I just replaced the battery in my 2004 chevy Silverado 1500 with only 97,000 miles on it, and i went to drive it down the road and the vehicle now loses power and cuts off making a left turn.. It did this twice and i parked it.. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE in my opinion.. PLEASE investigate the issue and report back to me please..

My dash Cluster quit working,the only part that works I can read my miles but I don't have the PRND321.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the oil pressure gauge was elevated too high.

MY DASH STARTED OUT WITH A SMALL CRACK AND CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. NOW MY WHOLE DASH IS ABOUT TO FALL IN. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND TOLD CHEVY THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. VERY DISAPPOINTED SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING CHEVROLET'S ALL MY LIFE. I THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED.CRACKED WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING STILL. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. I CAN BE AT A RED LIGHT AT COMPLETE STOP & IT STATES I AM DOING 60, WHEN I ACCELERATE IT GOES TO 100, WHEN I KNOW I AM ONLY DOING 10-15 MPH. I AM 70 YEARS OLD ON A FIXED INCOME. I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL AND I NOW HAVE AROUND 102,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PART FOR $500- $600. GM SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THESE AT FULL COST!

Mileage: 99,899

1 ISSUE IS THE AC RUNS HOT ON THE LEFT SIDE AND COLD ON THE RIGHT. SOMETIMES IT WILL RUN ALL HOT.. @. THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS GO OFF AFTER I HAVE STARTED DRIVING AND I CAN NOT SEE THE SPEED OR ANYTHING ON IT. WE HAD A RECALL ON THE HARNESS A FEW YEAR AGO, AROUND APRIL 2011 OR 2012 THE TRUCK WOULD NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION AT THE TIME. I HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE ALREADY. CHEVROLET MANUFACTURE REIMBURSED US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

FUEL GAUGE AND TEMP GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. STATIONARY.

INSTRUMENT PANEL DIMMER AND LIGHTS, SPEEDOMETER ,FUEL,TEMP ....DO NOT WORK! VERY UNSAFE!

Mileage: 90,000

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL GAUGES QUIT WORKING. TRUCK HAS LITTLE LESS THAN 14,000 MILES ON IT. THROUGH INTERNET SEARCH DISCOVERED THAT A SPECIAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BUT DID NOT RECEIVE ONE. NOTICED THAT IT ONLY COVERS 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES FOR GM TO REPLACE. I AM WELL UNDER THE 70,000 MILES AND FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY GM. SPEEDOMETER WAS THE FIRST GAUGE TO QUIT WORKING. ALL SERVICE ON VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY GM DEALERSHIP TO DATE. DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO REPAIR THIS AT MY OWN COST.

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LS 1500 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HEATER ELECTRICAL FAILURES. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE STEPPER MOTORS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ARE GUARANTEED TO FAIL RESULTING IN NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING OR ANY OTHER GAUGE SUCH AS FUEL, TEMPERATURE OR OIL PRESSURE. GM REFUSED TO FIX PROBLEM WHEN STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I FIXED THE FIRST 2 STEPPER MOTOR FAILURES MYSELF, NOW AT 268,XXX MILES THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH LEAVES ME WITH NO FUNCTION OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND LOSS OF HVAC BLOWER FUNCTION. IT IS NOW WINTER HERE IN MICHIGAN, VEHICLE PROBLEMS STARTED WHEN IT WAS WINTER WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE FAILED THE FIRST TIME. NOW, THE HEATER FAN AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAVE FAILED AT THE SAME TIME! THE LAW REQUIRES A SPEEDOMETER! THIS SHOULD BE MADE A MANDATORY REPLACEMENT OF ALL INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS REGARDLESS OF MILES OR AGE OF THE VEHICLE. 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LS 1500 THAT HAS THE FAILED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HEATER BLOWER PROBLEMS. AS A GM STOCK HOLDER I DEMAND ACTION BE TAKEN TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS IN ALL AFFECTED GM VEHICLES AT NO COST. AS IT STANDS NOW, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RECTIFIED AT NO COST TO ME!. LOYAL GM CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BOUGHT GM VEHICLES ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY SHOULD HAVE THESE PROBLEMS RESOLVED AT "NO COST" REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE OR AGE OF THE VEHICLE MILEAGE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AFFECTED. I AM ALSO A NATIVE BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN. LETS KICK GM'S BEHIND!

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAGES STARTED GOING CRAZY THEY SHOWED THAT MY TRUCK WAS OVERHEATING AND WHEN I STOPPED ITS WASN'T OVERHEATING THE THE AIR CONDITIONING STARTED TO GET HOT AND THEN COLD AND STOPPED. KNOW NONE OF THE CAGES WORK. TWO WEEKS AGAIN MY WIFE AND I WENT TO BREAKFAST AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF SO I HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE RUNNING AFTER BREAKFAST WE WENT HOME AND I DISCONNECTED THE CABLES AND THE TRUCK TURNED OFF . THEN THE NEXT MORNING I HOOKED THEM BACK UP AND IT STARTED BY IT SELF. I AM A 77 YEAR OLD SENIOR AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING . I WOULD LIKE HELP IN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS ALL OUT IT SOUNDS LIKE DEFECTS TO ME I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED SILVERADO TRUCKS AND NEVER HAS ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED.

