2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hd

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER SUDDENLY WENT ON OUR 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO. GMC SUPPOSEDLY OFFERED A VOLUNTARY WARRANTY EXTENSION, BUT TOLD CUSTOMERS NOT TO TAKE TRUCK TO DEALERS UNLESS THE ISSUE WAS PRESENT. WE HAVE 86,800 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THE ODOMETER AND BATTERY GAUGE ARE BROKEN. IT NOW SAYS WE ARE GOING 20MPH WHEN WE ARE PARKED! GMC MADE US PAY $45 FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR WILL COST $415. GMC DENIES COVERAGE FOR THIS ISSUE, BASED ON THEIR POLICY REGARDING MILES. WE DO NOT THINK TRUCK WILL PASS INSPECTION UNLESS WE GET REPAIRS DONE , AND WE ALSO THINK NOT KNOWING SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING OR THE STATUS OF YOUR BATTERY COULD POSE POTENTIAL SAFETY RISKS. WE ALSO WANT TO ADVISE OTHERS TO GET IT DONE BEFORE PROBLEM OCCURS. *TR

THE GAUGES HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. IT STARTED WITH THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND NOW NONE OF THEM ARE WORKING. WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $500.00 TO REPLACE TO DEFECTED PART AND THAT GM ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 70,000 MILES. WHY NOT A RECALL??? WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT ARE HERE, THEY SHOULD RECALL THIS PART AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS ESPECIALLY IF THEY WANT A BAIL OUT. *TR

SPEEDOMETER JUST QUIT WORKING, JUMPS FROM 10 TO 70+. SHOWS A MINIMUM OF 10 MPH PARKED. NOT EXACTLY SAFE TO NOT HAVE A CLUE HOW FAST YOUR GOING. I SEARCHED ON THE NET SUSPECTING AN ISOLATED PROBLEM, BUT FOUND THIS HAS AFFECTED 8 TO 10 MODELS FOR 4 PLUS YEARS, ARE YOU KIDDING ME. JUST ONE OF THOUSANDS WITH THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM!!!!! *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500HD, MY PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE HEATED SEATS COMING ON AND GOING OFF BY THEIR SELF. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. NOW MY TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I THINK I HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT DEFECTED INSTRUMENT PANEL FROM CHEVROLET THAT REQUIRED REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BUT I CAN NOT FIND ANY INFORMATION ON THAT. I WOULD LIKE GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE IT CONTINUES SHORTING OUT THE REST OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

SPEEDOMETER WILL OCCASIONALLY READ FROM 5 TO 30 MPH FROM TRUE SPEED. WHEN THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS, STOPPING THE TRUCK WILL NOT CAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER TO GO TO 0 MPH AS EXPECTED BUT WILL READ, FOR INSTANCE, 25 MPH. TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE WHILE PARKED WILL MAKE THE SPEEDOMETER READ APPROXIMATELY 4 MPH CLOSER TO ZERO EACH TIME. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS CAUSED ME TO DRIVE AT INAPPROPRIATE SPEED MANY TIMES. *TR

I PURCHASED THE TRUCK USED WITH 83,000 MILES IN AUGUST OF 2007. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE WATER TEMP GAUGE MOVED ALL THE WAY AROUND AND THEN WENT BACK TO ZERO AND STOPPED WORKING. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK FOR A FEW DAYS AND STARTED WORKING AGAIN. BUT FOR HOW LONG? AND NOW I'VE HEARD GM ISSUED AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY" JUST FOR THE GAUGES AND MUST HAVE UNDER 70,000 MILES INSTEAD OF A RECALL. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON 2003 CHEV SILVERADO 1500HD IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. INSTRUMENTS READ WRONG OR DO NOT WORK AT ALL. BROUGHT TRUCK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST OVER $700.00 TO FIX AND COULD NOT AFFORD IT. RECEIVED NOTICE FROM GM LAST WEEK SAYING THEY WOULD COVER UP TO 70,000 MILES, MY TRUCK HAS MORE THAN THAT NOW, BUT PROBLEM STARTED AT 50,000 MILES. GM SHOULD ISSUE A FULL RECALL AND TAKE CARE OF THIS HAZARD. *TR
