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.

The battery keeps being drained when engine stays turned off. i researched and found many complaints regarding this 2003 silverado issue with many other owners. when i researched on a recall i found the recall number (02066) but it states that our truck vin number is not included but then why have i bought 4 batteries just this year alone? please help because it no longer cranks up at all. i have to jump the truck every time i have to turn it on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving 80 mph, the speedometer failed to display the proper speed intermittently and would display zero while the vehicle was being driven. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 106,000.
This actually doesn't have anything to do with an accident. the instrument panel on our chevrolet silverado 1500 doesn't work except for the speedometer. the mileage on this vehicle is 68,901, hours driven 2,498.6. i can't tell what the amount of gas, oil pressure, temperature, etc. is. i really think with this low mileage this panel should have lasted longer.
'takata recall' my air bags were framed unsafe from being a vehicle from a warm climate. replacement was needed to ensure safe guards.
When i went to open the car door smoke came out. the truck hadn't been driven in two days and nothing was plug in to the charging outlet. the entire dash had melted. the heat was hot enough to crack the windshield and pop open the rear passenger window. the vhelihicle was parked the driveway of the primary residence.
At random times while driving or turning, no matter the weather our truck randomly dies. shifting into neutral she always starts back up right away.however due to not knowing when it will happen, it does on city streets at 25mph and had on the highway at 75mph. we are unsure still at the moment the cause or solution. we have had 4 episodes of this dangerous problem starting this year only, 2015 .

Several times now this last 2 months my truck stops running. at first it would slow down then stop, the last time it completely shut down 3 times from work to home which is only 10 minutes away. the ignition seems to be the problem. i am bringing this to everyones attention just in case someone else has the same type of vehicle. if i were driving 65 or 70 miles per hour it could have killed someone or me or both. my passenger side airbag is also showing a fault. it shows that it needs serviced.
When the truck is cranked and at idle and in motion the headlights and all panels blink. the light on the panels do not completely go out but it dims. the headlights have went completely out a few times while in motion. when the interior light is on it also blinks and dims. at times the radio goes haywire and starts going through all of the stations. the headlight connectors have been replaced and we noticed that the wiring that goes to the headlights is very brittle and where the connectors plug into the bulb were burnt and the prongs on the bulb were also burnt and melted. this has been going on for some time and we can't seem to find what is causing all of these problems. the driver side window,door, and mirror panel only halfway work. sometimes the driverside window will go down and sometimes it won't the driver side panel will not control the passenger side mirror, lock, or window either. the passenger side window and lock panel will not work either. *tr
