2003 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

CENTER HUB CAPS WILL NOT STAY TIGHT. HAVE HAD A LOOSENING PROBLEM SINCE NEW. DEALER PROVIDED A BAG OF NEW PLASTIC NUTS. ON LAST TRIP THE LEFT FRONT HUB CENTER CAM OFF AND ENDED UP IN THE NORTH RIM OF THE GRAND CANYON. DEALER INSTALLED A NEW CENTER HUB CAP AND ANOTHER BAG OF NUTS. SOME OF THE NEW NUTS WOULDN'T TIGHTEN AND HAD TO BE MOVED AROUND TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO TIGHTEN. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE STAINLESS OVER-LAY SPOT WELDED TO THE STEEL WHEEL, THUS LIMITING THE THREAD CONTACT WITH THE LUG NUTS. THE PLASTIC NUTS ONLY GRAB THE STEEL LUG NUT BY 1 OR 2 THREADS. MY WINDOW STICKER SAYS CHROME STYLE STEEL WHEELS. THIS STATEMENT IS MIS-LEADING. THEY ARE A STEEL WHEEL WITH A STAINLESS HUB CAP WELDED TO THE WHEEL AND A PLASTIC CENTER HUB WITH PLASTIC NUTS. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS SUPPOSE TO CHECK ON THIS PROBLEM BUT NEVER HEARD BACK FROM HIM. PLEASE NOTE: I AM A MECHANIC. I KNOW HOW TO INSTALL THESE TYPE OF CENTERS. I DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THEM AND THEY ARE INSTALLED BY HAND. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE TRUCK WAS NEW AND I DROVE IT HOME. I WAXED THE WHEELS AND NOTICED THE LOOSE CENTERS. THESE COULD BE DANGEROUS TO A PEDESTRIAN IF ONE FLEW OFF STRUCK THEM.

CONSTANT WIND NOISE FROM HOOD HINGE FLAPS AND TOP WINDSHIELD SEAL AT 50 AND ABOVE. ALSO DRIVER DOOR SEAL SQUEALS. I REPAIRED THE FLAPPING NOISES MYSELF AFTER THE DEALER TRIED 6 TIMES AND SAID IT WAS MY BUG DEFLECTOR. THE DOOR SEAL WAS REPLACED AFTER 6 TRIPS AND IS WORSE NOW THAN THEN. I REPAIRED THIS AS WELL AS I COULD. THEY REPLACED 1 OF 3 SEALS. AFTER 6 VISITS FOR MY GOODYEAR TIRES (NOTHING FOUND WRONG AGAIN) THEY DECIDE TO REPLACE THEM. IT TOOK 2 WEEKS TO GET TIRES AND THEN THEY REPLACED 2. THE TRANS IS CLUNKER AND HAS COMPUTER SOFTWARE ISSUES CAUSING SHIFTING PROBLEMS AND DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE. THE COMPUTER THINKS IT IS OK SO NO CODES WILL BE STORED. I ALSO POINTED OUT THE GM TSB'S TO THEM ON THIS PROBLEM. I MAY AS WELL GO TO THE ZOO FOR SERVICE AT LEAST I GET TO EXPECT POOR SERVICE FROM WILD ANIMALS. I WROTE THE VP OF GM AND HE RESPONDED TO ME AND FORWARDED MY LETTER TO VP OF SALES AND SERVICE. WENT BACK FOR REPAIRS AND STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEMS AND THE NEW TIRES WITH 1000 MILES ARE BAD JUST LIKE THE OTHERS. $38,000 PIECE OF JUNK WITH $3.00 HR MONKEYS REPAIRING IT. WHAT A JOKE, THEY CAN HAVE THIS TRUCK BACK SINCE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I WAS ALSO REFUSED SERVICE TWO TIMES BY MY LOCAL DEALER BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT ELSE WHERE. SERVICE MANAGER SAID: "YOU ARE NOT OUR LOYAL CUSTOMER AND IF WE DECIDE TO SERVICE YOU, YOU GO BEHIND OUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS, REGUARDLESS OF ORDER". I THINK HE MAY BE LOOKING FOR OTHER EMPLOYMENT NOW THAT THE VP CALLED ME TO DISCUSS MY CO

MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT IN OUR 2003 CHEVROLET 1500 SERIES PICKUP TRUCK DUE TO A STEERING PROBLEM. SHE WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A LOW SPEED AND SAID SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH THE STEERING. IT MADE A POPPING/GRINDING SOUND, SPUN HER IN A CIRCLE AND CAUSED HER TO HIT A CURB AND THEN A YIELD SIGN. WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THE DEALER CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAID THAT THE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE ANYONE COULD CHECK OUT THE STEERING. THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN REPAIRED, BUT THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE STEERING. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ESPECIALLY SINCE I READ AN ARTICLE REGARDING THE RECALL OF CERTAIN GM CARS WHOSE DRIVERS EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO READ IN THE ARTICLE THAT NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THE 2500 AND 3500 SERIES TRUCKS AND FEEL THAT THE 1500 SERIES SHOULD ALSO BE INVESTIGATED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE DRIFTED TO THE LEFT. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, WHO HAD DONE FOUR ALIGNMENTS, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. *AK

TRUCK LEANS TO LEFT. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS INFORMED NEW LEAF SPRING WAS ORDERED. *AK

INVOLVED IN A 45 MPH COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. AIRBAGS IN MY 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO DID NOT DEPLOY.*AK

I OWN A 2003 Z71 EXTENDED CAB 4X4 SILVERADO W/ LESS THAN 9,000 MILES. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ON WET PAVEMENT THERE IS NO TRACTION (THE TIRES JUST SPIN). THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS WHEN TAKING OFF (IE FROM A STOP LIGHT) OR STOPPING. THIS CAN CAUSE A POTENTIAL VEHICLE CRASH SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE ACCELERATING ACROSS TRAFFIC.*AK

BRAKES NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT 2,000 MILES DUE TO FRONTAND REAR ROTORS BEING OUT OF ROUND. MY INITIAL COMPLAINT WAS DUE TO A VERY LOUD NOISE EACH MORNING UPON INITIAL BRAKING. SOUND WAS NOT A NORMAL BRAKE SQUEAL. WORK ORDER SHOWS H0042 1.0+.8+1.8 O.L.H DUE TO REAR BRAKES. *AK

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TOWARDS THE LEFT IT LOCKED UP, CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *AK WHEN TURNING AND DRIVING, THERE WAS A POP IN THE FRONT END. *SCC *JB

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKED IN PLACE. AS A RESULT THE PASSENGER WAS UNABLE TO MOVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT BELT TWICE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.*AK

THERE IS A KNOCK OR A HARD PECKING FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. ESPECIALLY WHEN ON ROUGH HIGHWAYS AND WHILE TURNING. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED 3 TIMES. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING SHAFT INTERMEDIATE. FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT IT CAME BACK ABOUT AFTER 6 WEEKS. TOOK IT BACK DOWN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY DIDN'T REPLACE ANYTHING THE SECOND TIME? PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *LA

VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT VERY HARD. HAS BEEN WORKED ON 5 TIMES, AND HAS BEEN ALIGNED 3 TIMES. VEHICLE STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIX IT. TRAVELING ABOUT 65 MPH, YOU CAN LET THE STEERING WHEEL GO AND YOU WILL BE OFF THE ROAD IN ABOUT 2 SECONDS. *LA

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP TRANSMISSION SLIPS, CAUSING VEHICLE TO FAIL TO MOVE, THEN ENGAGES WHEN RPMS IS HIGH CAUSING VEHICLE TO JERK INTO GEAR. CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING INTO A INTERSECTION AND VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THE DELAY. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED 7 TIMES AND FAILED TO FIX IT. *LA

STEERING WHEEL BINDS WHILE STOPPED AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR TAKING OFF AND TURNING. IF BACKING UP SLOWLY OR MOVING FORWARD SLOWLY AND TURNING THROUGH PARKED CARS COULD CAUSE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO ONE WHEN THE STEERING BINDS UP. ALSO COULD CAUSE A CRASH WHILE TURNING AND STEERING BINDS AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO THE DITCH. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED 3 TIMES. THEY REPLACED THE SHAFT ASSEMBLY AND GEAR BOX. BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *LA

RATTLE SOUND AROUND THE WINDSHIELD. DEALER TRIED TO SAY IT WAS THE TIRES OUT OF BALANCE WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW. AFTER 3 VISITS TO THE DEALER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *LA

