2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

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

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

THEY WARRANTY COVERS INJECTORS REPLACEMENT OF 2001-2003 CHEVY DURAMAX DIESELS MY TRUCK IS A 2004 WITH A 2003 ENGINE AND HAS INJECTORS REPLACED AT 63000 MILES ALREADY AND BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS AN 04 WITH A 03 ENGINE THEY DENY THE CLAIM BUT ALLOW THE 2001-2003 OWNERS INJECTORS TO BE REPLACED. *JB

I OWN A 2004 SILVERADO. AS WITH AN EVER GROWING LIST OF FELLOW OWNERS OF CHEVY AND GMC 2000 TO 2005 TRUCKS, THE SPEEDOMETER HAS QUIT WORKING WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT BEING ABLE TO KNOW THE SPEED AT WHICH OUR VEHICLES ARE TRAVELING AT! *TR

2004 SILVERARDO 2500 HD CREW CAB WITH 33,000 MILES - INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NOT WORKING. *TR

WHEN I BOUGHT MY 04 SILVERADO TRUCK USED IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR I NOTICED A KLUNKING IN THE STEERING. AFTER GETTING IT CHECKED OUT I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. MY FATHER-IN-LAW BOUGHT AN 02 AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WELL AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE 01-05 SILVERADOS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS ABOUT THIS AND A COUPLE HAVE SAID THAT GM SAID THAT ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SO THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT. THEY MAKE A REPLACEMENT FOR THIS SHAFT BUT IT IS $92 AND THEN THEY HAVE TO PUT IT IN. I THINK THAT IF IT IS A PROBLEM THAT IS THIS BIG THAT THEY SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT KNOWN THAT WE THE GM OWNERS ARE GETTING SHAFTED YOU COULD SAY AND THEY DON'T CARE. I WANTED TO SEE WHAT I COULD DO TO TRY TO GET THEM TO HELP US OUT. *TR

MY 2004 CHEVY TRUCK WAS RECALLED BECAUSE OF INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONS. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED; HOWEVER, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE PLAN TO CORRECT THIS HAS ARBITRARY RECALL PARAMETERS, IE 7 YEAR/70,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 96,000 MILES AND HAS EXPERIENCED THIS MALFUNCTION. I DID CONTACT CHEVY BUT NO CONCRETE REPAIR PLAN WAS ESTABLISHED. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH FOR 20 MINUTES USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE SPEEDOMETER READING WAS 95 MPH AND THE RPM WAS 2000. HE DIDN'T NOTICE ANY WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE SPEEDOMETER READ 45 MPH. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL CLUSTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE HAS NOT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 32,640.

#1-BLOWER MOTOR ON HIGH THEN WILL ONLY BLOW INTERMITTENT.#2 STEERING TO THE LEFT CAN FEEL CLUNKING NOISE STEERING WHEEL AND FEEL IN THE FLOORBOARD. LOCAL GARAGE CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. DID ALIGNMENT. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. ALSO SOMETIMES HARD TO STEER AFTER REVERSING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING UP TP A STOP LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED RED THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT HAD STOPPED, I REALIZED I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF ROOM BUT THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ENOUGH TO STOP. I PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND STILL HIT THEM TWO PEOPLE WERE INJURED. *TR THEN ON 9/8/07 AND A DEER RAN OUT IIN FRONT OF ME, AGAIN MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR I HIT THE DEER. 1ST I WAS SUPRISED THAT MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY (REALLY TORE UP THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK) AND 2ND I SHOULD OF BEEN ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME. AFTER READING ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES ON CHEVYS AND NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT, I THINK ITS TIME TO LOOK FOR A DIFFERENT CAR COMPANY.
