I was driving and after approximately 30 miles my speedometer slowly decreased to 0 miles per hour. Now after about 30 miles per hour my speedometer quits. If there is one thing with a guaranteed lifetime warranty it should be the thing that tells me how fast im going. *tr

2003 chevrolet silverado k1500. Consumer states problem with electronic dash *tgw the speedometer has been inconsistently working since july 2010. The gauge would be fine at first, when suddenly it would register speeds that were not correct and the needle was slow to respond to any change in speed and it would not drop to zero when the consumer came to a complete stop. It would usually correct itself overnight, but…

We bought a 2003 chevy silverado 1500 pickup for our daughter to drive to college. The speedometer quit working correctly; it would give random (incorrect) speeds, or none at all. We spoke with different mechanics who said the part costs $500. They said this problem is common to the 2003 chevy silverado pickups. They also said since the part is so expensive, people usually can't afford to repair it, so they go…

My 2003 silverado speedometer is no longer working properly. This seems to be a common problem with these vehicles. It will sit idle at 20 mph while sitting still and say that i'm going 90 when i'm going 70 mph( or so i think. Just guessing ). The web sites and dealerships are saying that gm will only fix it if your car is under 7 yrs old and under 70,00 miles. This seems to be a problem with many gm cars and is a…

After the truck is shut off awhile it reads right after the truck is restarted. The price is around 500 to replace. My truck i bought used with 100000 miles on it. It got 114000 now so i will have to replace it unless a total recall is done on it to replace all instrument…
