WELL I BOUGHT THE 2004 SILVERADO TRUCK IN JUNE OF 2011 AND I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER STUTTER A LITTLE BIT GOING EACH WAY. THEN JUST RECENTLY I EXPERIENCED THE SPEEDOMETER JUST STOP WORKING BY GETTING STUCK AT 30MPH. I PULLED OVER THE TRUCK AND TURNED IT OF TO MAYBE RESET THE SYSTEM BUT EVEN WITH THE TRUCKED TURNED OFF THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL AT 30MPH. I TRIED HITTING THE DASH A COUPLE OF TIMES TO SEE IF THAT WOULD WORK. IT DIDN'T WORK SO I TRIED DRIVING SOME MORE AND THE SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS DOING 90MPH WHEN I WAS ONLY GOING 65MPH BECAUSE I HAD ANOTHER PERSON ON THE ROAD TELL ME THEY WERE GOING 65PMH. I EVEN TRIED TO HIT THE BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE NEEDLE TO DROP BELOW 30MPH. IT PARTICIALLY WORKED BY MAKING IT GO DOWN BUT THEN IT GOT STUCK AT 10MPH EVEN WITH THE TRUCK TURNED OFF. SO I CAME HOME AND CHECKED THE RECALLS FOR MY MODEL TRUCK AND YEAR AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR VEHICLES UNDER 70000 MILES WHICH I THINK ISN'T RIGHT BECAUSE ITS A FAILURE WITH YOUR ELECTRICAL CLUSTERS THAT YOU KNOW IS THERE BUT WONT FIX WHICH MAKES IT NOT LOOK GOOD FOR YOU DESIGNERS. I AM A DIESEL MECHANIC AND I WOULD TELL PEOPLE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. IT'S SO DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. HOW CAN A 2004 VEHICLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I AM FINDING OUT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINT PERTAINING TO THIS OUT THERE. GM HAS DECIDED TO EXTEND SOME KIND OF WARRANTY FOR UP TO 80,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THIS FROM THE SERVICE DEPT AT COMMONWEALTH MOTORS, BUT HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. HE COMPARED IT TO TAKING OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND SOMETHING HAPPENING THE DAY AFTER IT EXPIRED. YOU CAN'T KILL YOURSELF IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR WHEN YOUR NOT SURE HOW FAST YOUR DRIVING. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 YEARS AGO STATING YOUR VEHICLE MAY LATER HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT (IN BOLD LETTERS) DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO YOUR GM DEALER AS A RESULT OF THIS LETTER UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR VEHICLE HAS THIS CONDITION. WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THE OPTION TO CHANGE IT FOR PREVENTABLE MEASURES. NO. THEY WANTED ME TO WAIT AND MAYBE I WOULD GO OVER THEIR MILEAGE WHEN IT DID GO DEFECTIVE. THEN THEY CAN SAY "I'M SORRY, TOO LATE." GM IS ADMITTING THEY HAVE INSTALLED DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER AND IN A 2004 VEHICLE, THEY SHOULD BE REPLACING IT. I DON'T HAVE 200,000 MILES, I ONLY HAVE 85,000. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE CONCERNING THIS MATTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH FOR 20 MINUTES USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE SPEEDOMETER READING WAS 95 MPH AND THE RPM WAS 2000. HE DIDN'T NOTICE ANY WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE SPEEDOMETER READ 45 MPH. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL CLUSTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE HAS NOT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 32,640.

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING EXACTLY AS OUTLINED BY THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, SPEEDOMETER REGISTERS RANDOMLY WITH INCORRECT SPEED OR STUCK NEEDLE. I CALLED MY DEALER AND PARTS AND LABOR AMOUNTS TO AROUND $500.00. I ASKED A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS ALSO A SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HIS RESPONSE WAS ?OHHH YEAH, I DON?T KNOW WHY THEY HAVEN?T RECALLED IT YET. CHEVROLET MAY NOT BE CONSIDERING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IF THAT IS THE CASE WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE SPEED LIMITS? SPEED LIMITS ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY, WILL A PERSON WITH OUT A WORKING SPEEDOMETER BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME WHEN A CHILD RUNS OUT IN FRONT THEM? CHEVY BETTER HOPE SO. *TR

FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND 30,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP HAS BEEN STICKING. STARTING AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES ABOUT EVERY 3 OR 4 MONTHS THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WOULD STICK AT 25 MPH, 30 MPH OR 35 MPH. THIS STICKING WAS WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WOULD STOP AT WHEN YOU TURNED THE KEY OFF. WHEN THE NEEDLE WOULD STICK IT CAUSED THE SPEEDO TO READ INCORRECT SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THIS STARTED. I DID NOT TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WOULD REQUIRE TAKING A WHOLE DAY TO TAKE IT IN AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT GUARANTEE HE WOULD FIX IT IN ONE VISIT. THE DEALER SAID BRING IT IN. THEY WOULD CHECK IT AND ORDER THE PARTS. THEN BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED. BEFORE WASTING THE TIME WITH THE DEALER I TRIED REMOVING THE BATTERY CABLE AND ALLOWING THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO RESET ITSELF. THIS WORKED FOR THE FIRST 10 TIMES THE SPEEDO STUCK. THE SPEEDO IS STUCK AGAIN AND REMOVING THE BATTERY CABLE OVER 10 TIMES HAS NOT RESET THE SPEEDO CORRECTLY. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SPEEDO PROBLEM FOR OVER 5 YEARS BUT IS ONLY BANDAIDING THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO. MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED GOING BAD AFTER 50K MILES (15K PAST WARRANTY) THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS INACURRATE SPEEDS.

2004 SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER. THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN FAILING ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND NOW FAILS ON TRIPS OF 5 MILES OR MORE. SPEEDOMETER MOST OFTEN BEGINS REGISTERING LOW. IT IS SO GRADUAL THAT IT IS NOT OBVIOUS WHEN IT BEGINS HAPPENING. IT WILL EVENTUALLY REGISTER BELOW ZERO AT ANY SPEED. THE ONLY WAY TO RELIABLY JUDGE SPEED IS VIA THE TACHOMETER. A FEW TIMES, IT HAS REGISTERED HIGH, SO AS TO READ >100 MPH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL OF GM VEHICLE. OF COURSE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FIRST OCCURRED WITH ME. I AM UNCERTAIN HOW FAST I WAS ACTUALLY GOING WHEN I REALIZED I WAS GOING WAY TOO FAST IN RELATION TO WHAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REPORTING. I BELIEVE THE SPEEDOMETER SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A CRITICAL PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT. IN ADDITION, LAW ENFORCEMENT REQUIRES YOU TO FOLLOW POSTED SPEED LIMITS, WHICH IS DIFFICULT WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER IS REPORTING INACCURATELY. IN MY OPINION, THIS DEVICE SHOULD NOT FAIL AT 35000 MILES. AGAIN, IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEAR THE EXPENSE FOR THE REPAIR. *JB
