2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. IN AUGUST 2006 MY OIL PRESSURE GAGE STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. IT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY READ NO OIL PRESSURE EVEN THOUGH THE OIL LEVEL WAS ADEQUATE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A FUEL SYSTEM SERVICING TO A GM DEALER IN SAN ANTONIO TX AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE OIL PRESSURE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS A PRESSURE SWITCH. I ASKED IT TO BE REPAIRED ALONG WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM SERVICING. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FAILED TO ATTEMPT A REPAIR ON THE OIL PRESSURE GAGE EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER ITEMS WERE REPAIRED. I ELECTED NOT TO LET THEM KEEP MY VEHICLE LONGER TO AFFECT THE REPAIR. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND ASKED IT TO BE REPAIRED. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WAS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $700 TO REPLACE. I ELECTED NOT TO HAVE IT REPLACED DUE TO THE COST. AT THIS TIME MY VEHICLE HAD 71,000 MILES. IN THE SUMMER OF 2007 MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO MALFUNCTION BY DISPLAYING THE WRONG SPEED OR STICKING AT ZERO. I AGAIN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO AGAIN SAID IT WAS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SHORTLY AFTER, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT WOULD REPLACE OR REPAIR THE MALFUNCTION FREE OF CHARGE ON ANY VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL GM DEALER TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED UNDER THIS SINCE IT ORIGINALLY MALFUNCTIONED WHEN THERE WAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONTACTED GM AND THEN TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS MORE THAN 70,000 MILES AND GM DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY WILL NOT PASS A STATE OF TEXAS SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. I AM MAKING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL. *TR

2003 SILVERADO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS FAILING. FIRST, 2 YRS AGO, IT WAS THE TACH FAILING NOW IT IS THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE OTHERS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY AT TIMES. I DID RECEIVE A LETTER FROM GM 2 WEEKS AGO WENT TO THE DEALER, THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE I HAVE 87000 MI ON IT. CALL GM AND THEY SAID IT IS UP TO THE DEALER. THAT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT! IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE? DID GM PUT IT TO US AGAIN? *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON CRUISE CONTROL, THE SPEEDO WILL START TO CLIMB TO OVER 120MHP. AFTER SEVERAL IGNITION CYCLES THE SPEEDO WILL COME BACK DOWN AND WORK FINE FOR AWHILE. THIS PROBLEM USUALLY OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. PROBLEM IS VERY INTERMITTENT-HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND ALWAYS CORRECTS ITSELF BEFORE I CAN GET IT IN FOR REPAIR- I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM- THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 30,000 MILES ON IT. DANGEROUS PROBLEM---WHEN TOWING HEAVY LOADS. *TR
