“My 2003 Chevrolet 2500hd truck has had the power steering pump go out three times. When it goes out the steering and brakes fail and make it very hazardous to continue requiring me to stop and have some one pick up my truck and haul it home. I've also had my air conditioning go out twice and is nearing failure again. The front hub assembly has also gone out twice on this truck. Once the repair was made under warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10231046, filed 2008-06, 80,000 miles“My speedo went out on my 2003 shevy 2500hd at 116000 miles.I went to start it on a cold day and it was reading 20mph in park.today it reads 70 MPH in park and is reading over 70 MPH over the speed that I am driving.”
NHTSA complaint #10213382, filed 2008-01, 120,000 miles“The truck suddenly stopped while backing up in my driveway. I stopped so suddenly that I thought I hit something. I got out of the truck and didn't see anything around the wheels or truck. I got back in the truck, stepped on the brake pedal and it went all the way to the floor without any resistance. I heard a squeezing sound and saw fluid squirting from beneath the driver's side door. The steel brake line on top of the truck frame was rusted and developed a hole from which the brake fluid squirted. There is second steel brake line on top of the the failed line, which is also rusted. …”
NHTSA complaint #10418965, filed 2011-08, 71,186 miles“I'm concerned about the poor quality of the hitch receivers in the silverado 2500hd trucks put on the street by GM! I have a '03, and I'm getting a tt soon. The welds are rusty, and look as though they might even be cracked! If this receiver breaks, and I live to, I am suing GM. My atty has a copy and pic of the mal-quality re this receiver, and instructions to go forward. It sure would be nice if GM could find it in their ethical compass to repair/replace these without having to be spanked about it first.”
NHTSA complaint #10171247, filed 2006-10, 13,800 miles“The vehicle goes into reduced engine power while driving. The engine loses power to about 20 MPH. If driving 70 MPH it is very dangerous because the sudden reduced engine power will cause a severe accident and possibly kill somebody. This has been happening the last few months.”
