ALL GAUGES ON MY 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 HAVE FAILED. FORMER CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED AND WON ON BEHALF OF TRUCK OWNERS. SUIT ONLY COVERS VEHICLES UNDER 80K MILES. MINE FAILED AT ABOUT 100K. DISCUSSED ISSUE WITH GM AND THEY WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. FOUND ON NHTSA WEB SITE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AT ABOUT THE SAME MILEAGE. THE CLUSTER IS A DEFECTIVE PART INSTALLED IN PRODUCTION AND SEEMS TO BE DESTINED TO FAIL. PART FAILURE CAUSES VEHICLE TO FAIL EMISSIONS AND THUS MAKES VEHICLE UNREGISTERED. PART COST MORE THAT $500 TO REPAIR. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AT THIS TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WITH 58,283 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR STATE INSPECTION AND FOUND THAT THE ROTORS ARE ALL RUSTED AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IN CHECKING THESE AT THE DEALER, I DISCOVERED THAT THE STEEL HAS A LOT OF CARBON IN IT. THE MANUFACTURER IS USING AN INFERIOR PRODUCT FOR THESE ROTORS. IN CHECKING THE ON LINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE NORMAL FOR GENERAL MOTORS, THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF IT AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE 100 MILES OR MORE THIS IS HAPPENING TO THESE VEHICLES. GENERAL MOTORS IS USING INFERIOR MATERIALS. *TR

WHEELS
I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THE FAILURE OF BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, 1 IN JAN09 AND 1 IN APR09. I THINK THESE BEARINGS SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER.
