2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE ABS SYSTEM FAILS. I RESEARCHED AND I FOUND A RECALL UP TO 2003 MODEL FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I DO NOT THINK IT WAS CORRECTED IN THE 2004 MODEL. DISCONNECTED THE FUSE TO STOP THE PROBLEM BUT IT NOW IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO SELL THE VEHICLE AND THE ABS LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. THEY WANT $900 TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULE. *TR

THE TRUCK'S INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SPEEDOMETER, ALL THE GAUGES FAILED TO SHOW ACCURATE READINGS. THE ISSUE BEGAN AS A SPORADIC CONDITION. THE PANEL WOULD WORK SOME DAYS AND THEN NOT WORK ON OTHERS. IN ADDITION, WE EXPERIENCED THE SITUATION WHERE THE ENTIRE PANEL, INCLUDING ALL DASH LIGHTING AND DIGITAL DISPLAYS HAVE GONE OUT FOR DAYS AT A TIME. AS OF DECEMBER 2013, THE MAIN GAUGES ARE COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. WE ONLY HAVE THE WORKING SPEEDOMETER, NO OTHER GAUGES. WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW AND KEPT IT WELL MAINTAINED. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT OCCUR UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. PLEASE RESEARCH AND ADVISE. *TR

STOPPED TO GET GAS. TRUCK WAS IDLING WENT TO SHUT IGNITION SWITCH OFF. KEY COMES OUT WITHOUT LOCKING STEERING. WENT TO START TRUCK AND WHEN RUNNING COULD PULL KEY OUT OF IGNITION AND STILL RUNNING. NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE BEFORE. IGNITION SWITCH IS DOES NOT ALWAYS TURN WITHOUT JIGGLING(INTERMITTENT). SIMILAR IGNITION SWITCH NOT TURNING WITHOUT JIGGLING ON MY 2007 SATURN VUE([XXX]).I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT PECULIAR TO GM ! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR UPDATED 09/29/2014 *JS

I BOUGHT MY 2004 USED WITH 116,159 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THE BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE A/C AND HEATER WOULD ACT UP ON ITS OWN AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL IT HAS. I SMELLED ELECTRICAL WIRING BURNING AT DIFFERENT TIMES BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING BURNT IN THE WIRING AFTER INSPECTING THE WIRING UNDER THE DASH AND HOOD. ON FEB. 25,2014 I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE AND WHEN I SHUT MY SUBURBAN OFF THE BLOWER MOTOR STAYED ON. I TRIED TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF BUT THE MOTOR STAYED ON. I WENT IN THE STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT 1/2 HOUR LATER THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING. NOW EVERY TIME I TURN THE SUBURBAN OFF THE BLOWER KEEPS RUNNING SO I HAD TO PULL THE FUSE OUT SO IT WOULD NOT RUN THE BATTERY DOWN. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER VEHICELS. AFTER FINDING OUT THE PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE IS CALLED A BLOWER RELAY RESISTOR MODULE I CALLED THE PARTS STORE TO GET THE PART. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET THE PART AND TO TRY THE DEALERSHIP. THE CHEVROLET DEALER HAD THE PART AND I ASKED IF THERE HAPPENED TO BE A RECALL ON THE PART. THEY WANTED MY VIN. # SO THEY COULD CHECK MY SUBURBAN AND SAID THAT MY SUBURBAN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN 'THAT' RECALL. THAT SOUND ALITTLE WEIRD THE WAY HE SAID IT SO I GOT ON THE WEB AND CHECKED MYSELF. THERE IS A RECALL # 10240 THAT DESCRIBES THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH OTHER 2004 SUBURBANS THAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY SUBURBAN TO THE "T". IT SAID IN THE RECALL THAT THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A FIRE. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THE RECALL IS EXPANDED TO VEHICLES,THE SAME MAKE,MODEL AND YEAR IS INCLUDED!!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONED AND ALL OF THE GAUGES PROVIDED INACCURATE READINGS. IN ADDITION, THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM WOULD ENGAGE INDEPENDENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI- LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE CLEANED AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,800. UPDATED 3/28/14*CN *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AND THE SECURITY LIGHT FLASHES SHOWING THAT THERE IS A PASSLOCK SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE SYSTEM SENSOR THINKS THAT IT HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH AND SHUTS DOWN THE STARTER. AFTER SOME PERIOD OF TIME USUALLY ABOUT 30 MINUTES IT WILL RESET AND THE VEHICLE WILL START AGAIN. AS TIME GOES BY THE PROBLEM BECOMES MORE FREQUENT AND THE TIME OF RESET TAKES LONGER, UNTIL AT SOME POINT IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. CHEVY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR PASSLOCK SYSTEM, BUT A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE COMPUTER SHOWS THAT IT HAS BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM. BEING STRANDED MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A BIG DEAL, BUT IN SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS, OR MEDICAL EMERGENCY IT CAN BE LIFE OR DEATH. SINCE CHEVY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM THEY DON'T SEND OUT INFORMATION TO THEIR SHOPS ABOUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO CONSUMERS ARE SPENDING HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY ON UNNECESSARY PARTS AND LABOR. THIS IS THE THIRD ELECTRICAL PROBLEM MY VEHICLE HAS HAD, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOING UP IN FLAMES. *TR
