1000.00 WOW, WHAT A BARGAIN CONSIDERING IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT. *NM

SERVICE 4WD MESSAGE COMES ON, LOOSE ALL 4WD CAPABILITY. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN SNOW, THUS CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN. *NM

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO AND MY SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER CURRENTLY DO NOT WORK. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY MENTIONED THAT IT IS COMMON BUT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ($500) I ASKED WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT A PLASTIC GEAR WEARS OUT. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *JB

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AT 53000 MILES. APPARENTLY, ALL INTERNAL PARTS. MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SITUATION. THIS TYPE OF PART SHOULD NOT FAIL UNTIL 300,000 + MILES OR 25 YEARS! MOST PEOPLE ARE QUOTED (AND PAID) $500 - $1,000 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I'VE GOT A CALL IN TO GM DEALER, BUT HAVEN'T HEARD BACK YET. *JB

WHILE DRIVING OVER 55 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND JUMPS UP AND DOWN. FINALLY STOPS WORKING AND NEEDLE POINTS DOWN. NO WAY OF JUDGING SPEED. HAD IT REPROGRAMMED AT COST OF 10.00, DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. HAD A GAGE CLUSTER ORDER AND INSTALLED AT COST OF 300.00. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN CLUSTER IN A LOT OF TRUCKS AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO OWNER. MY TRUCK HAD 30,650 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *NM

2003 CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. *NM

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THAT THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED 120+MPH WHEN GOING 65 MPH. WHEN STOPPED IT INDICATED 60 MPH. DEALER REPLACED CLUSTER UNIT TO RESOLVE PROBLEM. *JB

I OWN A 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO AND THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN VERY ERRATIC LATELY. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 75,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I CAN BE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 30 MPH OR EVEN 0 MPH. THERE IS REALLY NO CONSISTENCY TO HOW THE SPEEDOMETER MEASURES MY SPEED. *JB

MY SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 65 MPH AT A STANDSTILL. *JB

2003 SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM. PINS AT 120 MPH ALL THE TIME. DISCONNECT BATTERY FOR 10 MINUTES. SPEEDOMETER FINE FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS, THEN SAME THING. BASED ON RESEARCH, SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. RECALL??? *NM

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WAS REPLACED ON THE 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AT 27638 MILES. THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT FAILED AGAIN AT 54000 MILES. AT TOM BANNING CHEVROLET THE MECHANIC STATED THAT EACH UPPER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WOULD ONLY LAST APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES. *AK

MY 03 CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING ERRATICALLY. IT HAS BECOME STUCK AT 60 MPH WHEN AT A FULL STAND STILL STOP. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT GONE AWAY AND IS CAUSING ME MUCH CONCERN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. *JB

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT DARK. CAN NOT READ THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO MALFUNCTIONS FROM TIME TO TIME. AFTER HAVING BEEN DRIVEN FOR AND HOUR OR SO IT WILL REGISTER THE SPEED AT WHICH IT WOULD REMAIN AT THE MOST, FOR INSTANCE IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT 70 MPH AND CAME TO A DEAD STOP IT WOULD STILL REGISTER 70 MPH. ALSO WHEN IT DOES NOT STICK IT WILL ACT LIKE IT IS TRYING TO STICK AND DROP FIVE OR SO MILES AT A TIME INSTEAD OF DECREASING AT A STEADY PACE. WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO DETERMINE MY SPEED. *NM

STEERING COLUMN - THE COLUMN MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE. I CAN ALSO FEEL THE KNOCKING WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE BUSHING WAS REPLACED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS COME UP AGAIN. IT WENT AWAY FOR 6 MONTHS OR SO AND HAS BEEN BACK EVERY SINCE. *JB

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY 2003 SILVERADO FOR FOUR YEARS NOW AND HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM: WITH 53000 MILES AT 10,000 MILES: STARTED DEALING WITH INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT CLUNK. SOMEWHAT RELIEVED TO FIND OUT THAT THE FRONT END ISN'T FALLING APART; DISMAYED TO HEAR THAT I MAY BE OBLIGED TO PAY AND PAY TO HAVE THIS CHRONICALLY-DEFECTIVE PART SERVICED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. LUBING THE PART IS NOW GOING TO FIX A DESIGN PROBLEM. NOW GM WILL NOT COVER THE LUBING BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THE STEERING SHAFT HAS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT IS WHY GM HAS SENT OUT BULLETINS AND REDESIGNED SHAFTS FOR REPLACEMENTS, SO WHY IS THIS PART NOT ON RECALL??? TO MANY BULLETINS ON ONE PART FOR IT NOT TO BE DEFECTIVE. THANKS YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I WAIT ON YOUR RESPONSE. *JB

SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 60 MPH WHILE PARKED AND DOES NOT GO BACK DOWN TO ZERO. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING. *JB

SPEEDOMETER IS READING 20 OR 40 OR 120 OR 70 NO MATTER IF YOU ARE SITTING STILL, GOING 50. IT DOES NOT MATTER THE SPEEDOMETER IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. *NM

SPEEDOMETER IS NO LONGER ACCURATE. I HAVE READ MANY POSTS FOR PEOPLE WITH THE SIMILAR TYPE OF VEHICLE 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND 2003 GMC YUKONS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER LOCKS UP AND DISPLAYS SPEEDS AT LEAST 20-30 MPH OVER, THEN SOMETIMES REGISTERS 0 MPH WHEN TRAVELING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE TO RESORT TO USING A PORTABLE GPS FOR MY SPEED DETECTION. THIS APPARENTLY IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES, IT IS A COSTLY FIX, AND GM REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL. AS THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN, PLEASE LOOK AT REQUIRING GM TO ISSUE A RECALL. THANK YOU. *NM

SPEEDOMETER ON 2003 SILVERADO FAILED WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. GLANCED DOWN AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NOTICED THAT I WAS TRAVELING 120 MPH IN A SCHOOL ZONE!!!!....OBVIOUSLY AN ERROR. THE SPEEDO NEEDLE IS GITTERY AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERS. I'M GRAVELY CONCERNED THAT I NO LONGER KNOW HOW FAST/SLOW I'M DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED/RESOLVED. *NM

VEHICLE WAS IDLING POORLY, IT HAD A ROUGH IDLE THAT WOULD SHAKE THE VEHICLE. THIS CAME AND WENT, IT WAS NOT A CONSTANT PROBLEM BUT SLOWLY GREW WORSE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT 4 OF THE EIGHT CYLINDERS, ONE ENTIRE BANK, WAS MISFIRING. THE TROUBLE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY OXYGEN SENSOR THAT WAS DUMPING 50% MORE FUEL THAN NEEDED INTO THESE CYLINDERS. THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED AS WAS THE SPARK PLUGS WHICH HAD BECOME FOULED. *NM

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO HAS QUIT WORKING PROPERLY. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE IS STUCK ON 120 MPH. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE ALERTED. THE DEALER DISCOVERED A MOUSE HAD STRIPPED THROUGH THE INSULATION AND CHEWED THROUGH THE WIRES UNDER THE FUSE BOX. UPDATED 01/10/07. *JB

2003 CHEVY SILVERADO, 56,8000 MILES. SPEEDOMETER WAS TACKING AT 50 MPH. IS NOW WORKING BACKWARDS FROM 140 MPH GOING ONLY AS FAR AS 80 MPH. CALLED DEALER, SAID NO RECALL. SAID IT WOULD COST $600 TO REPLACE "BUNDLE". JUST WENT THROUGH MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND I BELIEVE GM SHOULD STEP UP! *NM

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 03 CHEVROLET SILVERADO RANDOMLY STICKS. RIGHT NOW IT IS STUCK AT 80 MPH AND THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY AND IS NOT EVEN STARTED. THIS CAUSES MY SPEED TO DISPLAY WRONG AND I MUST USE SIMPLE ARITHMETIC TO FIGURE OUT HOW FAST I'M GOING. HOWEVER, AT THIS POINT, I CAN ONLY USE THAT ARITHMETIC TO DETERMINE UP TO 40 MPH AS MY SPEEDOMETER ONLY MEASURES UP TO 120. AFTER THAT, I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED -- IT SEEMS TO EVENTUALLY FIX ITSELF ONLY TO HAPPEN AGAIN. IN CHECKING INTERNET CHAT ROOMS, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR CHEVY/GM VEHICLES IN THAT PRODUCTION YEAR. WHY HAS THIS BEEN ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT A RECALL? MY CAR IS DUE FOR INSPECTION. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT I GET THE SPEEDOMETER BACK TO 0 TO HAVE THIS INSPECTION DONE AS I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET THE REPAIR DONE NOR DO I FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO SPEND A DIME ON SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. PLEASE DO YOUR JOB AND ISSUE A RECALL. OTHERWISE, IT'S BACK TO BUYING FOREIGN VEHICLES! *NM

