I HAVE A 2003 GMC SIERRA AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 45-60 MPH, AND GOES UP PAST THE 120 MPH MARK WHEN IN MOTION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, AND FROM A SEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS FOUND ON MANY OTHER 2003-2006 GM TRUCKS. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY DUE TO EXPIRED WARRANTIES FOR MANY OTHER GM TRUCK OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS FAULTY SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM, AND THE EXPENSIVE COST TO REPAIR/REPLACE. THANK YOU. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD MY SPEEDOMETER WAS SHOWING 120MPH AND I WAS ONLY RUNNING 75MPH. WHEN I STOP AND SHUT OFF MY VEHICAL THE SPEEDOMETER READS 45MPH INSTEAD OF 0MPH. IF YOU SWITCH THE IGNISTION OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES IT WILL EVENTUALLY GO BACK TO 0MPH. I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH ON IT AND FOUND THIS WEB SITE WWW.TOPIX.NET. I FOUND OUT PRETTY QUICK THIS IS NOTHING NEW. THERE WERE SO MANY LISTINGS ON THERE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IT WAS UNREALISTIC. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED CHRYSLER PRODUCTS UNITLL I PURCHASED MY GMC. I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT BRAGG ABOUT HOWW I DON'T NEVER HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK BUT NOW SEEING ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING I KINDA FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE EXSPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING THE INTERSTATES. THIS COULD CAUSE SOME PRETY SERIOUS WRECKS WHEN YOUR SHOWING YOUR RUNNING 100MPH AND ONLY DOING 60MPH. THATS ASKING FOR A MAJOR REAR END COLLISION. IF ANY ONE IS LISTENING AND IS CONSERNED ABOUT THE CONSUMERS SAFETY THEN SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE PRETTY QUICK. I HAVE READ WHERE CONSUMERS HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO MAKE THIS REPAIR. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING DONE PRETTY QUICK BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. SO IF ANY ONE CARES DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *NM

STEERING:GEAR BOX:SHAFT SECTOR
I HAVE A 2003 GMC SIERRA EXT CAB SHORT BED PICKUP. AT 24,000 MILES I HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING SHAFT REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS WORE OUT AND CAUSING A POPPING NOISE WHEN I TURNED OR WENT OVER A BUMP. I NOW HAVE 44,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE SHAFT IS ALREADY WORN OUT AGAIN! IT SEEMS LIKE THESE ARE ONLY LASTING FOR ABOUT 20,000 MILES. *JB

I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY OBJECTS HITTING THE WINDOW PRIOR TO THIS, OR DEFECTS, ETC. CONTACTED LOCAL GMC DEALER WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AND THEREFORE DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY:LEAF
I PURCHASED A 2003 DODGE RAM QUAD CAB TRUCK FROM PARSONS FORD IN MARTINSBURG WV. IT WAS SOLD TO ME IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ARE SHOT. THE TIRES ARE CUPPED. THE VEHICLE BOUNCES WHEN EXCEEDING 45 MPH. THE INSPECTION STICKER HAD BEEN REMOVED AND REPLACED WHICH INVALIDATES IT THEREFORE IT WAS SOLD TO ME WITHOUT A VALID INSPECTION. I HAVE TRIED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN DAYS OF PURCHASING IT. PARSONS FORD REFUSES TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK STATING THEY DID NOTHING WRONG. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME. *NM
