ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 SILVERADO DRIVEN BY MY SON EVERYDAY TO HIS CLASSES HAS A SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE GETTING SOMEONE FROM PELTIER CHEVROLET TO CALL BE BACK AFTER LEAVING MESSAGES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONCERN. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE RELATED COMPLAINTS ALREADY ON THIS SPEEDOMETER BUT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD, IT IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY GOING 70 MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE FAST LANE. ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST POWER AND THE TRUCK STARTED SLOWING DOWN QUICKLY. I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO TRY TO GET OVER AND GET OFF THE FREEWAY SO THAT I WOULD NOT GET RUN OVER, WHICH IS NOT AN EASY THING TO HAVE A VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR THAT WILL NOT GO OVER 15 MPH. THIS IS NOT VERY SAFE AND I COULD HAVE EASILY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BY CARS TRYING TO SWERVE AROUND MY VEHICLE THAT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE PROBLEM WAS THE #7 FUEL INJECTOR CONNECTOR, WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED AND I DO HAVE THE OLD PART. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE. WHEN THIS PART BREAKS, I FEEL PEOPLE ARE AT RISK AND THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. *JB