RATTLING IN STEERING WHEN MAKING LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS OR HITTING ROUGH ROAD GOING STRAIGHT. *NM

ERRATIC AND INACCURATE SPEEDOMETER READINGS ON 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. *JB

2003 CHEVROLET Z-71 EXT. CAB, 4.8 LITER, AUTO TRANS. LS MODEL. JUST TURNED 50,000 MILES ON 11-13-2006 AND SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC AND INACCURATE! UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE. I HAVE READ OVER 200 OF THE SAME CASES WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE. SPEEDOMETER READS 100 WHEN TRAVELING AT 60 MPH. WHEN IN PARK SPEEDOMETER READS OVER 35 MPH. THIS SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! *NM

2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN, THE SPEEDOMETER DEVELOPS AN "OFFSET ZERO." I REALIZED THE PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED SLOWING TO A STOP LIGHT. THE MOST DIRE CONSEQUENCE WAS SLOWING TO TURN AFTER REALIZING THE PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED AND HAVING NO RELIABLE GAUGE AS TO MY TURNING SPEED. I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH I REFER TO MY SPEEDOMETER WHILE SLOWING UNTIL I ALMOST MISSED MY TURN ENTIRELY BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE. I HAVE SINCE HAD THE DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER REPAIRED AT A COST OF $200, BY A NON-GM TECHNICIAN. *JB

INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT NOISE CAUSED BY WEAR OR BAD PART DESIGN BY G.M. IN MY OPINION I THINK THIS WEAR COULD LEAD TO A STEERING FAILURE WHICH IS NOT G.M.'S OPINION. *NM

MY 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK STARTED MAKING A LOUD GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR WHEEL. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS ONLY BEEN USED FOR TRANSPORTATION OF PASSENGERS AND LIGHT HAULING ON OCCASION. I PULLED THE REAR WHEELS AND NOTICED THE BRAKE ROTORS AND CALIBERS EXCESSIVELY RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT THE SHOES WHERE NOT CONTACTING THE ROTOR. THE LOCAL GM DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY( LEN STOLER CHEVROLET IN WESTMINSTER MD.) I REPLACED THE REAR PADS AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED DOWN AND ALSO REPLACED BOTH REAR CALIBERS WITH NEW ONES AND STILL THE NOISE IS THERE. ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY SOFT AND ALMOST GOES COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS BEEDINGS OF THE CALIBERS . THERE IS NO AIR COMING OUT OF THE BLEEDERS. THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES APPARENTLY DON'T WORK BECAUSE THE WHEELS LOCK UP AND SLIDE WHEN YOU PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE WHEN IT COMES TO THESE BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE BRAKES STILL DON'T FUNCTION PROPERLY AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME HOW IT CAN BE FIXED PROPERLY SINCE IT CLEARLY IS A ENGINEERING DESIGN FAULT BY GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET HURT OR EVEN KILLED WITH THESE FAULTY BRAKES BEFORE GM IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT? THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LENSTOLER CHEVROLET UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR ON 10JUN2005, WHERE THEY REPLACED BOTH REAR ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WHERE RUST PITTED AND OUT OF ROUND WITH JUST 20,136 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *NM

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN MY SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T SHOW MY SPEED IT JUST STUCK AT 60 MPH. WHEN I WENT TO SPEED UP THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD SPEED UP ALSO SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 65 WHEN REALLY I WAS ONLY GOING 5 MPH. PULLED THE TRUCK OVER AND SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN THE RESTARTED IT UNTIL THE SPEEDOMETER WAS AT 0 MPH. THEN PULLED BACK ON THE HWY, WHILE SPEEDING UP TO THE TRAFFIC THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 0 MPH. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WHIT OTHER TRUCKS LIKE MINE. THE MECHANIC HOOKED UP A TESTER AND TOLD ME HE DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEM. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE SPEEDOMETER WORKED PERFECTLY, FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS NOW SINCE THEN IT IS A GUESSING GAME WEATHER OR NOT THE SPEEDOMETER IS TELLING ME THE RIGHT SPEED OR IF IT IS WRONG. SO I HAVE BEEN USING MY GPS FOR THE PAST FEW MOTHS. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND ALSO TO CHEVY. CHEVY HAS QUOTED ME ANYWHERE FROM 600-1000 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AND OTHERS I HAVE TALKED TO HAVE STATED THAT IT HAS COST THEM ABOUT THAT MUCH ALSO.

