Speedometer stuck at 70mph and stayed that way for a few days. After multiple starts of the vehicle, the speedometer eventually worked its way back to zero. It's now happened again. After contacting gm, they told me to take it to an authorized shop for a diagnosis, which I did and they confirmed it was the issue that gm issued the contract adjustment for, but since it has now expired, there is nothing they could do for me. So why did they ask to have the truck taken in for an inspection? the vehicle now has 66,000 miles on it and I'm very displeased with the customer service.

Speedometer on my 2004 chevy silverado stopped working. As I have been doing my research this is a very common problem with thousands of people. Chevy has offered to fix the problem for trucks under 70000. Most problem happen after the number they selected. This is a safety issue.
My cluster og gauges speedometer, oil, temp, mileage stop working all the time, I was stopped once because my gauges stopped working and got an unlawful speedometer ticket. There is a serious problem with this 04 chevy Silverado 1500.
2004 Chevrolet silverado extended cab, poor braking. Replaced brakes and rotors and still have poor braking. Have to bear down on pedal to stop. Speedometer reading goes up and down on it's own. Had a speed sensor replaced but didn't correct the problem had the dealership replace steering coupling in steering column because of clunking in the steering. The clunking, loose feeling has started again.
The speedometer on my 2004 silverado z71 extended cab either doesn't work or shows incorrect speeds. Gm has issued a recall on this up to 70,000 miles and while I have 106,000 miles currently, the problem started at 67,000 miles. I was over 100,000 miles when the recall letter arrived by mail. I did not previously fix the problem for the same reason I still haven't, lack of funds. If this is a known problem and safety issue due to faulty equipment gm should be required to remove the mileage requirement. I should not have to pay for a known faulty part simply because my work entails extensive driving.
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving 65 mph the speedometer registered the speed at 120 mph. Whenever he reduced the speed, the speedometer reset itself to 55 mph. The failure will be diagnosed by the dealer. The failure and the current mileages were 53,000. Updated 01/05/10 updated 01/07/10.
I own a 2004 chevy silverado. It had only 59,000 miles at the time of the defect. The defect is the speedometer on the truck. I was returning from an out of state trip when I noticed I was passing everyone on the interstate. My wife told me to slow down but I told her I was doing the speed limit. At least I thought I was about ten minutes later I looked down at the speedometer and it said I was going 30 miles per hour and I must have been doing 65-75. I slow down to what looked like a safe speed because I did not want to get a ticket or cause an accident. Later we stopped for gas and when I returned on the highway I had no reading at all. I had 800 more mile to go and could not tell how fast I was driving on the interstate. As we made our way back home over the next two days the speedometer read anywhere from 70,40,25 or nothing while on the interstate. I contacted the chevy dealer only to be told they was nothing can could do since the warranty expire. I looked for a recall but could not find anything. What I did find was over 40 complaints on the website called auto beef where owners of 2004 silverado was having the same unfixed issue. Updated 01/25/10 as of today I have not fixed the problem due to financial problems due to the holiday and lack of fund thereafter{like everyone else!}I feel this is a safety issue and I feel that chevorlet should issue a recall on this problem since there are so many with this serious issue with such low mileage on their vehicles. They are probably more out there that just paid to have theirs fixed after being told by the dealers that they could not help them with this default. Please look into for the safety of our drivers. Thanks for your time on this concern. Updated 01/25/10 updated 01/26/10.
I have a 2004 chevy silverado and a 2004 trailblazer both of them had the speedometer go out after 80,000 miles. Updated 12/15/09.
Without warning of any sort my 2004 z71's speedometer has quit working. It stays below the 0 mph mark and if it decides to come alive while I'm driving it is completely off. I can be driving 20 and it will say I'm going 50 mph. This is my primary vehicle. . . . I have 3 little girls and this is our main source of transportation. Why won't gm recall this? I'm also hearing the clunking sound that so many other people have reported it is accompanied by a wobbling sensation in the steering column. I can't afford to keep having these issues serviced just for them to stop working again. Recall or lemon law.
Speedometer started working erratically giving incorrect speeds. Sometimes stuck at zero and other times stuck at different speed. Many other people are complaining of same problems. Please make chevy recall and fix no matter what mileage is on vehicle.
Steering column is faulty in two of my 2004 Chevrolet silverados. Had it repaired by gm but it keeps messing up and causing vibrations, clunking and altering the steering . Also both of my trucks the speedometer has completely quit working at 40,000 miles. How safe is this????? please please do a recall on these two items.
