general problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado

Truck has 82,000 miles. Speedometer been acting up last couple of weeks. Sitting park it reads 40mph. I see where everyone who owns a Silverado has this same problem with the clusters. Are all my gauges gonna go out now?. . . . How bad are the all gonna be off?. . . . . This is bad. . . . . And everyone knows of this problem too. . . Thats the worst part. My next truck will be a Toyota!.

Speedometer incorrect reading, then total failure.

Reduced engine power message and drops into "limp mode", there is no problem with engine overheating. The computer give a code 1516 "drive by wire" sensor calibration problem. Dealer indicated "yellow" wire broken on some vehicles others have to replace the throttle sensor. Danger is on loose of power in traffic, instead of a message to check the engine.

2003 chevy Silverado speedometer moving erratically. Gets stuck at 120mph.

: the contact stated while driving 45 mph, the speedometer would not move. Even while driving at higher speeds, the speedometer displayed 0 miles per hour. The service dealer was not contacted however the manufacturer provided the phone number to file the complaint.

Speedometer malfunctioned.

We have a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2004 impala. Speedometers have broken on both. The impala was replaced under warranty. The Silverado was turned in under warranty but not repaired and now it is out of warranty. This apparently is a major and widespread problem with Chevrolet vehicles and the company will not stand behind the product. Bob howard Chevrolet in oklahoma city tells me cost to fix this problem is $400-600 for the part and $125-175 for labor. How many of these module clusters have prematurely malfunctioned? mechanics and gm service centers say they are on national back order. That should illustrate the need for review and recall.

My speedometer and tachometer quit working along with a tail light my mechanic said the part alone would cost 300. 00. I thought my tach was still working until I got a 150. 00 ticket. I can't afford that much especially with my ticket.

Speedometer reads erratically well above or below actual speed or may read correctly then become off be a little or a lot without warning. Dealer says they have had a rash of these failures. Could result in unsafe speeds without notice. I first noticed it in a 35 mph zone when the speedometer read 35 and I was passing everyone quickly.

Speedometer reads erratically either highor low. Will register various speed when stopped. Sometimes will work properly, then go bad again. 1st noticed when read 35 mph on road keeping up with traffic in 60mph zone. Dealer say he has seen a run on this problem with 5-6 in last couple of weeks. At first it would seem okay when it warmed up for 15-20 minutes now really erratic. Requires module replacement at $680 and 7 days to get part. Unsafe to drive with no reliable speed measure.

I own a 2003 Chevrolet 1500 z71 ext cab pickup. On Dec 23, 2004 the speedometer would not decrease its reading, even if the vehicle was at a complete stop. The speedometer will only display the incorrect speed or top out and not move from 120mph. When I contacted the dealership were the vehicle was purchased they notified me that this is an ongoing problem and the part they need to fix the speedometer is on back order for a minimum of 30 days.

I have a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado . 5 ton. I have had a problem with the fuel level sensor and a check engine light for the last 8 months. My speedometer started to act very jittery for about 2 months and now it does not work at all. It is stuck pointing straight down. Two dealers said they are seeing this a lot, and have a very long back order for parts.

While driving, the consumer noticed the speedometer was not working. The consumer was unable to determine how fast he was traveling. Please provide any further information.
