Oct 2005, had to replace the left front wheel bearing hub assembly on my 2003 chevy silverado. September 2006, the right front wheel bearing/hub assembly is going bad and needs to be replaced. I do no off roading and have only used 4wd about 3 times during the winter.

The front springs on 2003 chevrolet 1500 silvered quad cab trucks are collapsing and gmc/chevrolet knows about problem and says it the owners responsible to fix their mistake in designing and engineering the truck. They sent out a technical service bulletin to all dealers about problem and says it the owners need to pay $18.00 dollars for rubber bushing to push up spring and 380.00 in labor .it not the company's fault. I think they need a recall and replace the springs with heavy duty springs at their cost not the owners cost.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 10 MPH on dirt road and asphalt, the front end of the vehicle shook and pulled to the left. This was accompanied by a clunking sound from under the front end. During this incident, the instrument panel displayed incorrect information on every gauge. The transmission would not shift properly,either. The vehicle became locked in second gear, and was unable to be shifted out. Finally, the brakes on the vehicle were spongy, causing an extended stopping distance from any speed. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer where it awaits a diagnosis.
My husband owns a 03 silverado c1500. I drive it to save on gas. I have tried coming to a stop before, and had the pedal all the way to the floor, I almost missed my turn. I scared me because I know you do not need that much pressure on brakes to stop. The biggest problem I have is everytime I make a left turn, there is a knocking noise in the front end. We thought is was the shroud cover, but was not. It is now getting louder, and I would like to find out if this is being investigated for a recall for both the brakes and the knocking noise? Thanks in advance for the help!