PASSENGER SIDE EXTERIOR MIRROR DEFROSTER NOT WORKING. *LA

DETERIORATION IN INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. REPAIR REQUIRED AT 16,500 MILES. DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS BEEN AWARE OF FAULTY PART SINCE THE MODEL CHANGE IN 1999. MANUFACTURER WILL NOT AUTHORIZE REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY PART BECAUSE THE NEW PART IS NOT EXPECTED TO LAST ANY LONGER THAN THE ORIGINAL.*JB

ON ONE OCCASION THE VIEHICLE SHIFTED INTO TOWING MODE BY ITSELF, WITHOUT ANY REASON, (IE: NO BUTTONS PRESSED). YESTERDAY, THE TRUCK SHIFTED INTO 4WD - LOW RANGE AT HIGHWAY SPEED BY ITSELF WITHOUT ANY REASON. THIS CAUSED THE FRONT WHEELS TO TEMPORARILY SCREECH AND THE ENGINE TO OVER-REV. I STOPPED THE TRUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND THEN THE 4WD CONTROL PANEL WAS INOPERATIVE AND THE SERVICE 4WD INDICATOR WAS ON. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM RIGHT THEN, BUT NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE THE ERROR CODE WOULD BE STORED AND THEY COULD RETRIEVE IT AFTER LUNCH. I TOOK IT BACK AFTER LUNCH, AND NO ERROR CODE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE HAD THE TRUCK IN ON 4WD PROBLEMS, BUT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE PROBLEMS HAVE PRESENTED A REAL DANGER. I HAD THE TRUCK IN FIVE TIMES WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITHOUT A FIX. *JB

WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES AT ANY SPEED, THEY WOULD FADE. THE PEDAL TRAVEL INCREASED AND DESCENDED FURTHER BEFORE THE BRAKES RESPONDED. THE DEALERSHIP HAD BEEN CONTACTED. *AK THERE WAS BRAKE PEDAL THICKNESS. (THE FRONT PADS WERE 10MM THICK AND THE REAR WAS 8MM) ALSO, THE BLINKERS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. *SCC

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN TRYING TO APPLY THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, THEY LOCKED UP, WHICH CAUSED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 45-56 MPH, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. *TT *JB

TRANSMISSION HAS ROUGH STUDDER/SLIPPAGE WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. IT DOESN'T OCCUR EVERY ACCELERATION.*AK

ORIGINAL GOODYEAR TIRES HAVE NO TRACTION IN WET CONDITIONS. VEHICLE HAS HYDROPLANED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRAVELING CAUTIOUSLY SLOW IN WET WEATHER. *AK

4 WHEEL DRIVE BECOMES NON OPERATIVE AND THE DASH LIGHT TURNS OFF AND MESSAGE SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE COMES ON. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIX IT. *LA

THE VEHICLE DUMPED DIESEL FUEL INTO THE CRANK CASE. THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE ON BACK ORDER. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS...............................*JB

I PURCHASED A 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO Z-71 FOR MY JOB WHICH REQUIRES MANY MILES. THE RIGHT REAR INSIDE BRAKE PAD WEARS FASTER THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS. I HAD TO REPLACE IT BEFORE 30,000 MILES OR IT WOULD COST ME A NEW ROTOR. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM ON ALL FULL SIZE TRUCKS. *LA

DURAMAX FUEL INJECTOR FAILURE. DEALER REPLACED 10 INJECTORS SO FAR, THREE SEPARATE FAILURES. SERVICE TELLS ME THIS IS SO COMMON, ALMOST EVERY 2003 DIESEL THEY HAVE SOLD HAS BEEN IN. TRUCK HAS BEEN SHOP FOR A TOTAL OF 28 DAYS, SO FAR. *LA

