Our speedometer would go as far as it would go and get stuck while driving normal speeds. We were told that if it had happened before we had 70,000 miles on it that it would have been repaired at no charge but because we had nearly 75,000 miles on our truck--we paid nearly $700. *tr

I have a 2004 chevy silverado z71. At 40,000 mi, the speedometer started to lag and move in "fits and starts" (very jumpy). It finally stopped working and now only reads 60 mph regardless of actual speed. All other instruments work fine. Only the speedometer exhibits this behavior. *tr

I own a 2004 chevy silverado and the speedometer has stopped working just over 70,000 miles. I brought my truck in for service, and the dealer says it will cost about $600.00 for a repair. I looked this up online, and have found out that many other trucks have this same problem, and since this is a safety issue, i believe that there should be a recall on the dash cluster. If gm produced a faulty, unsafe part, they…

Noticed that the speedometer freezes up when the weather gets cold. It's been happening for at least 2 winters now and if i don't get a speeding ticket soon, i'm hoping not to get into and accident cause i have no idea how fast i'm really going. My understanding is that there is a whole forum about faulty chevy speedometer. *tr

I own a 2004 chevrolet silverado. While i was going through deployment, my wife received a recall notice for the gauges because they go all over the place, as mine does. When she went to have the vehicle fixed, they told her that it had too many miles on it to be covered under the recall and i would have to pay over $400 if i wanted it fixed. I thought a recall was a recall. What difference does it make how much it…

Speedometer and gas gauge defective. Speedometer will not work at all. Gas gauge will not show proper fuel level. Alot of 2005 gm owners are having this problem, this should be a recall.

Very dangerous. There are so many people…

I had the same type of problem with my '04 silverado. The entire instrument panel went down. Spedometer, gas, oil, temp gauges all were inoperative. There is an entire bunch of silverados, gmc and other chevy vehicles with this problem. The dealer fixed mine for free. Call your chevy or gm district managers and complain like hell! This is a big problem for chevy and gmc. I believe it included 02 through 05 vehicles.…
