My brake lines ruptured under the drivers seat by the abs box. I inspected all of the brake and transmission lines and they are all rusted badly and need replaced immediately. I was pulling my seadoo's when this happened and had to use the emergency brake to stop the truck. I have read a ton of the same complaints on the internet today. When is anyone going to make chevy replace all of the brake and transmission lines? this truck is only a 2003 and looks like a 1903 underneath. The whole frame and undercarriage is rusting badly. Please help. Thank you.
2003 chevy silverado - I have been having trouble with the speedometer fluctuating and oil pressure gauge going all the way up and all the way down. I did some research and found that chevy had a "special policy" which intels "this special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 7 years or 70,000 miles (110,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership". I have done lots of research and there is a problem with the "instrument panel cluster gauge needle function" in a lot of chevy's. That being stated why would there not be a recall on all?? I have only had this truck for around 2 years and never had a problem until now. The "special policy" stated "customers are being instructed to contact the dealership to arrange an appointment if they believe their vehicle has this condition". So the people that are now having the problem after this "special policy' runs out are having to pay around $385. 00 on there own to fix chevy's problem which I think is unfair. From what I was told by one of the chevy dealerships this is an ongoing problem they are having. Please help!!!!!!!!.
Reduce engine power message. 2003 chevy silverado. Driving down major 3 lane highway, message appears and trucks power goes to 15 mph. Tried to get into slower lane and off highway and was almost in a serious accident due to no power. Truck will not accelerate any faster than this. Has happened 3 times since. Major safety feature with Chevrolet. Other than dinger going off and immediately after that truck looses all power to accelerate. Can happen at any time. Codes are reading throttle positioning sensor. After doing some research on this it seems there are several other year and models doing same with people spending $1,000. 00 or more and problem not resolved. Has happened 3 times since. After unhooking battery for approx. 10 min. It will reset itself and message will be gone until it happens again.
Gm 2004 1500hd truck: gm can't fix the reduce engine power problem. The code that they can't fix keeps saying its the throttle body sensor. I have had gm dealer try to fix what this code is telling them but still have the problem. Based off research this is a major problem with many other gm truck owners. When this sensor light comes on & displays reduce engine power the truck basically shuts down. I've had this happen running in the left lane of a major hwy and almost got run over. Please have gm do something about this problem because I'm sure if it hasn't killed anyone yet it will. Only thing different between the Toyota problem and the gm problem is one speeds up and the other slows down to 20mph. As I have stated this problem happens a lot so don't pay attention to the incident date I had to enter.
Speedometer. May go to 65 mph sitting still. Works periodically and then suddenly will jumpt to 90 mph. This is a safety issue - especially when hauling grandchildren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have emailed gm three times with absolutely no response of any kind.
