2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED INTERMITTENTLY, BUT THE FAILURE BECAME FREQUENT, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES IT BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR HAD FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 07V521000 ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; THEY AGREED TO CALL HIM AT A LATER DATE TO INFORM HIM IF THEY WERE GOING TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

I NOTICED THAT THE WAS A LEAK UNDER MY TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND TO MY SURPRISE IT WAS A BRAKE LINE AND AS I STARTED LOOKING UNDER THE TRUCK ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE VISUALLY IN SIMILAR SHAPE. THIS IS ON A 2003 SILVERADO WITH 62000 MILES, SO I AM NOW REPLACING ALL THE LINES BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T SEE THE DRIP IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT WITH A 7200 POUND TRUCK. *TR

I HAVE A CHEVY SILVERADO 03, 2500HD AND I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND WIRE HARNESS THAT CONNECTS TO IT. I RECENTLY CHANGED A BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER BACK IN SEPTEMBER, NOW HERE IS DECEMBER AND THE SAME RESISTOR HAD BLOWN AGAIN. SO I REPLACED WITH NEW ONE, AND NOW THE WIRE HARNESS THAT CONNECTS TO IT IS HEATING UP TO APPOINT THAT YOU CAN SMELL BURNING WIRES. I HAD CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON A LOT OF GM VEHICLES AND WANT TO CHARGE ME $160 TO CHANGE THE BAD WIRE HARNESS AND BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. I DON'T UNDER STAND WHY THIS IS NOT RECALLED FOR POSSIBLE BEING ABLE TO START A FIRE UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. THANK YOU *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY 2500 SILVERADO WITH THE 6 LITER V8. 2 YEARS AGO I NOTICED A TICKING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER LOOKING CLOSER I FOUND A BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 130,000 MILES ON IT. A COUPLE MONTHS LATER WHILE CHANGING OIL I FOUND ANOTHER BROKEN BOLT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS YEAR WHILE CHANGING PLUGS I FOUND ANOTHER BROKEN BOLT ON THE LEFT SIDE. I WAS LOOKING ON THE INTERNET TO GET SOME TIPS ON FIXING THE PROBLEM WHEN I CAME ACROSS A UTUBE VIDEO BY CARQUESTIONS AND FOUND OUT THIS IS NOT JUST BAD LUCK ON MY PART IT IS A VERY WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT BY GM. THIS IS NOT AN EASY FIX AND TO GET IT DONE IS MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY NOW BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IT HAS CREATED WITH THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS WAS NOT THE RESULT OF ANY ACTIONS OF MINE. I HAVE DONE THE MAINTENANCE TO MAINTAIN THIS VEHICLE. GM NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
