Instrument Panel Problems of Chevrolet SSR

Speedometer cluster on my 2005 Chevrolet Ssr malfunctioned. Dealer and gm service refused to fix it under extended warranty. I also have a 2003 avalanche that had same problem and dealer did fix it. I don't know how fast I am going as the speedometer reads 80 mph when I am at a stop sign.

I bought a 2004 Chevrolet Ssr in Feb. 11, 2010 was a used vehicle no warranty. Test drive was ok everything worked as expected. I started noticing that I was going slower than most cars around me. I checked with a friend who drove beside me. It was determined that the speedometer was off 10 to 15 mph. I contacted Chevrolet dealer about problem in March 2010. I needed to drop off my truck for a diagnostic testing. It would take 24 hours & or 5 to 7 days at $150 per hour to determine problem. The parts & repair labor to fix. I said that was outrageous. Plus no technicians in area were trained on the Ssr's electronics. I contacted gm for help. Service request #71-982295330 the problem I was experiencing was not included in recall. No 2003 through 2006 Ssr's were reported to be having any problems with the instrument cluster. The dealer found no problem & was not repaired. I have been putting up with the problem using tachometer as a guide to speed. The first time I start truck it seems to be just a few miles per hour off. But as I go through start cycles it gets to be more mph off. If vehicle sits over night. 12 or more hours. It seems to reset itself. I was out today 4/29/2012 for a drive. I was pulled over by a police officer on radar going 67 mph in a 55 mph zone. I checked my speed at the time & was going 55 mph. The officer let me off with a warning to park vehicle till it is repaired. Now what do I do? Chevrolet does not have a recall on this vehicle & many people that I know are Ssr owners have had the same problems with instrument panel gauges. It is a known problem with Ssr owners. But as I was told. Most had it repaired at there own expense. Now I have a truck with a inaccurate speedometer & no place to get repairs done by experienced mechanics. I need my speedometer fixed at gm Chevrolet expense.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Ssr. While driving at an unknown speed, the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the mechanic and it was discovered that the catalytic converter failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle also lost power while driving and misfired. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and they stated that the throttle body failed and needed to be replaced. The speedometer works intermittently. The current mileage was 46,641 and failure mileage was 44,826.