A FEW MONTHS AGO 2 OF THE SEAT BELTS ON THE MIDDLE ROW SEATS OF MY VEHICLE BECAME STUCK SO THEY ARE UNABLE TO BE PULLED OUT LONG ENOUGH TO REACH TO BE CLIPPED IN. AROUND 2010 SEVERAL OF THE GAUGE NEEDLES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OF MY 2004 CHEVY TAHOE STARTED TO STOP WORKING. FROM 2010 TILL 2015 I TRIED TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES TO GET IT LOOK AT BUT BY THE TIME I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN SO I WAS ADVISE TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT WAS NOT WORKING. A COUPLE MONTHS AGO WHEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL SHOP WHERE I HAVE PAID $300 TO TRY TO GET IT FIX, HOWEVER THE ELECTRICIAN FOUND A REPORT IN REGARDS TO MY CAR'S PROBLEM AND ADVISE ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEEK REPAIRS AT NO COST. I THEN TOOK IT TO RON TONKIN CHEVROLET ON 8/10/2015 LOCATED AT 122ND AVE AND WAS TOLD THAT NO RECALLS WERE FOUND FOR THIS ISSUE JUST A NOTICE AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT GM TO SEEK COST ASSISTANCE. ON 8/11/2015 I CALLED GM AT (800)630-2438 AND TALKED TO A REP, THEN A SENIOR ADVISOR AND WAS TOLD THAT MY REQUEST WAS DENIED AND SO I REQUESTED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOVE THE SENIOR ADVISOR. I WAS TOLD THAT I WILL GET A CALL IN THE NEXT 24-48 HRS BUT SINCE I DIDN'T GET A CALL I CALLED THEM BACK ON 8/17/2014 AND WAS TOLD BY A SUPERVISOR THAT MY REQUEST IS DENIED BECAUSE THE SMART CARE COVERAGE ENDED IN 2011 AND I SHOULD HAD FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE NOTICE SENT TO VEHICLE OWNER BEFORE 2011 TO GET MY INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES AND SEAT BELTS REPAIR. I EXPLAINED THEM THAT I DID NOT RECEIVED THAT NOTICE BUT THEY CLAIMED THAT IT WAS SENT TO ME AND FOR THAT REASON NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. I CONSIDER THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY MATTER AND THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO COVER THE COST FOR THE REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET 1500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASH CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. UPDATED 09/11/15*LJ

A MONTH OR TWO AGO THE HEATING SYSTEM STAYED BLOWING WHILE IN OFF POSITION AND EVEN WHILE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, KEPT KILLING THE BATTERY SO IT HAD TO BE DISCONNECTED. REAR WINDOW WILL ROLL DOWN AT START UP. RADIO WILL SQUEAL AT START UP AND HAD TO BE TURNED ON OR OFF FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE. THIS WEEK THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK TIRE. PERIODICALLY THE SERVICE STABILITY LIGHT WILL BLINK ON. TODAY THE WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF. VERY WORRIED THAT IT WILL ACCELERATE, CATCH FIRE OR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE AN APT FOR REPAIR ON MONDAY. IS THE ELECTRICAL PANEL A CATEGORY INCLUDED INT HE RECALLS? *TR

Mileage: 160,000

THE GAS GAUGE BECAME VERY INACCURATE AND THEN STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. THEN THE ALTERNATOR GAUGE STOPPED BEING ACCURATE. WORKS SOMETIME AND OTHERS IT INDICATES MAX AMPS. CHECKED WITH A METER AND THE CHARGE, WITH MOTOR RUNNING IS 14.2. MY BROTHER HAD A 2003 WHEN THE SAME HAPPEN, COST HIM 400.00 TO HAVE INSTRUMENT PACKAGE REPLACED. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT PACKAGE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CHEVY SILVERADOS AND HAVE HAD GOOD EXPERIENCES SO FAR. I NOTICED BACK IN 2013 THAT MY FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT REGISTERING CORRECTLY - NEEDLE GONE CRAZY. ALL THE OTHER GAUGES WERE PERFECT. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A BAD FUEL SENSOR AND THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CLUSTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. (OVER $500) I JUST CONTINUE TO RESET MY TRIPOMETER WHEN I FUEL UP NOW RATHER THAN SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DASHBOARD CONCERNS. MAYBE SOME DEFECTIVE PARTS????? ANYWAYS, SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES, THE FRONT STRUTS, THE WATER PUMP, AND RECENTLY THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINES AT $1200 DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION. STILL HAVE NOT REPLACED THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER AS I AM WAITING FOR THE NEXT FAILURE. MY OTHER TRUCKS DID NOT SEEM TO FAIL AS MUCH AS SOON. MAY BE LOOKING AT THAT NEW ALUMINUM F150 SOON. *TR

