CHEVROLET 1500 2003 car safety problem was reported on Apr 12, 2007.CHEVROLET 1500 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON I BEGAN LOSING COOLANT FLUID FROM MY SILVERADO TRUCK, BUT IT WAS NOT LEAKING OUT UPON THE GROUND. AFTER A MONTH OF THIS PROCESS, AND HAVING TO CONTINUALLY ADD COOLANT TO MY ENGINE, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC I HAVE KNOWN FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THINKING IT WAS MOST LIKELY A BAD HEAD GASKET (WHICH I FOUND OUT WERE BEING ERODED AWAY FROM THE "COOLANT "ITSELF), WE REPLACED THE HEAD GASKET. LESS THAN ONE WEEK LATER, I AGAIN HAD TO ADD MORE COOLANT. AGAIN WE REMOVED THE HEADS AND INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM. WHEN WE SEARCHED ONLINE MECHANICAL DATA BASES, WE DISCOVERED THAT MY TRUCK HAD BEEN FITTED WITH DEFECTIVE HEADS, PRODUCED FROM A PLANT IN MEXICO. WE EVEN DISCOVERED A GENERAL MOTORS MEMO REGARDING THE PROBLEM. THIS PLANT PRODUCED OVER 1.5 MILLION HEADS FOR VARIOUS VEHICLES. IT SEEMS THAT INFERIOR METAL PRODUCTS WERE THE REASON THE HEADS THEMSELVES WERE ALLOWING COOLANT TO BE SUCKED INTO THE CRANKCASE, COMPROMISING THE OIL, AND DAMAGING OR SEIZING UP THE ENGINE. I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL SERVICE SHOPS,(GREASE MONKEY, JIFFY LUBE), AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN EVER GROWING PROBLEM, THE ONLY REMEDY OF WHICH IS TO TOTALLY REPLACE THE HEADS. THE EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER,WHO DIDN'T INTEND TO PURCHASE A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, RANGES FROM $1,800 TO $9,000 IN REPAIRS, AND MAY WELL EFFECT SOME SIX TO 800,000 VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I SPOKE TO ONE WOMAN WHO WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN HER ENGINE SEIZED UP. IT WAS A MIRACLE SHE DID NOT LOSE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS REGARDING SOME FORM OF COMPENSATION FOR MY EXPENSES, AND AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, THEY JUST BLEW ME OFF AND TOLD ME NO RECALL WAS BEING CONSIDERED. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS PLANT IN MEXICO IS PART OF THE NAFTA PROGRAM, BUT IT SURE SEEMS STRANGE THAT GM WANTS TO KEEP SOMETHING OF THIS MAGNITUDE SO QUIET, AND REMAIN SO UNCONCERNED OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND EXPENSE. I WOULD THINK A RECALL TO CURB THESE FAILURES WOULD BE THE VERY LEAST GM SHOULD OFFER. *TR.Chevrolet 1500 2003 problem was reported in LAKEWOOD, CO. Original Owner.

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 PICKUP WITH 37,000 MILES AND I BELIEVE CHEVY IS USING INFERIOR COMPONENTS IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM . I HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AT 35,000 MILES BECAUSE THEY STARTED TO RUST AND CRUMBLE. ONCE THE ROTORS STARTED TO RUST LARGE PORTIONS WOULD "FLAKE" OFF. RECENTLY ONE OF MY BRAKE LINES FAILED AND I ROLLED THRU A STOP SIGN, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING THE OTHER WAY AND IT WAS CLOSE TO MY HOUSE SO I "LIMPED" IT HOME. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I DISCOVERED ALL OF THE BRAKES LINES WERE RUSTED AND READY TO FAIL. THE ENTIRE BRAKE PLUMBING SYSTEM ON THE TRUCK HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION WHILE REPLACING THE BRAKE LINES I ALSO NOTICED THE FUEL LINES APPEAR TO BE IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE AND WILL PROBABLY NEED TO BE REPLACED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I HAVE THE RUSTED BRAKE LINES, I DO NOT HAVE THE ROTORS. *TR.Mileage was 37700 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):2GCEK19T431. Chevrolet 1500 2003 problem was reported in HAWTHORNE, NJ.

