Four problems related to dashboard failed have been reported for the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Instrument cluster failure. Odometer mileage wiped clean. Display reads "odometer error".
The instrument cluster went out and reset my engine hours, odometer is error, and won't change anything. I took it to the dealer and they said about $600 to fix. There is alot of problems with these and they should be fixed for free.
The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado. When the contact drove the vehicle at various speeds, she noticed that the dashboard panel failed to operate properly. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealership and there were no prior warnings. The current and failure mileages were 115000.
Re:chevy 2005 instrument cluster failure about 6 months ago, my 2005 chevy Silverado 200 truck started experiencing the speedometer failure issue. At that time I called in the dealership tom jumper where I purchased this vehicle and they told me that they know about this issue and it would cost about $600 to get this fixed. They also informed me that there was a litigation against gm for the speedometer issue and had me call gm directly to get this issue fixed to avoid out of pocket expenses. This dealership has closed and out of business. I did call gm according to them there has been litigation going on and they directed to me to this website to find out the status periodically. The website now informs that there was a settlement notice issued and for people who have paid for this repair work should claim their reimbursements. I refuse to pay out of pocket and asked them to get my vehicle fixed as its a manufacturer problem on supplying defective parts. They are asking me to go to chevy dealer and get it diagnosed paid by me and then they will determine if they I am eligible for this repair work. I found this absolutely unacceptable and fraudulent as per keeping their client as a hostage to their demands. I want some action done to help protect consumers like me who are essentially paying for the bailout of these companies in the current economic condition. Please help in this matter. Thanks. .
