2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN NOVEMBER IN 2007, I HAD THE TRUCK APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AND THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED BOUNCING AROUND AND IN ABOUT A WEEK LATER IT STUCK AT 117 MPH AND HAS NOT MOVED SINCE. THEN AT ABOUT 110,000 MILES THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD GO OUT, ALL THE GAUGES AND THE ODOMETER, THE SIGNAL LIGHTS AND THE BACK LIGHTING STILL WORKS, BUT NOTHING ELSE THE FUEL GAUGE, OIL GAUGE, TRANSMISSION TEMP GAUGE, TACHOMETER NONE OF THESE WILL WORK NOW. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW HOW IT IS THAT THIS IS A HUGE OVER ALL PROBLEM OF THE VEHICLES IN THE CERTAIN YEAR, AND MODEL. BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE LESS THAN 70,000 MILES THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT STAND UP TO THE MISTAKE AND FIX IT, I UNDERSTAND THAT I BOUGHT IT USED BUT ITS AND ON GOING PROBLEM IN THE CLUSTER FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES, I THINK IT SHOULD BE HANDLED BY GMC. I HAVE OWNED 8 GMC VEHICLES AND USE TO THINK I WOULD NOT BY ANYTHING ELSE, BUT MY MIND IS ABOUT TO CHANGE OVER THIS ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE ATTITUDE I HAVE GOTTEN FROM THE DEALERSHIPS AND EMPLOYEES ABOUT THE ISSUE. *TR

I'VE HAD IT LESS THAN 1 YEAR, AND HAS UNDER 90,000 MILES. I LEFT MY HOUSE AND GOT 1/4 MILE DOWN THE STREET AND THE ENTIRE CAB OF THE TRUCK FILLED WITH SMOKE. HAD TO CALL 911 AND HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT COME TO THE SCENE. AN ELECTRICAL FIRE ABOVE THE HEAD LINER KILLED THE ELECTRONICS IN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. NO LIGHTS, POWER SEATS, RADIO, DASH CLUSTER, EXTERNAL LIGHTS AND SIGNALS, HORN, WINDOWS,NOTHING WORKS, ENGINE WONT START. THE FIRE APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED NEXT TO THE ON STAR SPEAKER IN THE HEADLINER. *TR

I HAVE A CHEVY SILVERADO 03, 2500HD AND I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND WIRE HARNESS THAT CONNECTS TO IT. I RECENTLY CHANGED A BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER BACK IN SEPTEMBER, NOW HERE IS DECEMBER AND THE SAME RESISTOR HAD BLOWN AGAIN. SO I REPLACED WITH NEW ONE, AND NOW THE WIRE HARNESS THAT CONNECTS TO IT IS HEATING UP TO APPOINT THAT YOU CAN SMELL BURNING WIRES. I HAD CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON A LOT OF GM VEHICLES AND WANT TO CHARGE ME $160 TO CHANGE THE BAD WIRE HARNESS AND BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. I DON'T UNDER STAND WHY THIS IS NOT RECALLED FOR POSSIBLE BEING ABLE TO START A FIRE UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. THANK YOU *TR
