| Electronic Stability Control problems |
Purchased the truck from car geeks and they said it was a great truck and we would have no problem towing our fifth wheel trailer. Well we took it on a trip to phoenix from tucson and we noticed that the truck was not handling very well when we got home I noticed that the passenger side tire was gouged out all the way around the inside bead of the tire also noticed that only the upper control arm had been replaced and nothing else. All of the front suspension was in really bad condition also. Along with the steering you can only turn the steering wheel a little ways.
Been having problems slowly with the battery running out because something is still running in the vehicle but everything is off. The gas gauge gear control lighting on the panel door on the passenger side will not lock speedometer is not working gas gauge is not working was checked by a mechanic and he address that something is not constant running even though everything is turned off that cause the battery to run down when it is off. Also the lights don't light on the right side stays on and never goes off when running the vehicle. I noticed this on a lot of 2500 chevy trucks. We have taken this vehicle in to be check. Please help us to resolve this problem as soon as possible. Thank you for your time. Looking forward to hearing back from you sun.
With my 03 chevy silvarado 2500 hd this reduced power engine light comes on. Shuts the vehicle off to 30 mph. This happens on a regular basis. Does not matter where your driving. Especially on a highway. The truck will jerk one way or the other then u have no speed no control for a little bit . Very dangerous. Have to pull over when you gain control shut the truck off. Then wait about a couple minutes then start the truck and off IL go. Happen about 5-6 times a day now. This problem can not be fixed,even if you go to a dealer they will replace all the sensors for the throttle you will spend a small fortune and the problem still persists. This is a serious problem and a very dangerous problem and happens to many of these trucks. Look it up on youtube or google it. Im very surprised not to see this on the complaint board. Please if you have this problem post it so it can be recalled. I travel with my dog all the time and if something happens to him it would be very traumatic to me. What if you have children or guests in your truck. Its wrong that this issue is not being addressed. I have complained to this company and also to Chevrolet to no avail. Im worried someone has to be hurt bad or killed to have this matter taken seriously. Wow the truck has a recall for the tailgate wires. The bumpers are crapp and rusty junk but no recall there as well. Please take this serious and all complain about it cause this is very dangerous. I hate this and I refuse to spend money on some defect in the electrical system. This needs to be recalled an absolute must. I know im not the only one so please post your complaints about this reduced engine power light that randomly comes on without warning. I know you would not want to be towing with this problem. Also you will not be able to resell this vehicle honestly. You will have to lie to someone and if they get hurt or you get sued that will not be good.
