TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MOVED SLIGHTLY WHILE PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION.

MY SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS INCORRECT MPH, CREATING A DRIVING HAZARD. I WOULD LIKE GM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT SO MANY OTHERS LIKE ME HAVE HAD. *TR

2003 CHEVY SUBURBAN IS HAVING THE SAME ABS PROBLEMS THAT LED TO THE RECALL OF 99-2002 SUBURBANS IN THE "SALT BELT". I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER AS WELL AS GM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE 2003 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS WELL. THANK YOU. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STICKS IN EXCESS OF 120 MPH OR IS VERY ERRATIC. FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 30 MPH (WHILE STOPPED) TO >120 MPH. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 SUBURBAN WITH 72K MILES. ABOUT 12 MONTHS AGO, THE REAR WINDOW BEGAN MAKING A WHISTLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I INSPECTED IT I FOUND THAT THE HINGE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD SEPARATED FROM THE WINDOW. I HAVE TRIED TO GO THROUGH GM WITH NO AVAIL. THEIR ANSWER IS "IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED", BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD TO BRING MY 2003 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN IN TO REPLACE THE NOISY LOOK STEERING COLUMN. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS REPACKED. THE SECOND TIME WAS THIS WEEK. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE PARTS INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, THE SPEEDOMETER FREEZES AND DISPLAYS INACCURATE READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ONCE. THERE IS A CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT, BUT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDS THE MILEAGE REQUIREMENT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 4/29/08 *CN

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE: SPEEDOMETER CALIBRATION ERROR RESULTING IN INCORRECT SPEED LEVEL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY LOCKS UP AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. SOMETIMES IT SHOWS I'M DOING 55MPH IN A 25MPH ZONE. I'VE CALLED GM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE PAST BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THE COST TO FIX RANGED FROM $500-$600. I GOT A LETTER FROM GM TODAY BUT WAS TOLD SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS OVER 70,000 I WAS STUCK WITH THE REPAIRS. THIS I THINK IS ABSURD. IF IT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT THEN IT SHOULD BE REMEDIED REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE SO I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF CALLING THE PREVIOUS OWNER THIS EVENING AND HE TOLD ME HE HAD THIS PROBLEM AROUND 46,000 MILES. HE SAID HE WAS INFORMED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PAST 36,000 MILES GM WILL NOT COVER IT. THEREFORE, HE TRADED THE VEHICLE IN DUE TO THIS SAME ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *TR

DRIVER'S ELECTRIC SEAT HEATER TURNS ON BY ITSELF, SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT OFF. INTERMITENT PROBLEM. REPEATED SERVICE ATTEMPTS BY GM HAVE NOT CORRECTED PROBLEM. VERY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER. THE SEAT GETS UNCOMFORTABLY HOT. *CN
