I have a chevy Suburban 2005 my speedometer has stopped working. I also have a 2005 duramax that this has happened to. I would like to see a full blown recall placed on all GMC/chevy vehicles. Apparently these are hundreds of thousands people with this issue across the u. S. / world according to forums I have been on. While there is a class action lawsuit out there for a very limited group of GMC vehicles, making lawyers rich. Instead of taking care of the people whom make this world actually run. This issue needs to seriously looked into. My next step is to get the media involved showing how again the average consumer can get screwed by the big companies. I am not keeping my mouth shut about this. Thank you.
The hinge on the rear hatch glass came unbonded from the glass. This can probably cause glass movement and shattering at highway speeds.
The speedometer reads erroneously high and often exceeds 100 mph readings while my gps reads at 70mph. There is no time at which indicated speed readings can be trusted.
As has been reported by many others, it appears that Chevrolet's problems regarding the instrument cluster in their light trucks extend beyond the 2003 and 2004 model years for which they were "offering" to extend the warranty to 70,000 miles. The speedometer in our Suburban also began reading erratically about a month ago and has now pegged itself and is stuck at 120 mph. Fortunately we did not have any incidents when the speedometer failed. However, I believe Chevrolet may have a continuing problem and more should be done to correct this very important safety component. Additionally, I would also like to mention that while I was searching for other incident reports on this matter, I discovered that the scope of this problem may be masked by the fact that it is applicable to numerous different models and years. It might be helpful for you to compile the reports for all models of the Suburban, yukon and silverado trucks and their GMC clones for the 2003 to 2005 or 2006 model years. I believe that if you combine these different models, you will see that the scope of this problem is quite larger than it might appear for each of these models separately.
