THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC SIERRA HAS BEEN SPORADICALLY WORKING. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING IT AND HAVE REALIZED THAT IT'S NOT ONLY MY PROBLEM BUT A PROBLEM WITH GMC'S AND CHEVY'S AND I THINK THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT SPEED I'M GOING WHEN I'M TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. IT SAYS 20 BUT I COULD BE DOING 80 FOR ALL I KNOW. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU TO MAKE A RECALL? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
FAILURE OF SPEEDOMETER AND OIL GAUGE. WAS CONTACTED BY GM TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. BECAUSE I HAD MORE THAN 70K MILES THEY SAID IT WILL NOT BE REPLACED. EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMIT TO A FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM, SINCE I CANNOT PROVE IT HAPPENED WITHIN THE 70K MILEAGE THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS HAZARD AND IS VERY COSTLY TO REPLACE. A DEALER QUOTED ME $850. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. *TR
