My 04 chevy silverado ss has lost the gas gage and the RPM gage is sticking. The only gas gage that I have is the digital one. The RPM gage has started sticking. When the gas gage started sticking I talked to the chevy service department and they said a gas cleaner they sold would most likely fix the problem. We have done two treatments with no luck. Today is the first day the RPM gage is sticking. By the sounds of all the other similar complaints it will be stuck soon. How may people have to complain to get a obvious manufacture problem fixed?
They warranty covers injectors replacement of 2001-2003 chevy duramax diesels my truck is a 2004 with a 2003 engine and has injectors replaced at 63000 miles already and because my truck is an 04 with a 03 engine they deny the claim but allow the 2001-2003 owners injectors to be replaced.
Dt: the contact stated vehicle stalled intermittently. The dealer replaced the fuel pump on two separate occasions. This did not correct the problem. Also, the dealer replaced the ignition system.

2004 chevrolet silverado stalled, and died, the engine warning light came on, and the message center on the dash read " reduced engine power". *ts the truck would not restart and steering and braking was limited. The consumer pulled off the road and checked under the hood for signs of failure, none were found. The vehicle as restarted but it had no power, idled roughly and would go no faster than 3-5 MPH. This problem recurred two more times. The problem was diagnosed at the dealer with a throttle actuator code, the throttle was replaced. The dealer believed the problem was with the fuel pump module because he had replaced several on similar vehicle, but since the code didn't come up during diagnostic he was unsure. The consumer mention a service bulletin (document id 1538353, #pip3022a- dated july 19, 2004) which the dealer was aware of. The consumer had the dealer remove the tank and indeed the fuel pump module on the truck had the same part number mentioned in the service bulletin. The manufacturer has refused any financial assistance.

The consumer believed that two brackets broke, causing the tank to hang close to the road.

3 times while climbing a hill, the engine has suddenly, without warning, lost all power, then died leaving me coasting down the highway. Engine is very hard to restart, but will restart if it sits for a few minutes. If this were to occur in an area where I cannot get off the highway, or while passing someone, it could be catastrophic. This has always occured while climbing a hill. Was returned to gm dealer after the first occurance, they stated it showed a lean code, they had no idea what to do. A week later, it stalled twice on one trip. Was returned to gm dealer again, they put another ground wire on the computer, said they had been having computer problems in vehicles lately. I have been afraid to let family in it and have not driven it since the last trip to gm dealer.
About 1 month after buying a new 2004 silverado it started surging viloently when cold. It is inconsistant, sometimes lasts for blocks. I almost got rear ended last week while tryig to control the truck. Gm refuses to do anything, saying there is no diagnosis codes set and they have never heard of silverado`s surging. They class it as a feature and say I need to feather the clutch. Feathering the clutch in traffic is a good way to get killed. This has been going on about 4 months now. I believe they know what is wrong and it is happening with more then just my one truck; but they don't want to spend the money to fix it.
