Vehicle's gauges were not accurate. The speedometer would be working fine then it would gradually go to 0 when i was driving. Rpm would be at 6 and then gas gauge would quit working. Cluster had to be replaced. Chevrolet manufacturer gave me a discount of $75 to replace. This item should be classified as a recall as it was a matter to safety and there were other chevrolet vehicles that had the same problem at…

The speedometer is erratic, displaying 40, 50, 80 mph running, sitting still in park. Then will peg to 130 mph when driven. Later, it will eventually correct itself after cranking 4, 5, 8 times and work properly temporarily. Then repeat. This is a common, known problem with these gauge clusters and chevrolet div. Refuses to fix at no cost because the truck is outside the timeframe stated in "special policy # 07187",…

2005 chevy silverado 1500. Bought brand new at the end of march 2005. Speedometer reads incorrectly. Sometimes reads 120, sometimes reads 90, etc.etc.etc. My truck has just over 72,000 miles on it and is less than 7 years old, but misses the vin recall by 9570. This speedometer problem seems to be a popular complaint from what i see on the internet. Shouldn't this recall be extended to higher vin numbers with the…

I was operating the vehicle on the interstate. The speedometer showed 70 mph; however, everyone was passing me. I pulled over to investigate but the speedometer would not go lower than 30 at a complete stop. It did go back to 0 within a few a days; however, it is again showing 20 mph at a dead stop. Dealers/mechanics have given me three different stories as to how to fix the problem. Per a lot of other similar…

Speedometer not working properly. Does not read accurate speed. When needle starts to rise, the motion is not constant. The needle instead "ticks" up upon acceleration. *tr

The speedometer reading is very erratic and does not display the correct speed any more. Speedometer reads 30mph + while sitting still. Gm dealer claimed that the vehicle is outside the 70,000 mile replacement period since the vehicle has 80,000 miles on it. *tr

Upon driving thevehicle for three months, my speedometer started sticking intermittently, but would reset. Since, my speedometer sticks on a daily basis, sometimes all day.

Our 2005 chevy silverado's speedometer broke at 57, 218 miles. We called a dealership in the area and were told that there are no current recalls for this and told me that they wouldn't be able to do anything for me. I told them that i do not think a speedometer should break when the vehicle has less than 60,000 miles on it. I found a recall online, but evidently it doesn't cover my vehicle...only certain 2005…

I have a 2005 chevy silverado and all the dashboard gauges stopped working. When i called gm they said they knew about this problem, but never sent out any notices. They would cover parts and labor for mileage of 80,000 and below. My truck has 102,200 miles. I feel gm should stand up for their products no matter the mileage. It is nothing that i did to cause the gauges to stop working. *tr

Purchased a 2005 chevrolet k1500 silverado used in 10/2009. In 01/2010 the speedometer stopped working at approximately 72k miles. Dealership advised us that this is a known problem in several gm full size trucks and suvs 2003-2007 model years. Gm will not fully cover the cost to replace the defective part. We argue that a speedometer is not a wear and tear item, that the presence of multiple complaints by thousands…

Around december 2009 i noticed that my tachometer was working intermittently. The problem has now moved over to my speedometer which is registering my speed +/- 25 mph off the actual speed. This is worse than me texting while driving as i am always having to pace my speed with over vehicles or trying to mentally gauge my actual speed. *tr

While traveling at a speed of 60mph the speedometer would increase to around 100mph. After coming to a complete stop the speedometer still registered 35mph. I was able to reset the speedometer by cycling the key on and off 5 times. I've had the same issue at least 3 times now. This should be a recall issue before someone gets hurt or killed, not to mention all the speeding tickets being issued for this defect. *tr

2005 chevrolet silverado speedometer stops working and/or sticks between 40 and 60mph at rest. This appears to be a common gm truck issue and it's a common topic on the gm message boards as well. Gm apparently knows of the problem but no recall has been issued. This needs to be recalled as it is a very common defect. Your immediate help is requested. Because we are unable to gauge speed accurately this has created a…

The speedometer in my 2005 chevrolet silverado quit working, or will register inaccurate speeds. My truck only has 54000 miles on it and i know that they are "extending" the coverage on the 03-04 models but not the 2005's. This failure could easily cause speeding tickets or worse, accidents. Gm is fully aware of this problem and they need to correct it. I am trying to get mine fixed through gm but they will likely…