Mileage: 80,000

THE DASH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED AND DOES NOT READ A CORRECT TEMPERATURE NOR DOES THE OIL GAUGE READ CORRECTLY. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE READ THAT THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOVE THE HIGHEST READING ON THE GAUGE. THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR EVALUATION AT A SERVICE STATION, THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND DETERMINED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS FAILING AND ITS READINGS ARE NOT CORRECT. IT WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. *TR

Mileage: 129,000

THE DASHBOARD DIGITAL COMMAND CENTER (LANGUAGE, ODOMETER, TRIP METER, WARNING MESSAGES) DOES NOT DISPLAY ODOMETER, TRIP METER OR WARNING MESSAGES. THE LANGUAGE SWITCHES FROM ENGLISH, FRENCH & SPANISH WITHOUT ALLOWING FOR A SELECTED LANGUAGE. MILEAGE IS NOT ABLE TO BE DISPLAYED AT ALL. *TR

THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT BURNING SMELL. THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS TURNED OFF AND THE VEHICLE DRIVEN HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. UPON INSPECTING THE SYSTEM, THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR WAS FOUND TO HAVE A BURNT APPEARANCE AND SLIGHT ODOR. *TR

Mileage: 170,000

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE ABS SYSTEM FAILS. I RESEARCHED AND I FOUND A RECALL UP TO 2003 MODEL FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I DO NOT THINK IT WAS CORRECTED IN THE 2004 MODEL. DISCONNECTED THE FUSE TO STOP THE PROBLEM BUT IT NOW IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO SELL THE VEHICLE AND THE ABS LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. THEY WANT $900 TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULE. *TR

Mileage: 80,000

EVERYTIME I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE MY SPEEDOMETER READS THE WRONG SPEED, OR QUITS WORKING ENTIRELY. THE TACHOMETER DOES NOT EVEN WORK AT ALL. SPEEDOMETER READS WRONG IN WINTER TIME, FREEZES AFTER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. USUALLY REQUIRING ME TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE TO RESET IT. *TR

THE TRUCK'S INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SPEEDOMETER, ALL THE GAUGES FAILED TO SHOW ACCURATE READINGS. THE ISSUE BEGAN AS A SPORADIC CONDITION. THE PANEL WOULD WORK SOME DAYS AND THEN NOT WORK ON OTHERS. IN ADDITION, WE EXPERIENCED THE SITUATION WHERE THE ENTIRE PANEL, INCLUDING ALL DASH LIGHTING AND DIGITAL DISPLAYS HAVE GONE OUT FOR DAYS AT A TIME. AS OF DECEMBER 2013, THE MAIN GAUGES ARE COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. WE ONLY HAVE THE WORKING SPEEDOMETER, NO OTHER GAUGES. WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW AND KEPT IT WELL MAINTAINED. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT OCCUR UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. PLEASE RESEARCH AND ADVISE. *TR

STOPPED TO GET GAS. TRUCK WAS IDLING WENT TO SHUT IGNITION SWITCH OFF. KEY COMES OUT WITHOUT LOCKING STEERING. WENT TO START TRUCK AND WHEN RUNNING COULD PULL KEY OUT OF IGNITION AND STILL RUNNING. NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE BEFORE. IGNITION SWITCH IS DOES NOT ALWAYS TURN WITHOUT JIGGLING(INTERMITTENT). SIMILAR IGNITION SWITCH NOT TURNING WITHOUT JIGGLING ON MY 2007 SATURN VUE([XXX]).I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT PECULIAR TO GM !