PARKING BRAKE IS NOT HOLDING. I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC SILVERADO SS 6.0 V8 2003 MODEL. I STARTED TO ROLL DOWN A HILL BECAUSE MY BRAKES DIDN'T HOLD. THE ONLY THING THAT HELD WAS MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEARS AND THAT IS PUTTING A STRAIN ON THEM AND MAKES IT HARD TO TAKE IN AND OUT OF GEAR. *JB

SPEEDOMETER GAUGE IS NOT READING THE CORRECT SPEED AND JUMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS CAN CAUSE ME TO HAVE A ACCIDENT BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO TELL WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING. *JB

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS ON CHEVY SILVERADO 2 WHEEL DRIVE PREMATURE WEAR OUT. COST $700 TO REPLACE. VOSS CHEVY DIAGNOSED PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED AT A TIRE STORE BEFORE VOSS CONFIRMED IT. I WAS TOLD AT TIRE STORE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2003 &2004 TRUCKS CHEVY DENIED HELP. I WENT TO ANOTHER GARAGE TO HAVE IT DONE FOR $500. THIS WORKS WITH ABS BRAKES IS WHY SO EXPENSIVE. *JB

STEERING GEAR BOX IS GOING OUT, PART HAS TO BE REPLACED. ME & 4 OTHERS THAT BOUGHT THIS PICKUP ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM

OCT 2005, HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HUB ASSEMBLY ON MY 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO. SEPTEMBER 2006, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING/HUB ASSEMBLY IS GOING BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I DO NO OFF ROADING AND HAVE ONLY USED 4WD ABOUT 3 TIMES DURING THE WINTER.

WIPERS WON'T SHUT OFF. MOTOR COVER WITH CONTROLLER MODULE ONLY AVAILABLE AT DEALER FOR $100+. DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. TRUCK HAS 55000 MILES. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE BRAKING, THE ABS ENGAGED WHEN THE VEHICLE PAST 10 MPH. ACCOMPANIED BY A SOUND LIKE AIR ESCAPING FROM THE BRAKE, THIS CAUSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PULSATE, AND EXTENDED THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE. A SERVICE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME DURING A RAIN STORM MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. I HAD THEM ON AN INTERMITTENT SPEED AND THEY ALL OF SUDDEN WENT TO HIGH. ONCE I WAS HOME. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN MY WIPERS OFF AND THEY ONLY WENT TO LOW. I AM UNABLE TO TURN MY WIPERS OFF I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE. IF I NEED MY WIPERS I MUST PUT THE FUSE BACK IN. I AM WORKING NOW TO DETERMINE IF IT IS THE MULTIPLE FUNCTION SWITCH THAT HAS GONE BAD. UPON LOOKING UP DATA ABOUT MY VEHICLE ON LINE I FOUND TRUCKS DATING BACK TO THE MID 90'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *NM

THE FRONT SPRINGS ON 2003 CHEVROLET 1500 SILVERED QUAD CAB TRUCKS ARE COLLAPSING AND GMC/CHEVROLET KNOWS ABOUT PROBLEM AND SAYS IT THE OWNERS RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THEIR MISTAKE IN DESIGNING AND ENGINEERING THE TRUCK. THEY SENT OUT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO ALL DEALERS ABOUT PROBLEM AND SAYS IT THE OWNERS NEED TO PAY $18.00 DOLLARS FOR RUBBER BUSHING TO PUSH UP SPRING AND 380.00 IN LABOR .IT NOT THE COMPANY'S FAULT. I THINK THEY NEED A RECALL AND REPLACE THE SPRINGS WITH HEAVY DUTY SPRINGS AT THEIR COST NOT THE OWNERS COST. *NM

I HAVE A 2003 K1500 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT HAS A SEVERE CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 2 AND 3 GEAR. CHEVROLET ACKNOWLEDGES THE CLUNKING SOUND AND GAVE ME A DOCUMENT ID#1828818 WHICH STATES THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT NO SOLUTION. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM AND ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER SINCE WITH MY FIRST VISIT ON 12/17/04 AT 14444 MILES WITH THE CLUNKING NOISE PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH DEALERS ON EVERY VISIT THAT CHEVROLET WILL NOT REPAIR NOR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE HELP. *NM
