2003 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

WITHOUT WARNING MY SPEEDOMETER CONSTANTLY SAYS I AM GOING 120/HR. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN IMPORTANT INSTRUMENT TO DRIVE YOUR SUBURBAN. TO REPAIR THIS INSTRUMENT RUNS APPROXIMATELY $600.00 AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF SUBURBANS THAT HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM. *JB

2003 SUBURBAN Z71 SPEEDOMETER FAILS TO READ PROPERLY. USUALLY SHOWS SLOWER THAN ACTUAL SPEED. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STUCK WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED HOME FROM WISCONSIN AND KEEPS GOING UP UNTIL IT TOPS OUT AROUND 140 MPH. SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT GO DOWN WHEN DECELERATING. WHEN SHUT OFF NEEDLE RETURNS TO ABOUT 70 MPH AND DOES THE SAME THING. CANNOT DETERMINE WHAT SPEED VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. *JB

I HAD TO HAVE ALL 4 ROTORS REPLACED AT 40,000 MILES. THEY WERE FULL OF RUST AND DOWN TO THE METAL. MOST OF MY MILES ARE HIGHWAY AND THIS REPAIR WAS EXPENSIVE.

MY SPEEDOMETER ON MY CHEVY SUBURBAN IS MALFUNCTIONING. I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I AM REALLY GOING - PRETTY DANGEROUS IF YOU ASK ME! *TR

2003 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN- RACING SPEEDOMETER- BOUNCING FROM 0 TO 120, NOW STUCK PAST 120. NO WAY TO DETERMINE SPEED. MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM-- BUT NO RECALL AS OF YET- BIG BUCKS TO REPLACE UNIT. *AK

WE HAVE A 2003 SUBURBAN AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS FAILING TO TELL THE CORRECT SPEED IT IS GOING. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY GM, I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT CHEVY/GM PRODUCTS BUT WILL RECONSIDER WHEN I TRADE IN DUE TO THE LACK OF SAFETY RECALLS WHEN NEEDED. *TR

2003 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WITH TRACTION CONTROL. CONTROL CUTS IN WHEN MAKING SHARP TURN FROM SIDE ROAD ONTO MAIN HIGHWAY. THIS CAUSES VEHICLE TO RAPIDLY SLOW TO ALMOST A STOP UNTIL TRANSMISSION CATCHES UP AND VEHICLE SPEED INCREASES. DEALER SAYS IT IS BECAUSE OF SENSORS IN WHEELBEARING AND THE WHEELBEARINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A DEFINITE HAZARD WHEN ENTERING A HIGH SPEED (55 MPH OR HIGHER) HIGHWAY FROM A SIDE ROAD. I COMPLAINED TO GM AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS ABOUT THIS. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEM ON SEVERAL VEHICLES. *TR
