I have a 2005 chevy silverado 1500 the speedometer shows it is going 120 mph sitting at a stop sign. From online research i found that this is an ongoing problem, since 2003. My truck has 38,720 miles on it currently. It creates an unsafe condition, since i can not determine the correct vehicle speed. *tr

Speedometer failure on 2005 chevrolet pickup which could lead to ticket for speeding or eventually accident. Dealership said this was a common occurrence on these vehicles. Found out that there is a recall for 2003 and 2004 models. This is an expensive item for me to pay out of my pocket. Why is there not a vehicle recall for 2005 models when this occurs all the time? My vehicle currently has 69,000 miles. *tr

The speedometer stopped started registering about 20 miles an hour below what i estimated i was driving at the time. The speedometer then started working properly 2 days later and then all of a sudden it just stopped working all together. The consequences are that i can't tell how fast i am driving and could lead to speeding tickets or accidents. *tr

Was driving normally when i came to a stop light. Instead of the speedometer dropping down to zero it stayed a 60 mph. The speedometer bounced up and down for awhile and now it just stays stuck on 150 mph. Every once in awhile it will drop down to 90 mph, but then gets stuck back on 150 mph when i start driving again. *tr
