| The issue started with the drivers memory seat not remembering the seat position and the easy exit pushed the seat forward in to the steering wheel instead of back. then came the issue with the speedometer. i received the letter identifying this problem however like so many other people my vehicle has more than 70,000 miles and although it has been identified as a problem gm will not consider it a recall and i would have to pay to have it fixed. this is obviously a wide spread problem that gm should fix free of charge no matter the mileage. my husband also has the same issue with his 2005 3/4 ton silverado. *tr | |||

| Problems with rear passenger seats on a 2003 z71 suburban.*mr the safety patrol was unable to properly put the child safety seat into the vehicle because of the way the latch system was designed. the consumer was concerned with the safety of her children. it was explained to the consumer that it was illegal to place a car seat in front of anything that pulls down, the rear center seat contained a drink holder/arm rest and the rear passenger seat only slid forward for access to the rear third seat. *cb *jb | |||

| The 2003 chevy suburban has an intermittent, recurring issue with the cluster that causes it to short out. there are many examples of this problem from other customers listed on the internet. in my personal experience, this problem results in electronic failures that present themselves in these ways: 1) the speedometer either fails to operate or displays the max speed. 2) when turning off the vehicle, the radio will automatically turn on and begin playing as your exiting the vehicle 3) when placing the key in the ignition, the automatic seat will begin moving by itself, does not remember the previous settings and will force you into the steering wheel. i could not stop the seat from jamming me into the steering wheel. when i contacted the dealership, they knew exactly what the problem was without even looking at the car. the reason they know about it is because they have replaced so many of them already. when i contacted gm, all they would do is offer me a one time service of $200 which would not apply to fixing the faulty cluster. *jb | |||