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH 17,000 MILES ON IT AND THE VIBRATION WITH THE TIRES ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY. I HAVE HAD THEM ROTATED REGULARLY. INFACT, I HAVE ROTATED THEM MORE THAN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER HAD. I RECIENTLY HAD THEM "TRUED" AND BALANCED. THE VIBRATION CONTINUES. AFTER A VISIT TO MY LOCAL BILL HEARD CHEVY DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIRES ARE IN SUCH BAD SHAPE THAT THEY WOULD NOT "INDEX" THEM. I NOW MUST SHOW THEM DOCUMENTATION OF WHEN, WHERE AND WHO ROTATED MY TIRES IN THE FIRST 6,000 MILES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION. NOW I ROTATE MY TIRE MYSELF AND THEREFOR, I HAVE NO PAPERWORK ON IT. CHEVROLET SAYS TO TAKE THE VECHILE TO A GOODYEAR TIRE DEALERSHIP AND SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT. I GOT MORE/BETTER RESPONSE FROM THEM. IF THE TIRES ARE 25% OR LESS IN WEAR, THEN THEY WILL REPLACE THEM. KEEP IN MIND, I HAD THEM "TRUED" WHICH MEANS I HAD THEM "SHAVED" TO A MORE ROUND SHAPE. SO NOW I HAVE GONE THE EXTRA MILE TO GET THE VIBRATION OUT OF THE TIRES BY "TRUEING" THEM AND NOW I HAVE TO HAVE THEM "DEAPTH CHECKED" TO SEE IF THERE IS ENOUGH TREAD TO JUSTIFIY A REPLACEMENT. WOW! TALK ABOUT DAMNED IF YOU DO AND DAMNED IF YOU DON'T! CHEVROLET NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKE CARE OF THERE CUSTOMERS. I DIDN'T BUY A TRUCK WITHOUT TIRES, I BOUGHT A PACKAGE DEAL. BUT WHEN NEEDED AFTER THE SALE, IT'S THE OTHER GUYS MALFUNCTION AND YOU NEED TO GO AND SEE THEM. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR CAR COMPANIES? DON'T BELIEVE THE COMERCIALS YOU SEE ON T

TIRES CAUSE YOU TO SKID ON ANY SURFACE AND HAVE ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCCIDENTS. THEY HAVE LITTLE TRACTION AT ALL! VERY DANGEROUS!!*AK

CLANKING IN TRANSMISSION BETWEEN 1 AND 2. *LA

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE HAD A TIRE BLOWOUT. THE CONSUMER MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SIDE, GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND EXAMINED THE TIRES. HE NOTICED THAT A TIRE WAS BLOWN OUT AT THE SIDE. VEHICLE DID NOT HIT OR BUMP ANYTHING BECAUSE THE BLOW OUT WAS AT THE LEFT REAR SIDE OF THE TIRE. CONSUMER STATED THAT HE CHANGED THE TIRE AND TOOK THE DAMAGED TIRE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP HIM BECAUSE THE TIRE WAS NOT A RECALL TIRE. GENERAL, AMERI-TRAC, SIZE 255/70R16. *AK THE SIDEWALL HAD BLOWN OUT AND THERE WAS NO SIGN OF TREAD DAMAGE.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND ROLLED OVER, THE CONSUMER STATED SHE MUST HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. NEITHER FRONT DRIVER OR PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. DRIVER COULD NOT RECALL WHETHER THERE WAS PRE-IMPACT BRAKING, BUT ASSUMED SO SINCE IT WAS A NATURAL REACTION.

I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K1500 PURCHASES IN JULY 2003. WHEN TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER (APPROX 4,000 LBS) I HAVE NOTICED WHAT FEELS LIKE A "SPONGY" BRAKE PEDAL. RECENTLY, I DISCOVERED THAT IF STEADY, MODERATELY HEAVY PRESSURE IN MAINTAINED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WILL SLOWLY GO DOWN COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. DEALER SERVICE MANAGER HAS SIMILAR TRUCK WITH IDENTICAL SITUATION. THEY HAVE NO ANSWER. QUESTION WAS DIRECTED BY DEALER TO DISTRICT SERVICE REP WHO STATED SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT THIS IS A DESIGN SITUATION AND THERE IS NO FIX!!!! I SUSPECT GM IS AVOIDING A COSTLY RECALL. HOWEVER, THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT ONE ACCIDENT COULD WELL COST MORE THAN THE RECALL, PARTICULARLY IF THERE IS LOSS OF LIFE. HOW IS ONE EXPECTED TO REMAIN STOPPED ON A GRADE FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR?

2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THE TRUCK WILL SHIFT IN 4 LOW WHILE DRIVING.THE SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER,DEALER CAN NOT GIVE REASON WHY THE TRUCK DOES THIS OR HAS BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR IT.SOONER OR LATER THIS TRUCK WILL CAUSE A ACCIDENT WHEN IT POPS INTO 4 LOW ON ITS OWN. *AK