I BOUGHT MY 2004 USED WITH 116,159 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THE BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE A/C AND HEATER WOULD ACT UP ON ITS OWN AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL IT HAS. I SMELLED ELECTRICAL WIRING BURNING AT DIFFERENT TIMES BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING BURNT IN THE WIRING AFTER INSPECTING THE WIRING UNDER THE DASH AND HOOD. ON FEB. 25,2014 I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE AND WHEN I SHUT MY SUBURBAN OFF THE BLOWER MOTOR STAYED ON. I TRIED TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF BUT THE MOTOR STAYED ON. I WENT IN THE STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT 1/2 HOUR LATER THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING. NOW EVERY TIME I TURN THE SUBURBAN OFF THE BLOWER KEEPS RUNNING SO I HAD TO PULL THE FUSE OUT SO IT WOULD NOT RUN THE BATTERY DOWN. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER VEHICELS. AFTER FINDING OUT THE PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE IS CALLED A BLOWER RELAY RESISTOR MODULE I CALLED THE PARTS STORE TO GET THE PART. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GET THE PART AND TO TRY THE DEALERSHIP. THE CHEVROLET DEALER HAD THE PART AND I ASKED IF THERE HAPPENED TO BE A RECALL ON THE PART. THEY WANTED MY VIN. # SO THEY COULD CHECK MY SUBURBAN AND SAID THAT MY SUBURBAN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN 'THAT' RECALL. THAT SOUND ALITTLE WEIRD THE WAY HE SAID IT SO I GOT ON THE WEB AND CHECKED MYSELF. THERE IS A RECALL # 10240 THAT DESCRIBES THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH OTHER 2004 SUBURBANS THAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY SUBURBAN TO THE "T". IT SAID IN THE RECALL THAT THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A FIRE. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE THE RECALL IS EXPANDED TO VEHICLES,THE SAME MAKE,MODEL AND YEAR IS INCLUDED!!!!!! *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AND THE SECURITY LIGHT FLASHES SHOWING THAT THERE IS A PASSLOCK SYSTEM PROBLEM. THE SYSTEM SENSOR THINKS THAT IT HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH AND SHUTS DOWN THE STARTER. AFTER SOME PERIOD OF TIME USUALLY ABOUT 30 MINUTES IT WILL RESET AND THE VEHICLE WILL START AGAIN. AS TIME GOES BY THE PROBLEM BECOMES MORE FREQUENT AND THE TIME OF RESET TAKES LONGER, UNTIL AT SOME POINT IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. CHEVY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR PASSLOCK SYSTEM, BUT A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE COMPUTER SHOWS THAT IT HAS BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM. BEING STRANDED MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A BIG DEAL, BUT IN SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS, OR MEDICAL EMERGENCY IT CAN BE LIFE OR DEATH. SINCE CHEVY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM THEY DON'T SEND OUT INFORMATION TO THEIR SHOPS ABOUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO CONSUMERS ARE SPENDING HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY ON UNNECESSARY PARTS AND LABOR. THIS IS THE THIRD ELECTRICAL PROBLEM MY VEHICLE HAS HAD, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOING UP IN FLAMES. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 70MPH AND STAYED THAT WAY FOR A FEW DAYS. AFTER MULTIPLE STARTS OF THE VEHICLE, THE SPEEDOMETER EVENTUALLY WORKED ITS WAY BACK TO ZERO. IT'S NOW HAPPENED AGAIN. AFTER CONTACTING GM, THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO AN AUTHORIZED SHOP FOR A DIAGNOSIS, WHICH I DID AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE ISSUE THAT GM ISSUED THE CONTRACT ADJUSTMENT FOR, BUT SINCE IT HAS NOW EXPIRED, THERE IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. SO WHY DID THEY ASK TO HAVE THE TRUCK TAKEN IN FOR AN INSPECTION? THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M VERY DISPLEASED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

I REALIZE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS WELL OUT OF THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. BUT LATELY WITH HOW RAPIDLY THIS TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 70,000 MILES SEEMS TO BE FALLING APART ON ME ITS JUST REALLY BEEN FRUSTRATING. I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE SHOP LESS THAN TWO WEEKS FOR FRONT WHEEL BEARING/ ABS SENSOR REPAIR WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER COMPLETELY WENT OUT. MOST OF THE TIME SPEEDOMETER IS READING 0 MPH OCCASIONALLY IT WILL FLUTTER BETWEEN 5-10 MPH. READING ONLINE I SEE GM EXTENDED THEIR SPEEDOMETER WARRANTY TO 7 YRS/70K MILES. JUST VERY FRUSTRATING GENERAL MOTORS. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THIS WHAT THIS REPAIR WILL COST. IN THE PAST YEAR ALONE THE REPAIRS THAT WERE MADE TO THIS TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 70,000 MILES HAVE BEEN... FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS,SWAY BAR(LINKS/BUSHINGS), INNER/ OUTER TIE RODS( BOTH SIDES), UPPER/ LOWER A ARMS (BOTH SIDES), NEW BRAKES/ROTORS( ALL THE WAY AROUND) , A FRONT END ALIGNMENT WITH MY NEW TIRES. THIS IS A 2 WHEEL DRIVE 1500 TRUCK NOT A 2500 4X4 THAT WAS USED TO PLOW SNOW WITH FOR YEARS. NO IDEA WHY THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK WAS SO ROTTED OUT TO THE POINT EVERYTHING NEEDED REPLACED. NOT FOR A TRUCK WITH SO FEW MILES ON IT. AND NOW THIS. *TR

