My 2003 chevy Silverado goes into gear with out pressing on the brake, also the truck will go into gear with out the keys in the igintion. The e-brake is also defective, the e-brake does not hold the truck. My 2 yrs old son was sitting in the truck on 9/20/2011 when the truck went into gear. I live on a incline my truck rolled down the hill while I was chasing the truck truck on foot, the truck finally came to a stop when it hit a 98 Toyota tacoma which was parked in the drive way accross the street. The e-brake was set , the keys were not in the truck, the truck was not running! my son could have killed himself or someone else due to the fact the truck is not safe!.
My husband has a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado truck that has been having a problem with the speedometer. At first the speedometer would excelerate without applying pressure on the gas and there would be no change in speed. Then after a few months of that going on the speedometer does not work at all. I've been in contact with a few owners of Chevrolets trucks or SUV's and I was suprised to hear alot of them had to pay a large amount of money to replace their speedometer due to the same problem.
In December of 2007 my 2003 Chevrolet extended cap Silverado truck's speedometer started jumping and getting stuck; it gave inaccurate speed while driving and while parked. Jan 08-an auto repair service charged me $108. 98 for a speed sensor, $75. 74 for a connector, and because of the time span to fix, $86. 95 for a new battery gone dead. The speedometer continued to jump and get stuck, but I was unable to pay to get speedometer replaced. By Nov 08 ? symptoms got worse. While driving on the interstate, at first got stuck at 85mph when going 60, then it climbed to 120mph, then it went past 120mph and is now permanently stuck on "r" on the drive gear panel (straight down). My warranty is expired and I cannot afford to fix the problem.
Speedometer started sticking and gradually got worse, now the speedometer is stuck. I called the dealer and they said they just send them off to a speedometer repair shop all the time. I called some speedometer repair shops and they said that the problem I am having was quite common for the 2003 chevy truck.
2003 chevey 2500 hd crew cab duramax. The speedometer sticks and will not return to 0. When the temperature is really cold, all of the gauges stop working. No accidents, and no consequences except for the cost of repair. I have spoken to service shops in canada and here in minneapolis, and both say it is a fairly frequent problem. In fact, GMC has opened a shop in California which deals only with the instrument cluster. Why is this problem not fixed my GMC, if it a problem they know exists.
I have a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1/2 ton pickup with 29000 miles on it when the rear brake calipers froze up and ruined my rear brake pads. Chevy says that this is not under warranty because of poor maintenance on my part. I did everything required in the owners manual. I have talked with three of my friends who have the same pickup and their rear brakes failed at lower mileages and were covered and the dealer also installed a special brake dirt cover to the rear brakes to help with the problem. I contend that this is a design defect in the rear disc brakes and can expect to replace my rear brakes in another 18000 t0 24000 miles. Would you look into this matter for me.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) since this is the only place I can find on your site to send a complaint to,my issue is with all the Chevrolet recalls that are out there for my truck I have never gotten a letter or a card or any other kind of notice from the manufacturer. I have had the truck since new and have had to come here to print everything out and take it to the dealer to get it resolved. So I guess when they sell the car or truck they are not responsible any more to notify the owners? I have a Chevrolet 2003 z71 4x4 [xxx] in my opinion this is not very good company to consumer relations. I do thank god for this site being here as this is the only way I can seem to keep up on the issues/trouble/recalls that are out here to find what's wrong with my truck to keep it on the road and running right. At this time they are now ordering me a new instrument cluster because of the stepper motor that went out and is registering over 120 mph at this time and im not even driving it, the dealer said that he had no recall for this and I proceeded to tell him I have the paperwork for your site and then he was still going to charge me for it except I sort of blew up in the service dept. [xxx].
The blue indicator light for high beams was on. The light was very bright. The consumer almost ran off the road as a result. The dealer told the consumer to put a piece of tape over the indicator light.
