Eight problems related to instrument panel have been reported for the 2004 Chevrolet C/k 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2004 chevy 2500 instrument cluster has issues. On 12-24-07 on a family christmas trip my speedometer stopped working. I received a letter from Chevrolet explaining that they would cover this issue for 7 years or 70,000 miles. It seems to me if they know this is an issue why there is no recall for this. After many days of calls to Chevrolet customer service they tell me that this is not a safety concern and that there would be no recall issued. Now I ask how can this not be a safety concern not knowing the speed you are going? the next issue I have that I also feel is a safety concern is the intermediate steering link. This again has slack and rattles. Once again Chevrolet states this is not a safety concern but how can you say that a part of the steering assy. Is not considered a safety item?.
My speedometer is intermittently functioning. Gm says that I have too many miles on my vehicle to pay for the repairs. This is a 2004 Chevrolet silverado and gm has already extended the warranty on this item for 7 years or 70,000 miles. This is an electronics problem and mileage should not be a factor on it. The mileage has no bearing the electronic functionality of this device. It should be time and time only that dictates the life of this component.
The speedometer works intermittently and I found myself going faster than the speedometer registered. Going around a turn I was forced into the other lane of traffic do to the excessive speed.
Electrical malfunction/instrument panel.
Speedometer working erratically. Stays on zero, or reads lower than correct speed. It started working sporadically about 2 months ago, sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. Current mileage 38290.

The speedometer was stuck at 25 mph, even though the odometer was registering the mileage correctly. The problem originated in the instrument cluster. The vehicle was part of a construction company's fleet which included Chevrolet pick-up trucks from 2003 - 2005. Seven out of the 40 trucks have had problems with the speedometer failing. The contact stated that weather was not a factor in the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 85,118. Consumer states a 20% failure rate on speedometer sticking.

The speedometer of my 04 chevy truck is not functioning correctly. It stays on 0, goes up way over the speed I am traveling and then sticks at various speeds. I have seen at least 100+ complaints on various google sites. Most noticeably this one. . Read more...
I have a 2004 silverado 2500hd(c/k) with 51,000+ miles. This problem has been occurring for several weeks and just started as I was driving the vehicle on the highway. The speedometer operates erratically by showing various speeds such as 80 mph while I am driving 25 mph or shown 120 mph while I am stopped. At time it might work properly but then jump to 60 mph while I am driving 20 or while I am sitting still. My dealer is well aware of this problem and will repair it for $580. 00 I continue to drive using the tachometer to gauge my speeds and speed controls to maintain speeds while in mountainous or hilly terrain.
