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.

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...
The speedometer in my 2003 silverado hd crewcab 4x4 has broke. The indicator (needle) is now on the extreme right of the gauge. After doing some research I have found that this issue is common and the stepper motor will need to be replaced. To do this the entire instrument cluster may have to be replaced.
I have a 2003 chev. 2500 4x4 est. Cab long box. It has 18000 miles on it. I had to replace the rear brakes and rotors at 18000 miles. This is unacceptable for a truck of this type. (heavy duty). I also had a dim brake light on the dash, which I had checked out at the dealer. They said it was in the dash board and would cost 400. 00+ to fix. The dealer also said the steering was loose and this was caused by the factory when installed, 250. 00+ to fix. What kind of product are they making?.
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.
1. City and highway driving. 2. Speedo sticks almost always now. 3. Gm wants $700 to fix the problem, but others on web say it is temporary fix.
