1 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2005 GMC Sierra

Failure Date: 11/25/2013

First the fuel gauge was erratic then failed, then the speedometer pegged and is failing to show even close to true speed as in showing 100+mph in an actual +/-35mph range. Circumstances match description of common problems with instrument cluster failures on that make and model.

2 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2009 GMC Sierra

Failure Date: 11/17/2010

I' m writing in too complain about the dashboard cluster on my 2009 GMC Sierra. I see that a recall along with a lawsuit with this same issue was submitted. I have been going back and forth with GMC on this issue since 2011. They stated it was a fuse and replaced the fuse , but my dashboard along with all the gauges go out every couple of months. I was told they didn't know what the problem was but obviously they did. This issue was noted after a class action lawsuit was filed. This is a very expensive fix that should have been taken care of when it first happened in 2011. The last time my dashboard went out (while driving) was 10/14/2014.

5 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2004 GMC Sierra

Failure Date: 04/04/2008

On three separate occasions, my dash cluster in my 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 has gone out. The 1st time was only for about an hour, but the second time, it was out for over 2 weeks, I contacted a dealer, and they told me to check the fuses, which I did, but they were fine, after it came back on, I received a letter from gm stating that there was a problem with the clusters, but they were only covering them if the vehicle was still in warranty, well by this time, my vehicle was 800 miles out of warranty(but if I had known when it was out, I was still in warranty at that time), anyway, now the cluster is out for the third time, and gm refuses to fix the problem. I have spoke to them several times, and since I am out of warranty, they refuse to do anything, even after making me take it to a dealer to have it diagnosed, when they knew it was out of warranty. My owner's manual even states it is a safety issue to run the vehicle without a working cluster, and I would like gm to fix something that they know is bad, on multiple year vehicles.

6 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2004 GMC Sierra

Failure Date: 02/15/2007

Speedometer and oil gauge failure.

7 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2004 GMC Sierra

Failure Date: 08/01/2006

The 2004 GMC Sierra speedometer started acting stuck on mph when not driving then while driving it acted as if mph started on 0 but recorded as for example: 90mph. . . (it stuck on 30mph then when driving it recorded going 90mph when actually traveling 60mph) we took the truck in a few different times to be checked and the final conclusion was that the instrument cluster was bad and needed to be replaced. I have since learned that a large volume of trucks this year, make and model have had the same problem. I feel there should be some sort of recall on this and that gm needs to have this problem taken care of.
