2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Wipers blades will not turn off after I turned them on. They did turn off one time after the vehicle sat for 2 days but the next time it rained and I turned them on, they would not turn off.
Purchased new in 2003, chevy sivlerado 1500, at 40,000 miles, passenger side heated mirror cracked and both heated mirrors no longer work. At about 88,000 miles speedometer is jumping and sticking, will not return to zero, cannot read true speed. This has been going on for months now.
Wipers won't shut off. Motor cover with controller module only available at dealer for $100+. Definitely a manufacturer defect. Truck has 55000 miles.
While driving home during a rain storm my windshield wipers started to malfunction. I had them on an intermittent speed and they all of sudden went to high. Once I was home. I attempted to turn my wipers off and they only went to low. I am unable to turn my wipers off I had to remove the fuse. If I need my wipers I must put the fuse back in. I am working now to determine if it is the multiple function switch that has gone bad. Upon looking up data about my vehicle on line I found trucks dating back to the mid 90's with the same issue.
Windshield wipers won't turn off or change speed once turned on. Only operate in normal or high speed. Had to pull fuse to turn them off. Will be checking with dealer to investigate solution.
My complaint is the braking system on my 2003 chevrolet silverado 1500 extended cab, 4x4 truck. The brakes have always felt spongy. After complaining about the "low" brake pedal, my dealer advised that I needed to have my rear rotors repaired & the rear brake shoes replaced., so I had the work done. One week later, I again complained that now when I'm stopped at a traffic light, the brake pedal would go even lower. The braking system was checked out, the master cylinder was checked, & I was told everything was ok, there were no leaks. I was also told that this was the biggest complaint about this truck. I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. In the first few months of owning the vehicle, the wiper blade was defective, thus scratching the windshield. I had to complain to get the windshield replaced & the wiper repaired. Also withing the first few months after purchasing, the 4x4 switch had to be replaced. The truck would not shift out of 4 wheel drive low. Another complaint that the dealer was notified within the first year of ownership was the wind noise due to a faulty door gasket on the driver's side. This was not replaced, only temporarily fixed, which only corrected the problem for a short while. Recently, the engine light came on, the o2 oxygen sensor had to be replaced. Within a month, the engine light came on again, this time it is a stuck open valve solonoid dealing with the emmission system of which I was given an estimate of 364.00 to reapair, this would not be covered under the extended warranty of the vehicle. This vehicle is only 2 years old, & I'm tired of having to take the time to get it to the dealer's for repairs.
