MY SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 SILVERADO FUNCTIONS INCORRECTLY. IT READS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30 AND 120 AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MY SPEED IS. APPARENTLY THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS APPARENTLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE MOST DEFINITELY SHOULD BE A RECALL. *NM

SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE. SPEEDOMETER PEGGED OUT AT 120 WHEN 1 WAS GOING 65 MPH. DEALER SAID $400 TO FIX SINCE I AM 1200 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. CHEVROLET IS GOING TO COVER HALF OF THE AMOUNT FOR REPAIR HOPEFULLY SINCE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM. MAYBE THERE IS HOPE FOR A FULL RECALL. *NM

THE NEEDLE ON MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT REGISTERING THE PROPER SPEED, SOME DAYS IT JUST GETS STUCK AT THE 120 MPH AND DOESN'T MOVE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY GM DEALERSHIPS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS TRUCK. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? THIS IS NOT SAFE BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I'M TRAVELING. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THIS PART AS OF YET. *JB

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 4WD SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION AT 45,000 MILES. METER JUST PEGS OUT AT 120 MPH AND DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. AFTER TALKING TO DEALER, THIS SEEMS TO BE A REGULAR OCCURRENCE. BUT THEY WANT 500-700 DOLLARS TO FIX. THEY TELL THE ODOMETER PROBABLY WILL BE NEXT. NOW I HAVE NO WORKING SPEEDOMETER. SEEMS LIKE CHEVY SHOULD FIX THIS FOR FREE. *NM

DEAR SIRS, MY SON IS DRIVING OUR 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO PICKUP AND HE IS 16 YO. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES AND THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED MALFUNCTIONING LAST WEEK. IT INDICATES THE SPEED AT 20-50 MPH LESS THAN ACTUAL. I AM AWARE OF A FORUM ON TOPIX.NET THAT HAS MORE THAN 327 COMPLAINTS OF THIS VERY PROBLEM. SURELY THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN HERE WITH THE POSSIBILITIES OF EXCESSIVE SPEED DUE TO THE INACCURACIES OF THE SPEEDOMETER! PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF YOUR CONCERNS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME! RESPECTFULLY, DAVID W. FREIDBERG MD FACS. *NM

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF THE SPEEDOMETER READS 90 MPH, AND WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD IT READS 120 MPH. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL LATE MODEL GM VEHICLES. THIS IS UNSAFE AND GM SHOULD BE MADE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 SILVERADO 2500HD(C/K) WITH 51,000+ MILES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND JUST STARTED AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SPEEDOMETER OPERATES ERRATICALLY BY SHOWING VARIOUS SPEEDS SUCH AS 80 MPH WHILE I AM DRIVING 25 MPH OR SHOWN 120 MPH WHILE I AM STOPPED. AT TIME IT MIGHT WORK PROPERLY BUT THEN JUMP TO 60 MPH WHILE I AM DRIVING 20 OR WHILE I AM SITTING STILL. MY DEALER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WILL REPAIR IT FOR $580.00 I CONTINUE TO DRIVE USING THE TACHOMETER TO GAUGE MY SPEEDS AND SPEED CONTROLS TO MAINTAIN SPEEDS WHILE IN MOUNTAINOUS OR HILLY TERRAIN. *JB
