SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GM CHEVY SILVERADO READS DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT FROM ACTUAL SPEED WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE ACTUAL SPEED WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH DUE TO IMPROPER SPEED, OR TRAFFIC SAFETY VIOLATION FOR IMPROPER SPEED. GM DOES NOT HAVE RECALL ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY OF ITS VEHICLES AND DEMANDS $500.00 AND SEVERAL DAYS TO REPAIR. THEY WILL NOT REPLACE PARTS, ONLY SEND IT OUT FOR REPAIR AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO'S SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL READ 120 MPH WHEN I'M GOING 20 MPH. DEALER SAID IT NEEDS A NEW SPEEDOMETER THAT WILL COST ABOUT $500.00. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON IN ALL NEWER GM VEHICLES FROM ABOUT 40-50 THOUSAND MILES, JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, AS THIS PROBLEM CAN BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS-YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM, WILL RETHINK WHEN I BUY NEW VEHICLE. *NM

MY 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER IS MALFUNCTIONING. SOME DAYS IT WON'T WORK AT ALL AND SOME DAYS IT FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 0-120 MPH. THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO OBEY THE SPEED LIMIT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM ON A VARIETY OF CHEVROLET AND GMC VEHICLES RANGING FROM 2003-2006. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? *JB

I HAVE AN '04 CHEVY SILVERADO THAT HAS A SPEEDOMETER THAT DOES NOT WORK. IT SHOWS 15 MPH WHEN I AM AT A STOP SIGN, THAN IT MOVES UP WHEN I START TO DRIVE. HOWEVER IT JUST JUMPS AROUND AND USUALLY FALLS BACK DOWN TO 15 OR 20 MPH AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES AND NEVER MOVES AGAIN UNTIL I RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THE DEALER AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR IT EXCEPT AT MY COST. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND GM NEEDS TO RECALL IT. I AM NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHER VEHICLE YEARS THIS EFFECTS BUT I HAVE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT IS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM IN THE '03 AND '05 GM VEHICLES. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO AND ACCIDENT. I HAVE NO WAY OF GAUGING MY SPEED AND I DON'T HAVE THE $700 RIGHT NOW TO GET IT REPAIRED. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *JB
