| Electronic Stability Control problems |
Instrument cluster- the only thing that works is the speedometer if I hit a bump the speedometer stops working my truck sometimes dies on me going down the roads, I recently took it to a shop and they ran a diagnostic test and told me it's a electrical problem but since my instrument cluster wasnt working could not narrow it down. . Windshield- front makes a whistle sound when your going down the highway it's been like that since I have owned it. . Battery- bought a new battery about 8 months ago and something keeps draining it sometimes causing it to have hesitation and bogs out.
The tps throttle position sensor check engine code keeps going off while driving. When the tps code goes off the engine loses total power and you are unable to accelerate, which is a safety issue. We have replaced the throttle body but the issue is still remaining even after replacing different wires.
The battery keeps being drained when engine stays turned off. I researched and found many complaints regarding this 2003 silverado issue with many other owners. When I researched on a recall I found the recall number (02066) but it states that our truck VIN number is not included but then why have I bought 4 batteries just this year alone? please help because it no longer cranks up at all. I have to jump the truck every time I have to turn it on.
The speedometer stopped working,as well as the rpm indicator at approx. 26,000 miles driven on the pickup. . I have learned there was an extended warranty on this defect rather than a recall. I never received the letter advising me of this from gm, although I owned the pickup since 2006. I stopped driving the pickup because it was not safe to be unable to ascertain how fast I was I driving. I learned about this defect when I called a dealership to discuss the repair last month, as my vehicle was not usable. I then called gm and they said the extended warranty had expired. This is not fair, and has rendered my vehicle unsafe to drive without a high cost to me for their defective part. I request that they cover their defect.
