Five problems related to engine and engine cooling have been reported for the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
This is the second of three fatal collisions investigated this year by my office involving Chevrolet pickups that caught fire after being involved in frontal collisions. This was an off set head on, passenger side to passenger side. Passenger in pickup was pinned in vehicle due to crush and consumed by fire.
My truck has been blowing hot air when on cool. When it started doing it, I noticed sparks coming from what appeared to be my ac unit. This is a safety hazard. I believe that my actuator blend doors need to be replaced but do not know for sure.
After a 3 mile ride, backing up truck noticed smoke then flames coming out from under the hood. Fire melted all electical lines, destroyed hood and windshield. Weather was perfect, air conditioning may have been on.
A/c stops working. Pressure switches changed, coolent recharged, now they are adding an electric fan to help cool the condenser. Can't figure out what is wrong.
After the vehicle had been parked for a week, a fire started under the hood. The fire was put out and the dealership was notified. The problem was not resolved. The cause was not determined.
