I just replaced the battery in my 2004 chevy Silverado 1500 with only 97,000 miles on it, and i went to drive it down the road and the vehicle now loses power and cuts off making a left turn.. It did this twice and i parked it.. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE in my opinion.. PLEASE investigate the issue and report back to me please..

THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. I CAN BE AT A RED LIGHT AT COMPLETE STOP & IT STATES I AM DOING 60, WHEN I ACCELERATE IT GOES TO 100, WHEN I KNOW I AM ONLY DOING 10-15 MPH. I AM 70 YEARS OLD ON A FIXED INCOME. I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL AND I NOW HAVE AROUND 102,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PART FOR $500- $600. GM SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THESE AT FULL COST!

WE HAD A RECALL ON THE HARNESS A FEW YEAR AGO, AROUND APRIL 2011 OR 2012 THE TRUCK WOULD NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION AT THE TIME. I HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE ALREADY. CHEVROLET MANUFACTURE REIMBURSED US.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL GAUGES QUIT WORKING. TRUCK HAS LITTLE LESS THAN 14,000 MILES ON IT. THROUGH INTERNET SEARCH DISCOVERED THAT A SPECIAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ONE. NOTICED THAT IT ONLY COVERS 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES FOR GM TO REPLACE. I AM WELL UNDER THE 70,000 MILES AND FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY GM. SPEEDOMETER WAS THE FIRST GAUGE TO QUIT WORKING. ALL SERVICE ON VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY GM DEALERSHIP TO DATE. DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO REPAIR THIS AT MY OWN COST.

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LS 1500 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HEATER ELECTRICAL FAILURES. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE STEPPER MOTORS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ARE GUARANTEED TO FAIL RESULTING IN NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING OR ANY OTHER GAUGE SUCH AS FUEL, TEMPERATURE OR OIL PRESSURE. GM REFUSED TO FIX PROBLEM WHEN STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I FIXED THE FIRST 2 STEPPER MOTOR FAILURES MYSELF, NOW AT 268,XXX MILES THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH LEAVES ME WITH NO FUNCTION OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND LOSS OF HVAC BLOWER FUNCTION. IT IS NOW WINTER HERE IN MICHIGAN, VEHICLE PROBLEMS STARTED WHEN IT WAS WINTER WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE FAILED THE FIRST TIME. NOW, THE HEATER FAN AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAVE FAILED AT THE SAME TIME! THE LAW REQUIRES A SPEEDOMETER! THIS SHOULD BE MADE A MANDATORY REPLACEMENT OF ALL INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS REGARDLESS OF MILES OR AGE OF THE VEHICLE. 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LS 1500 THAT HAS THE FAILED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HEATER BLOWER PROBLEMS. AS A GM STOCK HOLDER I DEMAND ACTION BE TAKEN TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS IN ALL AFFECTED GM VEHICLES AT NO COST. AS IT STANDS NOW, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RECTIFIED AT NO COST TO ME!. LOYAL GM CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BOUGHT GM VEHICLES ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY SHOULD HAVE THESE PROBLEMS RESOLVED AT "NO COST" REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE OR AGE OF THE VEHICLE MILEAGE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AFFECTED. I AM ALSO A NATIVE BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN. LETS KICK GM'S BEHIND!

A FEW MONTHS AGO 2 OF THE SEAT BELTS ON THE MIDDLE ROW SEATS OF MY VEHICLE BECAME STUCK SO THEY ARE UNABLE TO BE PULLED OUT LONG ENOUGH TO REACH TO BE CLIPPED IN. AROUND 2010 SEVERAL OF THE GAUGE NEEDLES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OF MY 2004 CHEVY TAHOE STARTED TO STOP WORKING. FROM 2010 TILL 2015 I TRIED TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES TO GET IT LOOK AT BUT BY THE TIME I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN SO I WAS ADVISE TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT WAS NOT WORKING. A COUPLE MONTHS AGO WHEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL SHOP WHERE I HAVE PAID $300 TO TRY TO GET IT FIX, HOWEVER THE ELECTRICIAN FOUND A REPORT IN REGARDS TO MY CAR'S PROBLEM AND ADVISE ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEEK REPAIRS AT NO COST. I THEN TOOK IT TO RON TONKIN CHEVROLET ON 8/10/2015 LOCATED AT 122ND AVE AND WAS TOLD THAT NO RECALLS WERE FOUND FOR THIS ISSUE JUST A NOTICE AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT GM TO SEEK COST ASSISTANCE. ON 8/11/2015 I CALLED GM AT (800)630-2438 AND TALKED TO A REP, THEN A SENIOR ADVISOR AND WAS TOLD THAT MY REQUEST WAS DENIED AND SO I REQUESTED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOVE THE SENIOR ADVISOR. I WAS TOLD THAT I WILL GET A CALL IN THE NEXT 24-48 HRS BUT SINCE I DIDN'T GET A CALL I CALLED THEM BACK ON 8/17/2014 AND WAS TOLD BY A SUPERVISOR THAT MY REQUEST IS DENIED BECAUSE THE SMART CARE COVERAGE ENDED IN 2011 AND I SHOULD HAD FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE NOTICE SENT TO VEHICLE OWNER BEFORE 2011 TO GET MY INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES AND SEAT BELTS REPAIR. I EXPLAINED THEM THAT I DID NOT RECEIVED THAT NOTICE BUT THEY CLAIMED THAT IT WAS SENT TO ME AND FOR THAT REASON NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. I CONSIDER THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY MATTER AND THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO COVER THE COST FOR THE REPAIRS.

A MONTH OR TWO AGO THE HEATING SYSTEM STAYED BLOWING WHILE IN OFF POSITION AND EVEN WHILE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, KEPT KILLING THE BATTERY SO IT HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED.

THE GAS GAUGE BECAME VERY INACCURATE AND THEN STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. THEN THE ALTERNATOR GAUGE STOPPED BEING ACCURATE. WORKS SOMETIME AND OTHERS IT INDICATES MAX AMPS. CHECKED WITH A METER AND THE CHARGE, WITH MOTOR RUNNING IS 14.2. MY BROTHER HAD A 2003 WHEN THE SAME HAPPEN, COST HIM 400.00 TO HAVE INSTRUMENT PACKAGE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT PACKAGE.

I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CHEVY SILVERADOS AND HAVE HAD GOOD EXPERIENCES SO FAR. I NOTICED BACK IN 2013 THAT MY FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING CORRECTLY - NEEDLE GONE CRAZY. ALL THE OTHER GAUGES WERE PERFECT. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A BAD FUEL SENSOR AND THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CLUSTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. (OVER $500) I JUST CONTINUE TO RESET MY TRIPOMETER WHEN I FUEL UP NOW RATHER THAN SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DASHBOARD CONCERNS. MAYBE SOME DEFECTIVE PARTS????? ANYWAYS, SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES, THE FRONT STRUTS, THE WATER PUMP, AND RECENTLY THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINES AT $1200 DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION. STILL HAVE NOT REPLACED THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER AS I AM WAITING FOR THE NEXT FAILURE. MY OTHER TRUCKS DID NOT SEEM TO FAIL AS MUCH AS SOON. MAY BE LOOKING AT THAT NEW ALUMINUM F150 SOON.

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.

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!!!!!!
