general problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

We have had a significant amount of rust to the entire underside, trailer hitch, and both bumpers on this truck. To prevent it from rusting away, we had to have the cab and bed undercoated. We also had to replace the gas lines, as they were rotted out, which posed potential gas loss and safety issues.

Chevy silverado 5. 3 l engine. Reduced engine power message is displayed. Vehicle will not run above 20 mph. Must pull over and turn off engine and restart. This is a known problem by gm. Dealer tried twice to repair the problem but could not. I replaced the accelerator sensor and the throttle body but the problem still exists. This is very dangerous when it happens on the highway. This has been going on with my truck for about 18 months. Again, no support from gm. Many people are having this problem. There should be a recall.

Just bought a 2003 chevy silverado 4x4 with a 5. 3lt engine . Problems with the fuel gauge, it worked when test drove at dealer and after buying the truck it stopped on the way home!!!! been told it will cost hundreds to fix !!!! after researching on the net I have found that this is a common problem with gm trucks,and not only with 2003 trucks but many of other years!!!!!!!! and also some car models now with all the problems people are having this cannot be a coincidence!! if you want proof just read the gm forums it's amazing how many people are having gas gauge problems !!!!!!!!! I do not understand why there is not a recall on this, as well as all the people on a number of gm chat forums, everyone is wondering why gm (government motors)have not sent out a recall either !!!!!!!! I did not buy a truck for thousands so I could turn around and spend hundreds to get it fixed, when it's actually a design problem !!!!!!!! they do a recall for the gm tailgates but not for something as important as a fuel gauge ?!?!?!?!?! do some research and you will understand what I am talking about !!! thanks for your time and I hope something can be done about this expensive problem soon.
