Silverado 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
I have owned my 2003 Silverado for just over 3 years. I have had several problems already: 1) the air conditioner would only blow out hot air-- has been fixed. 2)vibration noise in rear end around 30-40 mph--?? can't be fixed/duplicated. 3) speedometer quit working--replaced at my cost; warranty just expired, go figure; also had to go to court to fight speeding ticket! ( relative has same truck, same problem!) 4) windshield wipers will not shut off, I get to pay for this one too, after warranty. I had to pull the fuse out! not very safe in crazy mi weather!! 5) also had tailgate cables replaced under recall. 6) back seat loop replaced due to recall. No wonder Chevy is not doing well, who wants to spend over $30,000 for a piece of junk! will not buy another.

Under warranty, rear driver's spring sags 3/4 inch and more. Just out of warranty, (40,000) speedometer fails to read accurately, intermittent problem. Rear vew mirror display shows backward "F" for seventies, can not isolate temp from compus. Windshield wipers will not shut off when it rains or car is washed.
