I have 136,571 miles on vehicle. My speedometer has stopped working. I see that there are alot of people complaining about this problems on forums. There is a recall on some GMC vehicles, but alot of people are not meeting the requirements. . Why! I think the recall need to be expanded. I have another vehicle that has the same issue also a 2005 chevy in which I am going to file a complaint on that vehicle too. There has been no accident involved with my vehicles. Please help there are quite a few people with this problem and it should not be held by a class action lawsuit. There need to be a recalled placed on all chevy/GMC vehicles.

I own a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. The speedometer and other gauges do not work properly. For example, the speedometer reads that I am doing 120 mph. Keep in mind I haven't even released the brake pedal yet. There is also an issue with the amperage gage. I have received a letter from Chevrolet extending the warranty, but of course even with the extension, it is still out of warranty. This is a huge safety issue. If the speedometer is reading 120 mph while sitting still, how do I know that when it says I am doing 55 mph that I'm not actually doing 120 mph. This is a defective part that gm manufactured. Looking at the internet, this affects pretty much all of the large gm trucks. I when to check the cost for replacement of this part and they wanted $450 just for a refurbished cluster. This is an on going problem and the corporation is giving out defective parts with out regard to the safety of the people driving the vehicles or anyone around them. An odd thing that I have noticed is that if I let the fuel to deplete completely, then fill it up, it will reset the speedometer the second fill up. I have tested this several times and it seems to reset it at least by the second time. If I do not deplete the fuel take it never gets below 40 an the speedometer. This un-scientific test has not affected the amp meter being bad though. This is continually happening.

Instrument cluster stopped working and when talked to a service manager he explained to me that 03 and 04s cheverolets have recalls on this but the 05s haven't sent out recalls for this instrument cluster which controls the speed and fuel gages.
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. While driving various speeds, the instrument control panel gauges display inaccurate readings. The dealer issued a voluntary recall for the electrical system, but, because the contact's vehicle exceeded 70,000 miles, he would have to repair the vehicle at his own expense. The manufacturer would not assist. The recall number was unknown. The failure mileage was 50,000 and current mileage was 78,000.
