I have a 2003 chevy Silverado 1500 and I want to report the defects I've noticed with my truck. First of all, the seat belt tends to jam for no reason. I was sitting at the intersection when I tried to lean over and the seatbelt was jammed. I could not move at all. This has happened several times to me and some friends. Another problem is the a/c system. My truck has dual control system and the drivers side will blow hot air while the passengers side blows sold air all while the settings are both in cold air. Turning off the ignition and restarting seems to temporarily fix the problem but within 20 minutes I am back to square one. This problem is extremely common as I have heard many other people complain of the exact same problem. Finally, the other issue is the speedometer. The speedometer seems to work only when it wants too. I had this problem about 2 yrs after I bought it and I experience this more often now. Sometimes other gauges will not work either such as the battery and rpm gauge.
