ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE HAD TWO OCCURRENCES WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AND/OR REGISTERS SPEEDS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IS BEING DRIVEN. IN THE LATEST INSTANCE, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE IT STARTED FLUCTUATING TO WHERE IT WAS REGISTERING 120 MPH. WHEN I STOPPED AT A TRUCK STOP AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IT WAS STILL REGISTERING 40 MPH. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN. I THOUGHT POSSIBLY THE RAIN MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT IF MOISTURE HAD GOTTEN IN TO THE ELECTRONICS SOMEWHERE. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT STARTED WORKING NORMALLY AGAIN UNTIL LAST NIGHT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
REDUCED ENGINE POWER, THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN TO 1500 RPMS MAXIMUM. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY VALVE AND ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. THIS PART WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $481. WITHIN TWO WEEKS THE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE MORE. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN RETURNING FROM A TRIP, THE TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF AND THE IGNITION KEY WAS REMOVED. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO RUN, FLASHED CODE P0758, CHECK 4WD, CHECK BRAKES, ABS FAILURE. THE TRUCK DID THIS FOR TWO DAYS WHILE DRIVING HOME AND WOULD STAY RUNNING WITHOUT THE KEY FROM 2 TO 16 MINUTES AND COULD BE PUT INTO GEAR AND DRIVEN, ALL WITHOUT THE KEY. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY 2004 GMC SIERRA 1500 HAS ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONS. I FIRST NOTICED THIS ON A TRIP WITH MY SPEEDOMETER READING 65 MPH AND ALL THE TRAFFIC OF A 4 LANE EXPRESSWAY WAS PASSING ME. I THEN REALIZED MY PORTABLE GPS UNIT WAS READING A MUCH SLOWER SPEED. SPEEDING UP TO THE GAPS READING MY TRUCK SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED 110 MPH. AT TIMES THE READINGS ARE REVERSED. AND AT OTHER TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I?VE DISCOVERED GM HAS USED FAULTY ?CLUSTER STEPPER MOTORS? AND MANY CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY THERE HAVEN?T BEEN ANY REPORTED DEATHS YET DUE TO THE PROBLEM ONE WOULD HOPE THAT A RECALL WOULD RESULT BEFORE THERE ARE FATALITIES. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AT TIMES, GETS STUCK AROUND 70MPH WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES AT OTHER SPEEDS. WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF IT DOES NOT GO TO ZERO INSTEAD IT GOES TO 20-40MPH AND THEN I GUESS IT THINKS THAT'S WHERE ZERO STARTS. TRUCK ONLY HAD 42,000 MILES WHEN THESE PROBLEMS STARTED AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE TRUCK IS A 2004 GMC SIERRA Z71 ALMOST NEW. SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR

#10198471August 4, 2007
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 60 MPH AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO ZERO. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN THE SPEEDOMETER WENT AROUND PAST THE 120 MPH ON THE GAUGE. I DID GET THE SPEEDOMETER BACK TO ZERO BY STARTING AND THEN TURNING THE IGNITION OFF QUICKLY. I CONTINUED TO DO THESE BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD FALL APROX 5 MPH EVERY TIME THAT I DID THIS. IT TOOK ABOUT 12 TIMES TO GET IT DOWN TO ZERO. THIS IS THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH MY 2004 GMC. I HAVE ABOUT 29000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE 2004 GMC SIERRA SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING UP: STUCK ON MPH WHEN NOT DRIVING THEN WHILE DRIVING IT ACTED AS IF MPH STARTED ON 0 BUT RECORDED AS FOR EXAMPLE: 90MPH...(IT STUCK ON 30MPH THEN WHEN DRIVING IT RECORDED GOING 90MPH WHEN ACTUALLY TRAVELING 60MPH) WE TOOK THE TRUCK IN A FEW DIFFERENT TIMES TO BE CHECKED AND THE FINAL CONCLUSION WAS THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT A LARGE VOLUME OF TRUCKS THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THIS AND THAT GM NEEDS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2004 GMC SIERRA PICKUP WITH A BAD ICP)GIVING THE WRONG SPEEDOMETER READING. IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? TO BE IN A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT GIVING THE CORRECT SPEED. COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS ANYWHERE FROM $400 TO $650. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS FROM GMC. I HAVE READ PAGES ON PAGES OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND GETTING SOAKED FOR THIS MONEY. GMC SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM NOT ME. *AK
