ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVEADO BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING EARLY THIS SPRING, AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. CURRENTLY WHEN PARKED IT REGISTERS BETWEEN 50-120 MPH, THEN PEGS WHEN DRIVING. SO I NEVER KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. THE REPLACEMENT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER COSTS NEARLY $600.00 FOR THE PART ONLY, NOT INCLUDING LABOR TO REPLACE IT. OF COURSE NONE OF THIS IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, OR EVEN THE EXTRA WARRANTY WE PURCHASED WHEN WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE/REVERSE AFTER START UP, THE ON BOARD DIAGNOSTICS REPORTS "SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM". A COMPLETE BRAKE INSPECTION HAS BEEN PERFORMED WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY TYPE OF ISSUE. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. IF THE DIAGNOSTICS REPORTS THIS FAILURE, I CAN TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS AND RE-START THE VEHICLE WITH NO FAILURE REPORT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, MELBOURNE CHEVROLET, MELBOURNE, FL, THEY REPORTED THAT THEY WERE AWARE THAT IF A VEHICLE REMAINED IDLE FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME, THIS TYPE OF CODE WOULD BE A RESULT OF SALT WATER CORROSION. I HAVE 28,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT GM HAS HAD SIMILAR RECALLS ON THE SILVERADO'S BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR/AREA. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE COASTED FOR THREE MINUTES BEFORE IT STOPPED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT APPLIED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME WITHOUT FUNCTIONING BRAKES. HE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A SPLIT LEFT ROTOR. THE ROTOR WAS REPLACED. THE DEFECTIVE ROTOR IS AVAILABLE, IF NEEDED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 68,000. UPDATED 12/12/2007 *BF UPDATED 12/12/07

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
MY 04 CHEVY SILVERADO SS HAS LOST THE GAS GAGE AND THE RPM GAGE IS STICKING. THE ONLY GAS GAGE THAT I HAVE IS THE DIGITAL ONE. THE RPM GAGE HAS STARTED STICKING. WHEN THE GAS GAGE STARTED STICKING I TALKED TO THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID A GAS CLEANER THEY SOLD WOULD MOST LIKELY FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE DONE TWO TREATMENTS WITH NO LUCK. TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY THE RPM GAGE IS STICKING. BY THE SOUNDS OF ALL THE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IT WILL BE STUCK SOON. HOW MAY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN TO GET A OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE PROBLEM FIXED? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
TRUCK CUT OUT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY; ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED. LATER WHILE TRYING TO GET HOME IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. CHEVY SERVICE DEALER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS-- HE TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO A BROKEN WIRE PRIMARY AT COIL CONNECTOR. THAT THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. PART WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $141.37. IF THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE WHY IS NOT RECALLED? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHILE DRIVING AROUND 65-70MPH MY SPEEDOMETER STUCK. WHILE SLOWING DOWN AFTER REACHING SPEEDS OF NEARLY 70MPH, I REALIZED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT BACKING OFF OF THIS SPEED. I THEN DID NOT KNOW HOW FAST I WAS DRIVING. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOW STUCK AT 67MPH. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THIS ACTUAL UNIT FOR $500. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME ISSUE ALL OVER FORUMS ON THE WEB. *TR