VARIOUS GAUGES INTERMITTENTLY FAIL. TACHOMETER READS CORRECTLY ONLY PART TIME. AMPMETER DOES NOT WORK. SPEEDOMETER EITHER READS INCORRECTLY OR NOT AT ALL. ETC. ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO SAFELY OPERATE THIS VEHICLE. WE WERE NEVER INFORMED OF A RECALL ON THIS UNIT, MECHANIC BELIEVES THAT ONE MAY HAVE BEEN MADE. THIS VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER--A CHEVROLET DEALER--EARLY IN OUR OWNERSHIP--A NEW VEHICLE--WITH A REQUEST TO INVESTIGATE THE CLUSTER. WE WERE INFORMED THEY KNEW OF NO PROBLEMS AND SAID THE UNIT WAS GOOD. *TR

Mileage: 75,000

I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCKS. HOW IS NOT HAVING A SPEEDOMETER NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? GM DID COME OUT WITH WHAT THEY DO NOT CALL A RECALL FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BUT IT OBTAINED A MILEAGE LIMIT. THIS IS NOT RIGHT THEY KNOW THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE THEY JUST DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT AND THAT IS BULL. THE 1ST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE LIMIT WAS 70K I WAS AT 72+K. NOW I AM AT 187K+ AND IT SHOULD NOT MATTER THE MILEAGE GM NEEDS TO GROW UP LIKE TOYOTA AND ADMIT THEIR FAULTS. *TR

SPONTANEOUS FRONT AND REAR BRAKE FAILURE ON A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LT PICKUP TRUCK. I WAS PULLING UP TO MY DRIVEWAY AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I TRIED TO PUMP THE BRAKE WITH NO SUCCESS. NO PRIOR BRAKE LEVEL OR ABS OR PROPORTIONING VALVE WARNING LIGHTS WERE INDICATED. I APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND CAME TO A STOP. ONCE I PARKED THE TRUCK I NOTICED BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING DOWN BELOW THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I CRAWLED UNDER TO DISCOVER THAT ALL FOUR STEEL BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND FLUID WAS STEADILY COMING OUT. A LARGE PUDDLE UNDER THE TRUCK HAD ACCUMULATED OVER A SHORT TIME. I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL LINES WERE ALSO SEVERELY RUSTED IN THE SAME AREA. I AM 65 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER MY LIFETIME (INCLUDING CLASSIC CARS), BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD A BRAKE LINE RUST AS BAD AS THESE. I AM EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WASN'T ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO MAKE A QUICK STOP FOR TRAFFIC AHEAD. MORE SERIOUSLY THAN THE RUSTED LINES IS THE FACT THAT NO PRIOR WARNING WAS GIVEN BEFORE TOTAL FAILURE. DUAL MASTER CYLINDERS AND ISOLATED FRONT AND REAR LINES DID NOT PERFORM AS DESIGNED. I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET TODAY AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I CAN JUST IMAGINE OTHER PEOPLE/FAMILIES WHO WILL NOT BE AS LUCKY AS ME IF THIS CONTINUES WITHOUT SOMETHING BEING DONE TO WARN AND CORRECT THE SITUATION. THIS SHOULD BE ON THE NEWS AND GM SHOULD BE INVOLVED AND RESOLVING THE ISSUE. THANKS *TR

BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW IN 2004 AS MY RETIREMENT VEHICLE. I HAVE ONLY 42,000 MILES. I HAD MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED TWO YEARS AGO UNDER A DEALER WARRANTY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER. WITHIN THE PAST WEEK MY TRANSMISSION HAS RANDOMLY SLIPPED FROM A DEAD STOP AS WELL AS DOUBLE CLUNKED FROM A DEAD STOP. MOST RECENTLY, THE AC IS RANDOMLY BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A GOLF CART INSTEAD. SINCE THE TRUCK IS NOW 7+ YEARS OLD IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I'M HOPING THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LEAVE ME STRANDED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY ON A HOT SUMMER DAY. NOTE: I WAS A VICTIM OF THE US FIDELIS EXTENDED WARRANTY SCAM. *TR

MY VEHICLE READ 0 MPH WHEN I AM DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THERE ARE TIMES IT WILL SHOOT TO 120 MPH AND OTHERS IT WILL BE IN BETWEEN REGARDLESS OF MY ACTUALLY SPEED. ADDITIONALLY, THE GAS GAUGE GOES PAST FULL WHEN I AM NEAR EMPTY AND VICE VERSA. SOMETIMES THE GAS GAUSE STICKS IN THE MIDDLE SO I NEVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR GOING OVER THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN MY GAUGE TOLD ME I WAS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY GAUGE TOLD ME I WAS 3/4 FULL WHEN I WAS ON EMPTY. I KNOW AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE AND VEHICLES WHO WERE LESS THAN 80K MILES OR GOT FIXED PRIOR TO JULY 2011 THEN THEY WERE COVERED. HOWEVER, NOTHING WAS DONE FOR THE VEHICLES AFTER THAT DATE. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS GM OWNERS WITH TRUCKS RANGING FROM 2003-2007 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WE ARE BEING FORCED TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED OUT OF POCKET FOR OVER $500. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND ALL OF THE VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ON MY CAR AND WAS TOLD BY GM THAT THE DEALER DIDNT SUBMIT THE NEW OWNER INFORMATION DESPITE ME BUYING FROM A GM DEALER. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO ENFORCE THIS SAFTEY ISSUE AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO BE COVERED BY GM NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS.

AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, AND THEN RESTARTING THE CAR, THE INDICATOR NEEDLE GRADUALLY WORKED ITS WAY BACK TO THE RIGHT INDICATION.

THE TRUCK NOW HAS ABOUT 135000 MILES ON IT AND EVERYTHING I FIND SAYS IT WILL COST BETWEEN 300 AND 500 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT IT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT AND WONT RECALL. I DON'T THINK IT IS RIGHT THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY PARTS.

THEIR PLUGS HAVE MELTED AND IN SOME CASES HAVE ALSO STARTED FIRES. NOT HAVING A WINDOW DEFOGGER IS VERY DANGEROUS. PROBLEM 2. THE HEATER BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR HAS STOPPED WORKING. WHAT THIS DID BEFORE THE PLUG MELTED WAS TO CONTROL THE TEMP OF THE AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS. WHEN IT STOPS WORKING LIKE IT DID TO ME WAS TO BLOW BURNING HOT AIR RIGHT IN MY FACE EVEN WITH THE AC ON. IMAGINE DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND HAVE THESE THINGS HAPPEN TO YOU.

THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS MY IGNITION NOT THE GAUGE CLUSTER, EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IS POWERED OFF IGNITION POWER WORKS PERFECTLY FINE. BEING A FORMER MECHANIC I CAN TELL WHEN SOMEONE IS INFORMED ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE TELLING ME, THESE SERVICE CONSULTANT'S ARE NOT! IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT CHEVROLET IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBLY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE ENGINEERING. I HAVE BEEN A 'GM GUY' EVER SINCE I CAN REMEMBER. I CURRENTLY HAVE TWO CHEVROLET'S 1984 Z-28 CAMARO THAT I BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP AND A 2004 Z-71 SILVERADO. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE MY LOYALTY TO GM WILL BE SERIOUSLY SCARED.

CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS SENT LETTERS REGARDING WARRANTY REPAIR OF THESE VEHICLES, BUT ONLY IF THE MILEAGE IS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. BOTH MY VEHICLES HAVE RIGHT AT 100,000 MILES EACH. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. BEING UNABLE TO DETERMINE AT WHAT SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING CAUSES UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLES AS WELL AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC. WHEN I TALKED TO JENNIFER CAMACHO AT CHEVROLET TODAY (1-800-630-2438) SHE ORIGINALLY TOLD ME THAT EACH DEALER HAD THE DISCRETION TO WARRANTY THESE VEHICLES FOR THEIR "GOOD. LOYAL CUSTOMERS" EVEN IF THE MILEAGE WAS OVER THE 70,000 FIGURE. I BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET, IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY, SHOULD WARRANTY ALL THE VEHICES THEY HAVE SOLD WITH THESE FAULTY GAUGES.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM SAYING THAT MY 2004 SILVERADO COULD HAVE A FAULTY ODOMETER BUT IF THE VEHICLE HAS MORE THAN 75,000 MILES IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I THEN SAW A NEWS STORY ON A LOCAL DALLAS NEWS STATION COVERING THE SAME ISSUE. BELOW IS THE INFORMATION I SENT TO THE NEWS STATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SEGMENT LAST NIGHT IN REGARDS TO THE GM SPEED ODOMETER ISSUE. I HAVE A 2004 GM TRUCK AND HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BOTH THE TACHOMETER AND THE SPEEDOMETER. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL GM DEALER ABOUT A YEAR AGO ASKING IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL INFORMATION AND THEY TOLD ME NO. I JUST ASSUMED MY CASE WAS ISOLATED AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OR LIVE WITH IT. THEN ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY MODEL YEAR. BUT UNLESS MY TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 70,000 MILES IT WAS NOT COVERED. I CAN NOT BELIEVE GM IS NOT WILLING TO ISSUE A RECALL OR THAT THE NHTSA DOES NOT VIEW THIS AS A SAFETY CONCERN. IN ALMOST EVERY AUTO COLLISION STORY OR STATISTIC I CAN FIND, IT NAMES SPEED AS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. A POSSIBLE DIFFERENT ANGLE ON THIS TOPIC IS GM OWNER LOYALTY. THE PROBLEM AFFECTS 2003 AND 2004 MODEL YEARS. BASED ON 80% TO 90% OF ALL CARS ON THE ROAD ARE FINANCED AND MOST PEOPLE ONLY KEEP A VEHICLE 4 1/2 YEARS, THERE WILL BE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM THAT WILL BE LOOKING TO TRADE IN VERY SOON. IF MOST CONSUMERS ARE LIKE ME THEY WILL PERCEIVE THIS ISSUE AS VERY NEGATIVE TOWARD GM. IT SEAMS LIKE A VERY LARGE GAMBLE ON GM'S PART FOR SUCH AN INEXPENSIVE REPAIR. I KNOW WHEN I GO TO PURCHASE MY NEW TRUCK THIS COMING SPRING I WILL NOT BE LOOKING AT THE GM PRODUCTS. THANKS, MICHAEL FULKERSON *TR

