Purchased the truck and one week later, the gas gauge started sticking & going crazy. Next went tachometer followed by the amp hand. Have a 126,000 miles on the truck - everything else is in excellent condition and has been well maintained. This is a very common problem that needs to be addressed by the manufacturer. *tr

Now chevrolet will not repair the defective part. *tr

Speedometer began "sticking" on acceleration and deceleration at approximately 47000 miles. Eventually, it began to register up to 70 mph while stopped at stop signs. Now, the only reliable way to tell my speed is with hand held gps. I'm at approximately 54,000 miles and speedometer registers between -10 mph and 120 mph. According to the speedometer, i regularly do 100 mph through school zones. *tr

My speedometer started acting erratically at about 35,800 miles. At first it stuck at a speed and wouldn't go down when the vehicle slowed down. Then it simply stayed at zero mph. The problem went away for a few weeks, and because i couldn't reproduce it, i allowed the vehicle to roll over my warranty mileage of 36,000 miles. Ever since then, the problem has gotten more common and more erratic, until finally today…
