THE ABS KICKS IN AT LOW SPEEDS TO WHERE IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND HAVE A GRINDING FEEL AT THE DOOR PEDAL EVEN AFTER HAVING THE BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED. THE DASH CLUSTER GAUGES STOP WORKING ONE BY ONE,ONLY THE HEAT GAUGE WORK OFF AND ON. THE ENGINE BEGINS TO OVER HEAT WHEN SITTING IN IDLE 10 MINUTES, SOMETIMES 5 MINUTES DEPENDING ON HOW HOT IT IS,AND THE AIR CONDITIONING STARTS TO BLOW HOT AIR BUT IT BEGINS TO COOL OFF ONCE YOU START BACK DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE WATER PUMP CHECKED,SOME HAD THE THERMOSTAT REPLACED AND IT STILL DOES IT ONLY IN THE SUMMER

SPONTANEOUS FRONT AND REAR BRAKE FAILURE ON A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LT PICKUP TRUCK. I WAS PULLING UP TO MY DRIVEWAY AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I TRIED TO PUMP THE BRAKE WITH NO SUCCESS. NO PRIOR BRAKE LEVEL OR ABS OR PROPORTIONING VALVE WARNING LIGHTS WERE INDICATED. I APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND CAME TO A STOP. ONCE I PARKED THE TRUCK I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING DOWN BELOW THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I CRAWLED UNDER TO DISCOVER THAT ALL FOUR STEEL BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND FLUID WAS STEADILY COMING OUT. A LARGE PUDDLE UNDER THE TRUCK HAD ACCUMULATED OVER A SHORT TIME. I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL LINES WERE ALSO SEVERELY RUSTED IN THE SAME AREA. I AM 65 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER MY LIFETIME (INCLUDING CLASSIC CARS), BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD A BRAKE LINE RUST AS BAD AS THESE. I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WASN'T ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO MAKE A QUICK STOP FOR TRAFFIC AHEAD. MORE SERIOUSLY THAN THE RUSTED LINES IS THE FACT THAT NO PRIOR WARNING WAS GIVEN BEFORE TOTAL FAILURE. DUAL MASTER CYLINDERS AND ISOLATED FRONT AND REAR LINES DID NOT PERFORM AS DESIGNED. I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET TODAY AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I CAN JUST IMAGINE OTHER PEOPLE/FAMILIES WHO WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY AS ME IF THIS CONTINUES WITHOUT SOMETHING BEING DONE TO WARN AND CORRECT THE SITUATION. THIS SHOULD BE ON THE NEWS AND GM SHOULD BE INVOLVED AND RESOLVING THE ISSUE. THANKS *TR

MY VEHICLE READ 0 MPH WHEN I AM DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THERE ARE TIMES IT WILL SHOOT TO 120 MPH AND OTHERS IT WILL BE IN BETWEEN REGARDLESS OF MY ACTUALLY SPEED. ADDITIONALLY, THE GAS GAUGE GOES PAST FULL WHEN I AM NEAR EMPTY AND VICE VERSA. SOMETIMES THE GAS GAUSE STICKS IN THE MIDDLE SO I NEVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR GOING OVER THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN MY GAUGE TOLD ME I WAS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY GAUGE TOLD ME I WAS 3/4 FULL WHEN I WAS ON EMPTY. I KNOW AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE AND VEHICLES WHO WERE LESS THAN 80K MILES OR GOT FIXED PRIOR TO JULY 2011 THEN THEY WERE COVERED. HOWEVER, NOTHING WAS DONE FOR THE VEHICLES AFTER THAT DATE. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS GM OWNERS WITH TRUCKS RANGING FROM 2003-2007 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WE ARE BEING FORCED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED OUT OF POCKET FOR OVER $500. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND ALL OF THE VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ON MY CAR AND WAS TOLD BY GM THAT THE DEALER DIDNT SUBMIT THE NEW OWNER INFORMATION DESPITE ME BUYING FROM A GM DEALER. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO ENFORCE THIS SAFTEY ISSUE AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO BE COVERED BY GM NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS.

VEHICLE SPEEDS UP, SURGES, THEN STARTS TO BUCK AND YOU GET TRANSMISSION LASH. IT HAPPENS AT ROAD AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 45 OR 55 MPH, AND CAN/DOES HAPPEN IN OD OR IN 3RD GEAR. (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). I HAVE HAD A THIRD PARTY "SCAN" THE SYSTEM, AND I GET "NO" CODES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES "NOT" COME ON. I AM ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AT WILL. THE VEHICLE IS A 2004 K1500 WITH 46,500 MILES. ITS PRIMARY USE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IS TO TOW A 19 FOOT MASTERCRAFT FROM APRIL TO NOVEMBER. MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURES' RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES. ORGINAL TIRES, AIR AND OIL FILTERS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AS NEEDED. NO AFTERMARKET DEVICES INSTALLED. I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF VERBAL ENCOUNTERS WITH CHEVY DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY SEEM TO BE CLUELESS. BUT ARE WILLING TO TROUBLESHOOT AT MY EXPENSE, PLUS COSTS OF ALL PARTS AND SERVICE HOURS. THIS COULD $1000.00 OR MORE....VERY FRUSTRATING. THIS IS A HAZARD, ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILIAR ISSUES ON THE INTERNET BLOG SITES, WITH NO CONCRETE ANSWERS. GM IS SCAMMING THE PUBLIC, AND THE GM SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE PASSING THE COSTS TO THE CONSUMERS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED. IT DID NOT GO BELOW 35 MPH AND READ INCORRECTLY AT SPEEDS. DEALER STATED IT WILL COST $500 TO REPAIR. CHEVROLET FORUM BOARDS ON THE INTERNET INDICATED MANY FAILURES FROM 2003 TO PRESENT FOR ALL CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCKS. LACK OF A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER WAS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT THE MANUFACTURER' S EXPENSE. *AK

SPEEDOMETER DRIVE MOTOR FAILURE, 2004 CHEVROLET 1500 PU. WHEN DRIVE MOTOR FAILS THE SPEEDOMETER WILL FREEZE AT A RANDOM SPEED. SINCE THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK, YOU MUST CALCULATE YOUR SPEED FROM A START POSITION OF WHERE IT WAS STUCK. EXAMPLE: IF THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 70 MPH, AND YOUR DESIRED SPEED IS 45 MPH. YOUR SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 115 MPH. IF YOUR DESIRED SPEED IS 70 MPH, YOUR SPEEDOMETER WILL PEG OUT AT 110 MPH. IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK WHEN REDUCING YOUR SPEED, YOU COULD PANIC, AND ATTEMPT TO REDUCE SPEED TOO RAPIDLY POTENTIALLY CAUSING A REAR END ACCIDENT. WHEN DRIVING THROUGH MULTIPLE SPEED ZONES YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CALCULATE YOUR SPEED, ASSUMING THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS TRACKING ACCURATELY. IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MUST BE REPLACED. MY COST WAS $386.00. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SLOWLY RESET, EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, BY 5 MPH. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AS A FREQUENT PROBLEM, YET REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE LOCAL DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK SAID THEY REPLACE 3-4 PER MONTH. WHERE I HAD THE REPAIR MADE, THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED A VENDOR THAT DOES IT SO ROUTINELY THEY HAVE A 24 HOUR EXCHANGE TURN-AROUND.*AK
