ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED INDICATING I WAS DOING 20 MPH WHILE I WAS ACTUALLY GOING AT LEAST 60 MPH. IT PROCEEDED TO ONLY INDICATE SPEEDS FROM APPROX -10 MPH TO 10 MPH. THEN THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WENT 180 DEGREES BEYOND IT'S MAX, THEN THE BATTERY GAUGE DID THE SAME. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HAZARD FLASHING WARNING LIGHTS:UNIT
MY 2004 GMC SIERRA WOULD LIGHT ALL FOUR TURN SIGNALS WHEN THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS APPLIED, AS IF THE HAZARD LIGHTS WERE ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. PAID ALMOST 200 DOLLARS TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND FIXED. AFTER GOING HOME, I SEE THAT OTHER SIERRA USERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MORE SHOCKING, I SEE THAT GM HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH SOME ENVOYS, BARBADOS, TRAILBLAZERS, AND OTHERS, AND PERFORMED A SAFETY RECALL AT NO CHARGE. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT ALL VEHICLE OWNERS WITH THESE PROBLEMS WERE NOT NOTIFIED AND THE FAULTY COMPONENTS REPLACED. HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH GM ABOUT THIS AND THEY HAVE YET TO SEND ME ANYTHING BUT CARBON-COPY E-MAILS AND RUNAROUNDS. *JB

STEERING
STEERING LINKAGE PROBLEMS: I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE I'VE OWNED MY TRUCK. MY FATHER, WHO ALSO HAS A 2500HD, HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS WELL. THEY LUBED AND GREASED THE SHAFT AT ONE POINT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AND IS PERSISTENT IN BOTH OF OUR TRUCKS. BOTH OF OUR TRUCKS ARE '04 MODELS AND I HAVE LESS THAN 40K MILES ON MINE. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL WILL COME UNATTACHED FROM THE LINKAGE. NOT A VERY SAFE PROBLEM TO HAVE. I HOPE SOMEONE WILL TAKE THESE COMPLAINTS SERIOUSLY. *JB

#10176185December 14, 2006
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER FAILS TO RESET TO ZERO. WHEN VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP, THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATOR STOPS AT A SPEED ABOVE ZERO (I.E., 30, 40, 50 MPH). WHEN THE VEHICLE RESUMES TRAVELING, THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATOR STARTS INCREMENTING AT THE SPEED AT WHICH IT STOPPED (I.E., 30, 40, 50 MPH). THEREFORE, THE INDICATED SPEED IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE ACTUAL SPEED. THIS IS NOT ONE INCIDENT, BUT AN ONGOING CONTINUOUS PROBLEM, AND VERY DANGEROUS. *NM

#10175508December 7, 2006
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I OWN A 2004 GMC SIERRA 2500 CREW CAB PICKUP WITH 59,000 MILES. IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN GIVING INCORRECT READINGS, I.E. 70 MPH WHEN STOPPED, 115 WHEN DOING 40 MPH ETC. ON OCCASION, IT EITHER DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, OR THE NEEDLE IS FULLY PEGGED. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW FAST THIS VEHICLE IS GOING. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS STATED THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE $320 REPAIR BECAUSE "THEY CANNOT MAKE A BUSINESS CASE FOR IT." GMC REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM THROUGHOUT MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES IN THIS MODEL YEAR DESPITE AMPLE DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROBLEM EASILY FOUND AT AUTO REPAIR WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET. ADDITIONALLY, PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT NATURE AND EXACT VEHICLE HAVE BEEN FILED WITH NHTSA. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A HILL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, AND MANAGED TO AVOID A CRASH BY APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER, WHO DETERMINED A LARGE AMOUNT OF GREASE WAS PRESENT ON THE PARKING BRAKE SHOE FROM A LEAKING RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL. THE RIGHT REAR AXLE SEAL WAS REPLACED, BUT AFTERWARDS THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND DETERMINED THE LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. *AK

2004 GMC SIERRA AT 50,000 MILES DEVELOPED A SPEEDOMETER SHORT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHICH CAUSED WILD SWINGS IN MPH READINGS. AFTER MENTIONING IT TO A FRIEND WITH A CHEVY SILVERADO, SAME YEAR AND MILEAGE , I FOUND HE HAD THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM . I HAD THE CLUSTER REPLACED AT MY COST.*JB

MY SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC SIERRA HAS BECOME ERRATIC. SOMETIMES IT IS ZERO EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. SOMETIMES IT REGISTERS 120 MPH SITTING STILL. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO JUDGE SPEED IN SCHOOL ZONES. NO KNOW EVENTS LED TO THE FAILURE. THE REPAIR BILL WILL BE ABOUT $500 I AM TOLD. *NM
