VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM WORKING NORMALLY TO NOW IT STICKS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AT A STAND STILL 70 TO 80 MPH OR NOT WORKING AT ALL OR OVER 100 MPH WHEN DRIVING PROBABLY 30 MPH AM NOT SURE HOW FAST I AM GOING. AFTER RESEARCHING TO SEE IF ANY OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I FOUND THAT MANY GM CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER. SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHILE OTHERS ARE PAYING 4-7 HUNDRED AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HOURS LATER AFTER PAYING TO HAVE IT FIXED. I CALLED A NEARBY GMC DEALER AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SPEEDOMETERS THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOT BUT THAT THEY WERE GETTING A LOT OF CALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERN. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL OF THE SPEEDOMETER EQUIPMENT ON 2004 GM TRUCKS . *JB

STEERING:LINKAGES
INTERMEDIATE SHAFT CONTINUES TO RATTLE. WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE. VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND COST $110 TO LUBE THE SHAFT, WHICH ISN'T EVEN GUARANTEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRUCKS OVER AND OVER. GM NEEDS TO HANDLE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
DIESEL POWER KEEPS REDUCING. TRUCK HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE. ALL MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED PER OWNERS MANUAL, INCLUDING FUEL FILTERS. TRUCK HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I SUSPECT INJECTOR FAILURE OR OTHER FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. AT 5000 MILES THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD A NEW INJECTOR PUMP REPLACED. I FEEL THAT THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO TRAILER WITH. I HAVE TROUBLE MAINTAINING SPEEDS ON EVEN THE SMALLEST OF GRADES NOT TOWING MUCH WEIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED GM, WHICH WAS LESS THAN HELPFUL. DEALER INSISTS THAT IT NEEDS THE "THROTTLE BODY CLEANED", NO THROTTLE BODY ON A DIESEL! TRUCK IS NOW GOING TO A RECOMMENDED, COMPETENT MEDIUM DUTY DEALERSHIP. *JB

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
A/C DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. FIRST TIME VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THERE IS A TSB OUT ON THIS PROBLEM AND DEALER INSISTED THAT A/C WAS COOLING PROPERLY. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT STILL HAS THE SAME A/C PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE NOW NEEDS A $175 A/C SERVICE, TSB STILL NOT PERFORMED. MY VEHICLE MET ALL THE CRITERIA TO HAVE THIS PERFORMED BEFORE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT, AND STILL DOES. *JB

MANY COMOPONENTS WERE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT NONE OF THEM WORKED TO PERMANENTLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *NM

STEERING:RACK AND PINION:PINION SHAFT
CLUNKING NOISE ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF 2004 GMC 1500 WITH 33000 MILES. WAS IN AT DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID THEY COULD ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX PROBLEM. WAS INTERMEDIATE STEERING SECTION AND GM HAD NOT FOUND FIX FOR IT. SAID THAT THE CLUNKING WOULD RETURN IN FEW MONTHS. THEY PUT NEW GREASE IN. WHAT AM I TO DO WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRES IN 3000 MILES AND IT RETURNS? IS THIS GOING TO CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND EVEN WORSE? *JB
