2003 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE OTHERS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2003 SUBURBAN. EARLY 2007, I HAD LESS THEN 70K ON IT AND WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER, THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FIX WAS ABOUT $500. NOW (2008), GM SAYS THEY WILL FIX IT IF THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 70K. HOW CONVENIENT?! GM WAITED UNTIL MORE CARS ARE ABOVE 70K AND THEN DECIDES TO RECALL IT. WHERE IS NHTSA? THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR YEARS.*CN

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY SUBURBAN 2003 WILL NOT RETURN TO ZERO WHEN I STOP. THEREFORE, IT READS HIGHER SPEEDS THAN ACTUAL DUE TO THIS OFFSET. THIS MORNING I HAD IT PAST 120 MPH WHILE DRIVING SLOWER THAN OTHER CARS ON THE HIGHWAY. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND IT LOOKS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHY IT IS NOT A RECALL. SPEED IS SAFETY, IS IN IT? WHY NHTSA IS KEEPING SILENT?*CN

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THE OIL IS OUT OF THE VALVES CAUSING IT TO SOUND LIKE A DIESEL MOTOR. THEREFORE NEEDING TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE RUNNING FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE YOU SHOULD PUT IT INTO GEAR. *TR

COMMON SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM ON MY 2003 SUBURBAN (79K MILES). GAUGE READS ERRATIC INCORRECT SPEEDS. PULLING THE IPC/DIC FUSE RESETS THE GAUGE TEMPORARILY. MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE CAN BE FOUND, YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. *TR

SPEEDOMETER READS 120 WHEN STOPPED. WORKS WHEN IT WANTS, BUT RIGHT NOW THE SPEEDO IS BURIED AS FAR AS IT CAN GO. DEALER WANTS $500.00 TO FIX WHEN THEY KNOW THE STEPPER MOTORS ARE BAD. VERY UNSAFE!!! *TR

I ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER DRIVER BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 SUBURBAN Z71 THE SPEEDOMETER READ NOW WHEN IS PARK FROM 35 MILES TO 75 MILES AND WHEN IM DRIVING SOMETIMES IT READS 0 OR 120 MILES DOESN'T WORK HOW IS SUPPOSED TO. *TR

SPEEDOMETER DEFECTIVE, JERKY BEHAVIOR, INCORRECT SPEED DISPLAYED, NOT RETURNING TO ZERO WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY. *TR

DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR PROVIDES ERRONEOUS DATA TO FUEL GAUGE RESULTING IN GAUGE SHOWING MORE FUEL AVAILABLE THAN ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. HAZARD OF LEAVING MOTORISTS STRANDED IN REMOTE OR UNSAFE LOCATIONS/CONDITIONS, OR OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. CHEVROLET HAS IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR/FUEL STRAINER AND DOCUMENTED THE PROBLEM BY CORPORATE BULLETIN 04-06-04-012C BUT IS NOT OFFERING REPAIR OF THE PROBLEM FOR OUT OF WARRANTY VEHICLES. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STICKS CANT EVER TELL WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING AT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WHY WONT THEY RECALL THEM! *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ACTING ERRATIC. IT STATES THAT I HAVE 0 OIL PRESSURE AND THAT I AM DOING 100 MPH WHEN I AM ACTUALLY DOING 40 MPH. THE TACHOMETER IS STICKING AT 2.1 RPM. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SOLUTIONS AND HAVE RAN INTO THOUSANDS OF POSTING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH GM VEHICLES. WHO SHOULD I SEND ALL OF MY SPEEDING TICKETS TO? *TR