I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN BUT WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE SERVICE BRAKES LIGHT CAME ON. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES SO I ATTEMPTED PUMPING THE BRAKES HOPING TO PREVENT ANY MORE ACCELERATION DOWN THE HILL AND THAT IS ABOUT ALL I GOT. I COULD NOT STOP AND HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO RIDE IT OUT UNTIL I CROSSED THE BRIDGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL AND STARTED UP THE OTHER SIDE.WHEN MY TRUCK FINALY CAME TO A STOP I QUIKLY PUT IT IN PARK TO PREVENT IT FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE HILL. I POPPED THE HOOD AND GOT OUT. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS ALMOST FULL SO I DIDN'T KNOW HOW AIR COULD GET IN THE BRAKE LINES.UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS SNOWING OUT SO I COULDN'T TELL IF I HAD A LEAK. I WAS ONLY A MILE FROM MY HOUSE SO I DECIDED I WOULD DRIVE IT HOME ON A DIFFERENT "FLAT" ROAD AT VERY LOW SPEED, ABOUT 10MPH. ONCE HOME I WAS ABLE TO HAVE MY WIFE PRESS ON THE BRAKES WHILE LYING UNDER THE TRUCK AND I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINE SUPPLYING THE REAR BRAKES WAS RUSTED OUT AND HAD A SEVERE LEAK.

CHEVROLET 1500 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 16, 2012.CHEVROLET 1500 2003, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . MY SON WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK TO COLLEGE AND PULLED INTO THE PARKING GARAGE AND WHEN LOOKING FOR A SPACE TO PARK THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP GOING LONG ENOUGH FOR THE VEHICLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING SPOT BUT THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY OUT. G.M. STATES THAT THE SALT THAT THEY TREAT THE ROADS WITH ALONG WITH THE WEATHER CAUSED THE LINES TO RUST OUT. IF THAT WAS THE CASE THAT WOULD BE HAPPENING TO ALOT MORE VEHICLES. I THINK THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LINES THAT WERE INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 57250 miles.

I HAVEN'T EVER HAD A BRAKE LINE RUST AND RUPTURE BEFORE. I GOT ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY CASES OF THIS HAPPENING TO THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS COULD CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND IF THE TIMING IS BAD IT COULD CAUSE A DEATH. I'M SURE THAT THE NUMBER OF CASES REPORTED ARE ONLY A FRACTION OF THE INCIDENTS.

CHEVROLET 1500 2003 car safety problem was reported on July 15, 2013.CHEVROLET 1500 2003, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ENGINE . INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE HEADS ON SEVERAL EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAD BROKEN OFF. REPORTEDLY, THIS HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON DEFECT IN GM P/U TRUCKS AND SUV'S. FROM WHAT SOME TECHNICIANS HAVE SAID, GM USED SUBSTANDARD BOLTS FOR THIS APPLICATION, AND THAT THEY SIMPLY CANNOT BEAR UP UNDER THE HEAT FROM MANIFOLDS. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED BY VEHICLE OWNERS, BUT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND INSTITUTE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COSTLY AND CAN CAUSE (AND HAS CAUSED) ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH OTHER VEHICLE COMPONENTS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 118000 miles.

TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AS A RESULT OF CORRODED AND RUSTED BRAKE LINES ON A TEN YEAR OLD SILVERADO THAT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND TAKEN THROUGH CAR WASHES INCLUDING UNDERCARRIAGE WASHES AT LEAST SIX TIMES A YEAR HERE IN NEW JERSEY. AS I SLOWED FOR A LIGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED FURTHER THAN NORMAL AND AS I THE PRESSED THE PEDAL IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. ONLY QUICK REFLEXES AND JUMPING A CURB INTO A EMPTY PARKING LOT PREVENTED AN ACCIDENT, THE CHECK BRAKE SERVICE LIGHT WAS NOW ON. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND NOT A DROP REMAINED. I BROKE DOWN NEAR A BRAKE REPAIR BUSINESS AND GOT THE TRUCK TO THEM THE NEXT DAY. ONE WEEK LATER 36 FEET OF NEW STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE LINE WAS ADDED AT A COST OF $1113.87. I RETAINED THE OLD RUSTED OUT LINES IN CASE NEEDED DOWN THE ROAD. APPARENTLY NO SENSOR TO INDICATE BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. RESEARCH AFTER INCIDENT REVEALS THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THAT MODEL YEAR.
