The tps throttle position sensor check engine code keeps going off while driving. When the tps code goes off the engine loses total power and you are unable to accelerate, which is a safety issue. We have replaced the throttle body but the issue is still remaining even after replacing different wires.

I was driving on a down hill road with a stop sign at the bottom. I began to press the brake and the pedal went to the floor. I could not get the truck stopped and ended up in an empty field to avoid a wreck with impact. There was a huge wet spot on the street where by brakes failed. Very scary with my young children in the truck with me. The brake lines were all rusted and had given way. According to the repair…

My wife was driving our 2003 chevrolet silverado 4x4 pickup on secondary state route. While descending an approximate 6% grade into a right hand turn at bottom she depressed the brake pedal to slow for the grade and turn and it went to the floor, the service brake message came up in the dic and the door chime sounded. She pulled over as soon as possible as she was shaken from riding out that hill and turn with…

The return line is just all rusted out. Then i noticed all three lines…

My 16 year old son was driving the vehicle when it went into "reduced engine power" mode and would not accelerate beyond idle speed. It took several restarts before it cleared and would run correctly. About the time i made it home it went back into this mode again. This is a very dangerous problem as it occurs without warning at any speed. *tr

Gm sent out a letter telling its customers that if you had a silverado (mine is a 2003) that has speedometer problems it could nbe replaced free of charge if it has less than 70,000 mile or 7 years. My truck started having speedometer problems when it hit 81,000, so even though its 5 years old i have to pay to have it replaced? Its not like its a speedometer cable, its the whole cluster which is pretty expensive. I…

The speedometer stopped working,as well as the rpm indicator at approx. 26,000 miles driven on the pickup.. I have learned there was an extended warranty on this defect rather than a recall. I never received the letter advising me of this from gm, although i owned the pickup since 2006. I stopped driving the pickup because it was not safe to be unable to ascertain how fast i was i driving. I learned about this…

I own a 2003 c1500 chevrolet silverado which has approximately 57,000 miles on it. On three occasions in the last six weeks while driving on the interstate at posted speeds the speedometer has gone from approximate 65 mph, correct readout, to anywhere between 90-120 mph. After sitting for 12 to 36 hours the speedometer will read correctly. This was a serious safety issue which should be corrected by gm. This problem…

Speedometer was jumping around speeds not indicated the proper speed if it worked at all.i feel it is a big safety issue not knowing the speed your going for the road conditions and when searching internet found that it is a continual problem that general motors still does nothing to fix for several years now and charges the owner a check out fee and several hundred dollors to put a new dash in vehicle.
