CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2500 2003 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2005.CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2500 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL . 2003 CHEVY SUBURBAN 2500 (3/4 TON) - THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS ARE JUNK AND DANGEROUSLY UNRELIABLE - FAULTY. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL THAT GM AND NHTSA NOT ISSUE A FORMAL RECALL ON GM 2003-2006 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS. MINE BEGAN FAILING AT 40,000 MILES IN 2005 (FUEL GAUGE READING WRONG OR EMPTY IF IDLING MORE THAN 30 SECONDS, SPEEDOMETER PEGGING OR READING WRONG INTERMITTENTLY). I MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALER BUT THEY LIED AND SAID THAT HAD NO OTHER REPORTS OF SUCH. WHEN TOLD IT WOULD COST $400 TO REPAIR, I HAD TO PASS ON THAT EXPENSE AND JUST RELIED ON A CHEAP GPS I MOUNTED TO READ ACCURATE SPEED. NOW, GM COMES OUT LATE AND CLAIMS THEY MAY PAY FOR THE REPAIR IF IT IS UNDER 70,000 MILES ON THE 03 AND 04 MODELS. I SURMISE THEY WAITED INTENTIONALLY TO MINIMIZE POTENTIAL COST AND THEY WILL SEND A LETTER ON THE 05 AND 06 MODELS IN TWO YEARS HOPING THOSE VEHICLES ALSO HAVE GONE OVER 70K. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY WELL KNOWN DEFECT BECAUSE THERE ARE SITES ON THE INTERNET SUCH AS WWW.SPEEDOMETER.COM DEDICATED TO REPAIRING GM CLUSTERS. AGAIN, A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER IS A POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT AND THE NHTSA MUST STEP UP AND FORCE A FORMAL RECALL OR BE AS GUILTY OF NEGLECTING ITS DUTY AS THE FDA HAS BEEN. *TR .Mileage was 40000 miles.

CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2500 2003 car safety problem was reported on July 09, 2010.CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2500 2003, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 K2500 CHEVY SUBURBAN, ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME FROM A SIDE STREET WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH AND I PRESSED THE BRAKES VERY HARD - HARD ENOUGH TO LOCK UP AT LEAST ONE WHEEL, BUT AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I CONTINUED ON, BUT JUST A FEW SECONDS LATER, I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED BY PUMPING THE BRAKES QUICKLY AND RAN SLIGHTLY INTO THE BUSY INTERSECTION. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO INSPECT WHETHER I HAD DAMAGED SOMETHING. I DECIDED TO RETURN HOME ABOUT 1/2 MILE AWAY AND SLOWLY DROVE HOME, WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER. WHEN I GOT HOME, I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO FIND BRAKE FLUID SPLATTERED AND LEAKING ALL OVER THE UNDERSIDE AROUND THE ABS UNIT. THE BRAKE LINES ARE EXTREMELY CORRODED, AND I SUSPECT ONE HAS BLOWN OUT. THE VEHICLE IS IN VERY GOOD AND WELL MAINTAINED CONDITION OTHERWISE, BUT THE UNDERSIDE SEEMS PARTICULARLY RUSTY. IF I WERE TRAVELING MORE THAN THE 30-35 MPH I WAS, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. THESE ARE VERY COMMON VEHICLES, IF THIS IS TYPICAL, A SAFETY RECALL MUST BE INITIATED. *TR.Mileage was 109685 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3GNGK26U53G.
