2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND OBSERVED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING OF 100 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER READING FLUCTUATED AT ANY SPEED BEING TRAVELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE SERVICE REPAIR WOULD BE AN ESTIMATED COST OF $800.00. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,700.

WE HAVE A 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 45K MILES ON IT. NOT LONG AFTER, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING UP. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF, RESTARTED AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS FINE. WE NOW HAVE 100K MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE SPEEDOMETER READS 120MPH ALL THE TIME. THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN A HUGE PROBLEM WITH CHEVY, BUT YET THEY AREN'T TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIPS CONTINUE TO MAKE $500-$800 ON EACH INCIDENT. WE'VE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND NOT ONE OF THEM WILL COVER IT. *TR

WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF. HAVE TO PULL FUSE TO GET WIPERS TO TURN OFF. I CANNOT RE-INSTALL THE FUSE UNLESS I STOP AND GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO DO THIS. IF I DO NOT PULL THE FUSE, THE WIPERS WILL EVENTUALLY START TO DAMAGE THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF THIS ONLINE, WITH NO DEFINITE FIX. TRUCK HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I HAVE OWNED 4 GMC PICKUPS AND HAVE COMPLAINED 2 TIMES ABOUT SPARE TIRES MOUNTED UNDER REAR FRAME THAT HAVE COME OFF ON THE HIGHWAY WITH OUT KNOWING WHERE FROM 1996-2004 ,I NOW HAVE ONE THAT I CANT GET OFF AND THE DEALER SAID THEY WILL CUT IT OFF AT MY COST YET YOU ARE CHARGING TOYOTA WITH THE SAME FAULT AND RECALL WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT OWN GM AND FORD PRODUCTS! WHY ARE WE LEFT IN THE COLD. YOU NEED TO DUE THE SAME FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BOUGHT AMERICAN MADE, WHAT CARS MY TIRES HAVE HIT WHO KNOWS ! *TR

ALMOST WENT OFF ROAD ON A CORNER, WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES ON IT. TOOK IT INTO LESSCWABS AND THEY SAID THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND HUBS WERE SHOT AND THE WHEEL WAS READY TO FALL OFF. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL CHEVY SILVERADOS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH EVEN LESS MILEAGE ON. CALLED CHEVY THEY SAID THEY HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL OR HELP WITH FIXING THE PROBLEM. IT COST APROX 900.00. TO FIX @ SCHAWBS. *TR

COMPLETE SUDDEN TIRE FAILURE SIGMA TIRE STAMPEDE RADIAL AS LT265R75/16, DOT UPW8 TWT 3206 CP G04L THE TIRE HAD ABOUT 28000 MILES ON IT WHILE MOUNTED ON MY CHEVROLET 2500 FOUR WHEEL DRIVE CREW CAB TRUCK RIGHT FRONT WHEEL, AND HAD 1/3 TO 1/2 OF THE ORIGINAL TREAD REMAINING. I WAS ON I-26 IN SOUTH CAROLINA TRAVELING AT ABOUT 70 MPH. I FELT A VERY SLIGHT VIBRATION, JUST SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL ROAD VIBRATION AND ABOUT 15 SECONDS LATER, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED. THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE BODY BETWEEN THE TWO STEEL BELTS. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, AND WAS ABLE TO BRING THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL WITHOUT HITTING ANYTHING, OR ROLLING OVER. THE TIRE WAS INFLATED TO MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATIONS, AND I HAD HIT NOTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE TREAD SEPARATION. I HAD STOPPED FOR FUEL ABOUT 20 MINUTES EARLIER, AND THE TIRES LOOKED NORMAL AT THAT TIME. I WAS NOT HAULING A LOAD, OR PULLING A TRAILER AT THE TIME. IN ROUGHLY A MILLION MILES OR DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HAD A TIRE FAIL LIKE THIS, AND DON'T EVER WANT ANOTHER FAILURE LIKE IT. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD SOME SORT OF WARNING OF AN INCIPIENT FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE ON THE TRUCK WHEN I BOUGHT IT ABOUT ONE AND ONE-HALF YEARS AGO, SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY WERE PURCHASED. I HAD THE TRUCK ALIGNED TWICE, AND THE TIRES ROTATED AS PART OF NORMAL MAINTENANCE. THE SEPARATED TREAD CAUSED ABOUT $4000 DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED SIGMA PRODUCT LIABILITY AND FILED A REPORT WITH THEM. *TR
