NHTSA Complaint #10158163 — 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO

WE ALL NEED TO CONTACT GM AT WWW.CHEVROLET.COM AND COMPLAIN. I PURCHASED MY 2003 CHEVY 2500 HD IN NOV. 2005. IT HAD 32000 MILES ON IT. THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 36000 AND WHEN I HIT 38000 MILES THE PROBLEMS STARTED. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED ACTING UP. I HAD WENT TO LEAVE AND EVERYTHING WAS DEAD NO POWER AT ALL. I WOULD JUMP IT AND THEN IT WAS FINE FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES. THE LAST TIME I JUMPED IT, IT CRANKED BUT I HAD NO POWER IT WOULDN'T MOVE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE AND ALL THE GAUGES WENT CRAZY. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY WAITED A MINUTE AND RECONNECTED IT AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE AGAIN. A WEEK LATER THE SPEED ODOMETER WENT CRAZY AND WOULDN'T GO BACK TO ZERO. NOW STARTING A FEW WEEKS AGO THE DRIVE TRAIN IS MAKING A LOUD CLANKING NOISE AND THE REAR WHEELS ARE WANTING TO LOCK UP WHEN I TRY TO START OFF. THESE PROBLEMS DON'T OCCUR EVERY TIME, BUT THE DRIVE TRAIN NOISE IS GETTING WORSE FROM ALL THE FEEDBACK I SEE ON THIS WEB SITE I FEEL I WOULD WASTE MY TIME CONTACTING GM. ALL OF US CHEVY OWNERS WITH PROBLEMS NEEDS TO CONTACT GM EVERY DAY ABOUT OUR $30,000 AND $40,000 DOLLAR HUNK OF SCRAP METAL. I HOPE MINE WILL BURN AND I WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVROLET PRODUCT AGAIN. HERE IS THERE WEB SITE WWW.CHEVROLET.COM. I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE PHONE # ON THE WEB SITE, BUT IT JUST STOPS RINGING. YOU CAN SEND THEM E-MAILS AND LETTERS. *JB