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO INTERMITTENT SPEEDOMETER FAILURE BEGAN AT AROUND 44,500 MILES WHEN OUT OF WARRANTY. OCCASIONALLY RESETS ITSELF, MOST TIMES FLUTTERS OR STICKS. GM RECALLING FOR THIS CONDITION BUT ONLY IF VEHICLE LESS THAN 70,000 MILES; MINE EXCEEDS THEIR LIMIT. UNFAIR....IF PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE, ALL SHOULD BE FIXED NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE AND CONSIDERING MINE BEGAN PROBLEM AT LESS THAN 45,000 MILES. DATE BEGAN ESTIMATED BELOW. *TR

MY GRANDFATHER STARTED EXPERIENCING SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS WITH HIS 2004 SILVERADO AT ABOUT 68,000 MILES. HE WAS TERMINALLY ILL WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND UNABLE TO AFFORD THE REPAIR, NOT TO MENTION HE WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY GM. THE SPEEDO FAILED COUNTLESS TIMES AND EVENTUALLY THE TACHOMETER FAILED, BEFORE HIS DEATH ON 29 DECEMBER 2006, I HAVE INHERITED THIS VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM. I RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET AND SO HAS MY WIFE. MY WIFE HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 10 IN LOUISIANA BECAUSE SHE DID NOT KNOW HOW FAST SHE WAS DRIVING AND HIT WATER ON THE ROAD. WE HAVE CONTACTED GM WHO HAVE TOLD US THEY WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIR UP TO 70,000 MILES. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE WILL HAVE LESS THAN 70,000 MILES AFTER THREE YEARS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS DEFECT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR WORSE. WE CAN NOT AFFORD THE COST OF THE REPAIR, WE HAVE BEEN QUOTED BETWEEN $500 - $700. I AM FURIOUS THAT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED, DUE TO HER UNKNOWING SPEED. IT WOULD APPEAR THE THE DOT AND GM HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS SAFETY HAZARD FOR SOME TIME. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? *TR

(2004 SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB LS 5.3L WITH 54K MILES) I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING (CRUISING ABOUT 70MI) BUT I NOTICED THAT WHEN I SLOWED DOWN IN TRAFFIC, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT 70MI. ONCE I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY, I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION TO FILL-UP, AND NOTICED THAT THE NEEDLE ON THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL STUCK @ 70MI. AS I DROVE AWAY, I NOTICED THAT NOW, THE NEW 70MI. MARK WAS 0MI, AND AS I DROVE DOWN THE STREET, THE CAR WAS READING 100MI. IT CONTINUED TO MOVE BACK TO 70 AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT FOR THIS ISSUE. I WILL NOT PAY TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AS I FEEL IT'S GM'S PROBLEM TO RESOLVE. MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE A TOYOTA...AND THEY WONDER WHY IMPORTS ARE FLOODING THE MARKET...GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS STUFF! I FEAR THAT WHEN I TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER SHIP, THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE ME AN ARM AND A LEG, DESPITE THAT FACT THAT I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PACKAGE FROM THEM AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE (TRUCK).

WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS PART? I AM TOLD THAT THE CONSUMER COST IS AROUND $500 TO FIX IT, THAT GMAC DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT PICK UP THE COST BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON IT. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE NOT KNOWING THE REAL SPEED THAT YOU ARE DRIVING AND JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT YOUR SPEED AND HOPE YOU DON'T GET A TICKET BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE CASH FLOW TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT IS A GMAC DEFECT. I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO PICK-UP WITH AROUND 44,500 MILES ON IT, IT IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN YOU DRIVE WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AROUND ALL THE TIME. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO GET GMAC TO RECALL THESES VEHICLE? I HAVE BROUGHT 1 GMC TRUCK AND 3 SILVERADO TRUCKS ALL NEW AND THIS IS THE 1ST ONE THAT I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2004 CHEVY SLIVERED 4 X 4 EX. CAB. FIRST, AT AROUND JUNE OR JULY OF 2006 THE SPIDER GEARS HAD TO BE REPLACED IN REAR DIFFERENTIAL ($1,100 BILL...ABOUT 53,000 MILES). NOW, ON DECEMBER 8, 2006, THE SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING (61,000 MILES). DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT IT TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I KNOW THERE WOULD BE LABOR COST CONCERNING THIS INSPECTION ($60-$80 PER HOUR). JUST YESTERDAY I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND, LITERALLY, HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS OF CHEVY SILVERADOS AND OTHER GM PRODUCTS WITH THE SAME SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM THAT I HAVE. THE COST FOR A DEALER REPAIR IS ANYWHERE FROM $450 UP TO $1100. FROM WHAT I'VE FOUND, THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM INVOLVES A "STEPPER MOTOR" NOT WORKING PROPERLY OR A PLASTIC COVERED GEAR THAT CRACKS, MAKING THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE MOVE ERRATICALLY. IF THIS SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM IS AS PREVALENT AS IT SEEMS, GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO OWN UP TO IT'S RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! SOMEONE IN YOUR ORGANIZATION SHOULD TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND READ THE COMPLAINTS ON THE FOLLOWING INTERNET FORUM: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE/T2BGKBGI55EKNU77C/P2 THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE WITH VALID CONCERNS. THERE ARE 11 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS THERE! IT MAY SURPRISE YOU, OR IT MAY NOT, AS TO HOW POORLY GM PRODUCTS ARE CONSTRUCTED AND THE OUTRAGEOUS COST CONCERNING THE REPAIR BILLS TO FIX THEIR MISTAKES. THE INITIAL COST OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD COVER ANY AND ALL REPAIRS CONCERNING POOR CONSTRUCTION AND/OR ANY SAFETY ISSUES. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

MY 2004 1500 SILVERADO PEGGED 120 MPH AND WILL NOT MOVE....AT 53K I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER..FOR IT READ 20 MILES LESS THAN WHAT I WAS DOING FOR AWHILE THEN STARTING CLIMBING TILL IT PEGGED 120 AND STAYED THERE..IF IT WAS NOT FOR THAT I WAS ALREADY NOTICING THE TRUCKS SPEEDOMETER WAS MESSED UP I MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT I COULD HAVE DONE FASTER...SO 55 COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY 75 MPH,..AND SO ON.. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL I'VE SEEN MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN...IF NOT FOR MY SAFETY MAYBE FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS....*JB

2004 CHEVY TAHOE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY READS 120 MPH THEN SETTLES TO 60 MPH WHEN PARKED. GRADUALLY CORRECTS ITSELF WITH STOPS AND STARTS ONLY TO REOCCUR. ITS DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING THE SPEED I'M ACTUALLY TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY. DEALERS X 3 SAY $500+ TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH THIS OBVIOUS AND VERY COMMON FACTORY DEFECT. A RECALL IS NEEDED. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 SILVERADO K1500 IS PEGGED RIGHT NOW AND IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. THIS HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED.

THIS IS UNSAFE AND APPARENTLY FAIRLY COMMON WITH GM VEHICLES, YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED AS OF YET. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 SILVERADO 1500, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED READING LOWER NUMBERS WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. AT 70 IT STARTED TO READ 45, THEN 25, THEN 120. VERY DISTRACTING AND QUITE DANGEROUS. FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT GM SPEEDOMETERS ONLINE. NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *NM

MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500'S SPEEDOMETER FUNCTIONS ERRATICALLY SOMETIMES STATING THAT I AM GOING 120 MPH OR 0 MPH. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THEY JUST REPLACED AN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON A TAHOE. WAS TOLD THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE SENT TO GM FOR REPAIR AND COST ABOUT $350 OR $400. I HAVE BEEN READING HERE AND ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF FOLKS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN A RECALL BE FORCED OR SUGGESTED BY THE GOVERNMENT?*JB

SPEEDOMETER ON 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 MALFUNCTIONED AND IS NOW STUCK ON 120 MPH. DEALER SAYS IT WILL COST $500 TO REPAIR. CHEVY FORUM BOARDS ON THE INTERNET INDICATE MANY FAILURES FROM 2003 TO PRESENT FOR ALL CHEVY AND GMC TRUCKS. LACK OF A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE. *JB

ODOMETER MOTOR IS FAULTY ON THE 2004 CHEVY TAHOE Z71. NEW MOTOR IS BEING MADE TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR. I FILED A COMPLAINT ON MY 2004 TAHOE Z71, COMPLAINT NUMBER 54, ODI ID NUMBER: 10148883. I BROUGHT MY TAHOE TO THE DEALER ON 02-06-06 FOR THE ODOMETER TO BE REPAIRED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. TODAY 02-07-06 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER ADVISING ME THAT THE MOTOR FOR THE ODOMETER IS FAULTY AND THAT THEY ARE MAKING NEW ONES TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL ODOMETER MOTORS. HE ADVISED ME THAT THE MANUFACTURE IS NOT RECALLING THE MOTOR, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL OF THE TAHOE'S. THE MANUFACTURE IS REPLACING THE MOTOR UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS FEAR TO THE PEOPLE WHOSE WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM, WHICH IS BEING REPLACED BY A NEW PART. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. *NM