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving at any speed, the speedometer would always indicate that the speed was 55 mph faster than what the vehicle was actually traveling. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. The current and failure mileages were 83,000. Updated 08/04/09 updated 05/08/09.
Initally, the speedometer gradually started displaying incorrect speeds without alerting me to a failure in the system. There were no significant enough changes in behavior at around 95,000 - 100,000 miles on the odometer to cause me to notice the problem. It wasn't until one day while I was going much faster than the slower lane traffic on the highway that I noticed a serious deviation in the reading ( I finally figured it out while starting to drive much faster than regular traffic flow while the speedometer kept gradually dropping any time I slowed even slightly until it registered around 40 mph when I was passing middle-lane trafiic in a 65 mph zone). I stick pretty close to the speed limits and observe recommended speeds (e. G. Yellow signs on curved highway) especially while towing trailers. Had this happened to someone else while pulling a trailer around the mountains of colorado and wyoming, there could've been a serious injury/death level accident. I didn't see a recall on the instrument cluster or speedometer using this sites database search.
2004 Chevrolet silverado speedometer not working. When stopped it reads 70mph and up!!!!!!!.
The driver's side ac randomly starts blowing hot air while we are driving along in our 2004 silverado which started about 2 years ago at about 80k miles. In order to get the ac back, we have to pull over and turnoff the engine and then start it back up. Some days it never does it, sometimes several times and usually on the freeway but sometimes on city streets too. This is in addition to the speedometer, and other instrument panel issues that have had to be repaired over the last 2-3 years (after the warranty expired).
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the gauges on the instrument control panel were inoperative. The dealer has not yet inspected the vehicle to determine the cause of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 86,000. Updated 05/27/09. Updated 05/28/09.
The speedometer on my vehicle has gone haywire. I'll be driving 60mph and it shows that I am going 110mph. Very distracting and unsafe.
Speedometer some times does not register correctly.
Our speedometer would go as far as it would go and get stuck while driving normal speeds. We were told that if it had happened before we had 70,000 miles on it that it would have been repaired at no charge but because we had nearly 75,000 miles on our truck--we paid nearly $700.
2004 chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 crewcab has a defected instrument cluster which causes the speedometer to stick or stop working. There was a recall on this issue but gm refused to honor which I was never notified of.
Speedometer not working.
I have a 2004 chevy silverado z71. At 40,000 mi, the speedometer started to lag and move in "fits and starts" (very jumpy). It finally stopped working and now only reads 60 mph regardless of actual speed. All other instruments work fine. Only the speedometer exhibits this behavior.
2004 silverado truck has a failure of oil pressure, temperature, tachometer, and speedometer gauges. Unable to gauge speed or possible engine problems due to intermittent failure of gauges. Am not covered due to mileage of vehicle.
I own a 2004 chevy silverado and the speedometer has stopped working just over 70,000 miles. I brought my truck in for service, and the dealer says it will cost about $600. 00 for a repair. I looked this up online, and have found out that many other trucks have this same problem, and since this is a safety issue, I believe that there should be a recall on the dash cluster. If gm produced a faulty, unsafe part, they should stand behind the product. Feel free to contact me.
The speedometer in my 2004 silverado is starting to stick. Two days ago it was reading 20mph when I was doing 55. I have noticed that it does not move smoothly when I increase or decrease my speed.
Noticed that the speedometer freezes up when the weather gets cold. It's been happening for at least 2 winters now and if I don't get a speeding ticket soon, I'm hoping not to get into and accident cause I have no idea how fast I'm really going. My understanding is that there is a whole forum about faulty chevy speedometer.
Speedometer in my 2004 chevy, silverado quit working properly. Not recording proper speed high or low and sticking in one position.
The speedometer needle on my 2004 Chevrolet silverado pick up sticks part of the time in all different spots. It dose not matter I am accelerating or decelerating.

My speedometer cluster needs to be replaced it works when it wants to I received a speeding ticket because of this it is totally unsafe.
Speedometer inop.
I own a 2004 Chevrolet silverado. While I was going through deployment, my wife received a recall notice for the gauges because they go all over the place, as mine does. When she went to have the vehicle fixed, they told her that it had too many miles on it to be covered under the recall and I would have to pay over $400 if I wanted it fixed. I thought a recall was a recall. What difference does it make how much it was used the problem is still the same?.
