2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO AND I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DASH CLUSTER ODOMETER READING CORRECTLY. I FEEL IT A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU CAN NOT TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING WHILE DRIVING. IF YOUR CAUGHT GOING 20 MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT, IT'S CONSIDERED DANGEROUS ENRECLIMENT. AM I WRONG? THE ODOMETER READS INCORRECTLY EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY TRUCK. *TR

PROBLEM 1.THE PLUG THAT CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO MELTED AND STARTED SMOKING. I REPLACED IT AND 3 MONTHS LATER IT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. WITHOUT THE USE OF THE BLOWER MOTOR I CAN NOT USE THE HEAT,AC OR WINDOW DEFOGGER. THIS TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I SEARCH ONLINE I SEE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEIR PLUGS HAVE MELTED AND IN SOME CASES HAVE ALSO STARTED FIRES. NOT HAVING A WINDOW DEFOGGER IS VERY DANGEROUS. PROBLEM 2. THE HEATER BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR HAS STOPPED WORKING. WHAT THIS DID BEFORE THE PLUG MELTED WAS TO CONTROL THE TEMP OF THE AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS. WHEN IT STOPS WORKING LIKE IT DID TO ME WAS TO BLOW BURNING HOT AIR RIGHT IN MY FACE EVEN WITH THE AC ON. IMAGINE DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND HAVE THESE THINGS HAPPEN TO YOU. PLEASE MAKE GENERAL MOTORS RECALL THEIR PRODUCTS AND FIX THEM SO THIS PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN. THANK YOU. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH HE NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED THE INCORRECT SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,700 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,919. UPDATED 02/18/11 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED HE CONTACTED GM AND THEY REFERRED HIM TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE SPEEDOMETER FIXED AND IS WORKING CORRECTLY. UPDATED 02/23/11

IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ... VEHICLE SET CODES P-2761, P-0740, P-0753, P-0758, P-0785 ... I RESEARCHED FAILURES AND FOUND TO BE RELATED TO TRANSMISSION CODES CAUSED BY IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE...FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN DEFECT AND GM HAS A FIX LISTED TO ITS' DEALERS... THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY RELATED TO CHEVROLET TRUCKS BUT NEARLY ALL VEHICLES PRODUCED BY GM. NECESSARY PARTS WERE OBTAINED AND REPAIR MADE....NOT DONE BY GM...GM DEALER WANTED 845.00 TO MAKE REPAIR...PART COST 45.00, REST LABOR GM ALSO MADE CORRECTIONS TO THE FAULTS DURING THE 2005 MODEL YEAR. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 5.3 MOTOR Z71 PACKAGE. DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL GOES TO FULL HEAT, DEALER SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. FIXED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY. FOUND BLOGS ONLINE TO TROUBLE SHOOT EXACT PROBLEM AND FIX MYSELF. SOME PEOPLE REPORTED FIRES. EVEN WHEN AC OFF IT STILL BLOWS HOT AIR. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTARTING IT HAS BEEN WORKING. I DO ALOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND CANT ALWAYS PULL OFF AND RESTART THE MOTOR. BEING THAT HEAT STILL BLOWS WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND WONT STOP, PUTTING THE WINDOWS DOWN DOES NOTHING TO AID THIS PROBLEM. *TR
