ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AT 40,000 MILES. IT MAKE A CLICKING SOUND AND SOMETIMES WORKS BUT THEN DROPS TO 0 MILES PER HOUR. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT TAKE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OUT AND SEND IT AWAY FOR A $500.00 REPAIR. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONLY OUT OF WARRANTY 4,000 MILES. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT WORKS SOMETIMES BUT IS WAY OFF UNDER THE REAL SPEED. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER IS BEHAVING ERRATICALLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL READ WITHIN 5 OR 10 MPH OF ACTUAL SPEED (SOMETIMES HIGH AND SOMETIMES LOW) AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL READ 0 OR 100+. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO UNKNOWINGLY TRAVEL BEYOND THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS AT TIMES AND IS CREATING AN UNSAFE DRIVING ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *JB

WHAT DOSE IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL ON A VEHICLE SINCE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY THE SPEEDOMETER IS BROKE, I CAN BE PARKED AND IT READS 120 MPH OR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT READS 0 MPH. 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. I THINK I WILL RETHINK THE NEXT TIME I BUY A NEW VEHICLE AS TO ANOTHER MODEL OTHER THEN GMAC IF A RECALL IS NOT DONE AND I AS A CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR A GMAC DEFECT PROBLEM.*JB

MY 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING ON FEB 13TH, 2007 ON THE WAY HOME ONE NIGHT. IT ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT. IT'S BEEN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THEN. I'VE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET WHERE THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO GET FIXED, BUT I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *NM
