5 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2003 Chevrolet 1500

Failure Date: 09/08/2012

Vehicle will suddenly decrease power and the message "engine power reduced" shows on message display. First time was 9/8/2012. Last time was Feb 24, 2015. Has done this at 25 mph on a city street, 35 mph city street twice, and 55 mph on highway. Supposedly repaired three times. Am afraid to use vehicle as usually tow 5th wheel and do not want it to do this while towing.

6 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2004 Chevrolet 1500

Failure Date: 11/15/2011

My vehicle read 0 mph when I am driving at any speed. There are times it will shoot to 120 mph and others it will be in between regardless of my actually speed. Additionally, the gas gauge goes past full when I am near empty and vice versa. Sometimes the gas gause sticks in the middle so I never know exactly how much gas I have. This is a safety issue as I have been pulled over for going over the speed limit when my gauge told me I was doing the speed limit. Additionally, I have ran out of gas on a major highway because my gauge told me I was 3/4 full when I was on empty. I know after searching the internet that this problem was a special circumstance and vehicles who were less than 80k miles or got fixed prior to July 2011 then they were covered. However, nothing was done for the vehicles after that date. There are several others gm owners with trucks ranging from 2003-2007 with the same problem and we are being forced to have this problem fixed out of pocket for over $500. This is a major safety issue and all of the vehicles should have been recalled. I never received any notice on my car and was told by gm that the dealer didnt submit the new owner information despite me buying from a gm dealer. I am asking the NHTSA to enforce this saftey issue and recall these vehicles to be covered by gm no matter what the mileage is. . Read more...

10 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 1999 Chevrolet 1500

Failure Date: 04/29/2011

I have had nothing but trouble with rotted rotors, pads that don't wear right, brake lines that rotted and rusted away that they needed to be all replaced in July of 2006. A six year old motor vehicle should not have to have all the lines replaced. The bill was $1,200. Next a abs front wheel sensor recall was done at best chevy, hingham, mass. The abs lights came on and off at their own pace. I had new front bearings installed, had my mechanic check for codes. Nothing. The brakes just never felt right sometimes. I worked as a auto mechanic for nearly 25 years, never seen anything like this brake problem. By the way I took good care of my vehicle, gm must of used sub standard brake tubing, never seen anything so decayed after 6 years. On April 29, 2011 I was driving home and had stopped at a traffic light about 1/4 mile from my home. The light turned green, I accelerated up to about 30 mph and within a few hundred feet the abs light came on. Here we go again. As I neared the entrance to my street some 300 feet away , I took my foot of the gas and the truck began to slow. At about 200 feet I began to depress the brake pedal, it seemed ok but as I got nearer to the street I found myself needing to push down more and more. I was at 15 mph and ready to begin my turn and felt something was wrong. My left front tire had begun to lightly skid. The pedal went to the floor, was down at about 10 mph and before I could get my left foot onto the emergency brake and apply it, the left side front of truck struck a tree. The road is a private way and very narrow there. No air bag deployment, didn't damage the truck too much but it hit right on the tow hook and kinked the frame. I had my mechanic bring his analyzer to my home and it informed him that the control module had failed. I've spent good money after bad on those brakes and I demand the NHTSA do something.
