I have two 2004 chevrolet pickup trucks that have faulty factory installed speedometers. Chevrolet is aware of the problem and has sent letters regarding warranty repair of these vehicles, but only if the mileage is less than 70,000 miles. Both my vehicles have right at 100,000 miles each. This is a definite safety issue. Being unable to determine at what speed you are driving causes unsafe conditions for the…

Gauges not working. First the temp gage would bottom out in either direction or start in between; checked all cooling devices/fluids. Then fuel gage would sit anywhere regardless of actual fuel; no leaks or stoppages, airways clear. Then speedometer sticks; at a stop would sit anywhere from 20-65 and start off from this point. I'm doing the math while driving to maintain speed limit. *tr
