2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HUB FAILED AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN FEBRUARY 2005. THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL HUB FAILED IN FEBRUARY OF 2007 AND NOW THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL HUB HAS FAILED AGAIN IN NOVEMBER OF 2009. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. WHILE DRIVING HE SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE TAIL PIPE, AND THEN HE SMELLED A BURNING ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE THERMOSTATS ARE NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ACHIEVE OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND INJECTORS 5, 6, 1 ARE DEFECTIVE. THE REPAIR WILL BE PERFORMED AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 103000.

2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HD I HAD SPEEDOMETER ISSUES PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY GOING OUT. AT THE TIME I INITIALLY NOTICED THE ISSUE IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR EVALUATION AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO BE OVER 700 DOLLARS TO FIX. IT WASN'T 6 MONTHS LATER I GOT NOTICE THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY BY THEN THE MILEAGE WAS WELL OUT (SEEING I TRAVELED FOR WORK), AND I WAS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BILL. I FEEL ITS A VERY UNFAIR PROCESS IN WHICH I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND THEN HAD THINGS GONE AT A FASTER RATE AT THAT TIME, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. I STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE AS DO MANY OTHERS.. SHOULDN'T IT STILL BE COVERED NO MATTER THE MILES? IT'S STILL SAFETY AFFILIATED! *TR

SPEEDOMETERS ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER ARE DEFECTIVE. THE SILVERADO DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED AND THE TRAILBLAZER DOES NOT REGISTER AT ALL. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE OVER 70,000 MILES AND GM REFUSES TO FIX THEM. THE SPEEDOMETER IS A SAFETY APPLIANCE AND SHOULD BE WORKING CORRECTLY, NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE OF A VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY GM AT NO EXPENSE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER !! *TR

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH APPROXIMATELY 52000 MILES ON IT. WHEN TRYING TO COME TO A STOP THE ABS BRAKES PULSATE AND THE PEDAL DROPS TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN POOR BRAKING DISTANCE OR STOPPING IN GENERAL. I HAVE PUT NEW ROTORS AND PADS ON FRONT AND BACK AXLES AND IT DID NOT HELP. NOW I FIND THAT THERE IS RECALL ON PREVIOUS YEAR SILVERADO. I BELIEVE THAT THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED BECAUSE MY PICKUP IS A 04 AND IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET HURT OR MAYBE WORSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE ABOUT 30 MPH OVER SPEED SHOULD BE GOING. IT IS SAYING THE TRUCK IS DOING 35MPH WHILE PARKED. THIS IS A PROBLEM CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF BUT ONLY COVERS TRUCKS UP TO 70,000MILES. OUR IS LESS THAN 20,000 OVER. HOW SAFE CAN IT BE TO NOT KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. HAS STARTED TO DO IT IN THE PAST BUT NOW WE ARE STUCK NOT KNOWING OUR SPEED. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET 2500 CREWCAB PICKUP. SOME WHERE BETWEEN 80,000 AND 90,000 THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN GIVING FALSE READINGS. SOMETIMES IT APPEARS TO WORK CORRECTLY, SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL AND YET OTHER TIMES IT IS CLEARLY GIVING AN INCORRECT READING. *TR

THE STEERING COLUMN IN MY 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO MAKES CLUNKING SOUNDS AND CAUSES VIBRATIONS THAT ALTER THE STEERING. I TOOK IT TO GM WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED THE PROBLEM, BUT ABOUT 20MILES LATER IT STARTED AGAIN, HAVE JUST DELT WITH IT SINCE BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORST. I BOUGHT ANOTHER 2004 SILVERADO IT TOO DOES THIS CLUNKING AND VIBRATING, EVIDENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, ALONG WITH THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING ON BOTH MY TRUCKS. *TR

DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WENT TO 5 MPH, THEN TO 0. LATER IN THE SAME TRIP, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AT 60, (VERIFIED BY GPS), SPEEDOMETER SHOWED SPEEDS FROM 50 DOWN TO 8MPH. NO WARNING BEFORE FAILURE, EXCEPT FOR A BARELY NOTICEABLE TREMOR OR LACK OF SMOOTHNESS IN THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 36000 MILES ON IT. ON NEXT DRIVE, SPEEDOMETER WAS OK FOR THE 20 MINUTES. THE DRIVE AFTER, RANDOM SPEEDS FROM STARTUP. NO CORRECTIVE WORK DONE YET, BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE SERVO MOTOR DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER, OR THE ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND HAVE A PULSATING ACTION IN MY ABS BRAKES WHEN COMING TO STOPS AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ALL FOUR BRAKES AND ROTORS AND IT DID NOT CHANGE THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND SAW ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES A LITTLE OLDER THAN MINE BUT NOT MY YEAR OF VEHICLE. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ALL OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. *TR
