2003 GMC sierra with several problems. Consumer states that the transmission failed. Passenger side window motor broke, speedometer failed due to stepper motor failure, truck is on the third set of front brake rotors, and upper support column bearings, and more problems. The consumer stated the dealer refused to replace the upper support bearing, but replaced the intermediate shaft instead. The rear planatery forward clutch was burnt, which caused the transmission to fail.

The instrument cluster panel on my 2005 GMC sierra pick up constantly reads the wrong speed. At times it registers 0 mph when im actually driving.

Speedometer stopped working, stuck at 55mph. Apparently a well-known, well-documented factory defect. No recall apparently has been issued. At some point traffic deaths will be attributable to this defect.

2004 GMC Sierra 1500 with 46,500 miles - yesterday the speedometer stopped resetting back to 0, rather it stayed up around 60-90 when the truck was stopped as well as turned off. Called dealer in an attempt to have this repaired under the special coverage adjustment/instrument cluster (effective as of 9-28-07).

Speedometer suffers erratic operation. I have of a picture of the speedometer registering 90 mph while idling in the drive way. At highway speed the speedometer is "off the scale. ".

Speedometer has failed and the truck is out of warranty. However, I see that this is a very big problem in these vehicles and general motors is aware of it.

Speedometer sticks and gives false readings.

The contact owns a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500. While driving 65 mph and approaching a stop, the speedometer continued to display that the vehicle was traveling 65 mph. After resuming at approximately 25 mph, the speedometer displayed 75 mph. When the contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, the speedometer went from 70 - 140 mph before he resumed driving. The speedometer remained there after the vehicle was turned off and has not changed. The vehicle has not yet been diagnosed. The purchase date was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 62,000.

The speedometer failed after 60,000 miles.

I have had two occurrences where the speedometer sticks and/or registers speeds different from what is being driven. In the latest instance, while driving 65 mph on an interstate it started fluctuating to where it was registering 120 mph. When I stopped at a truck stop and shut the engine off it was still registering 40 mph. The first time this happened, I was driving in heavy rain. I thought possibly the rain may have had something to do with it if moisture had gotten in to the electronics somewhere. After a few days it started working normally again until last night.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that the instrument panel gauges were not visible during the daytime. The only way any of the gauges can barely be seen is by activating the headlights or using a flashlight. When he took the vehicle to the dealer, they gave him the run around. The contact was advised by a GMC customer service representative to call the better business bureau. The current mileage was 15,069 and failure mileage was 1,200.

Speedometer not working.

Speedometer not working properly. Reads 35 mph when stopped/not running and 40-50 mph higher than actual speed when driving.

2004 GMC sierra truck speedometer reads over 120mph when driving on highway and reads 30 to 60mph when stopped. Repeated starting and turning off engine resets the speedometer to 0 when stopped, but only for a short time. It jumps back up to over 120mph when driving again.

While driving the speedometer stuck at 60 mph and would not return to zero. When the truck was restarted and driven the speedometer went around past the 120 mph on the gauge. I did get the speedometer back to zero by starting and then turning the ignition off quickly. I continued to do these because the speedometer would fall aprox 5 mph every time that I did this. It took about 12 times to get it down to zero. This is the first problem that I have encountered with my 2004 GMC. I have about 29000 miles on this truck.

I am experiencing the same problem as below with my instrument panel led lights going out. My truck only has 56,000 miles on it. Make : GMC model : Sierra 1500 year : 1999 crash : no fire : no number of injuries: 0 odi id number : 10262724 date of failure: January 1, 2005 component: electrical system.

Upon purchasing the vehicle I noticed prior to purchase that the fuel gauge did not read accuratly. The dealership agreed to reimburse me for the cost of the fix. After a day or two durring a short in town drive I noticed my speedometer was acting "jerky". I arrived at my destination, but when I left the speedometer was reading 60mph at a stop. At what I estimated to be 65mph the speedometer read 120mph. Gm has been aware of this wide spread problem for almost a year but they refuse to issue a recall on a obviously flawed product.

Odometer failure. Began showing erratic, incorrect speeds, starting around 80,000 miles. At +/-85,000 miles the odometer is stuck at 120mph and completely inoperative.

Speedometer stops working at times, gets stuck around 70mph while driving sometimes at other speeds. When the truck is turned off it does not go to zero instead it goes to 20-40mph and then I guess it thinks that's where zero starts. Truck only had 42,000 miles when these problems started and it seems to be getting worse. The truck is a 2004 GMC sierra z71 almost new. Sometimes I don't know how fast I'm going when this happens.

Faulty speedometer readings on a 2004 GMC sierra with 40,000 miles.

Electrical - instrument panel. The instrument panel is impossible to read at most times during daylight. GMC does light up the odometer/dic and gear indicator but speedometer, rpm, fuel, oil, oil, water all are not readable at most times.

I cannot see the instruments on my 2007 gm sierra on a sunny day. Not even the speedometer. Turning on the lights does little to help. Gm knows about the problem, but does not seem to be in a hurry to fix the problem. Gm document id# 1879131 dated 12/19/06.

2004 GMC sierra speedometer failure. Sticks on 40-50 mph.

Speedometer on my 03 GMC sierra truck stops working then works erratically,shows im going 120 when only traveling at 35 or so. I have been reading post on forum sites and seems to be a chronic problem from gm.

I have a 2004 GMC sierra z71, and the speedometer has begun to perform erratically. It no longer returns to 0 while stopped, and never goes below 35 mph. This has just begun, and apparently judging by the number of similar complaints (over 350 in one forum alone) I have found on web forums this is a very well known problem to gm.
