MY 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER IS MALFUNCTIONING. SOME DAYS IT WON'T WORK AT ALL AND SOME DAYS IT FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 0-120 MPH. THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO OBEY THE SPEED LIMIT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A NATIONWIDE PROBLEM ON A VARIETY OF CHEVROLET AND GMC VEHICLES RANGING FROM 2003-2006. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? *JB

I HAVE AN '04 CHEVY SILVERADO THAT HAS A SPEEDOMETER THAT DOES NOT WORK. IT SHOWS 15 MPH WHEN I AM AT A STOP SIGN, THAN IT MOVES UP WHEN I START TO DRIVE. HOWEVER IT JUST JUMPS AROUND AND USUALLY FALLS BACK DOWN TO 15 OR 20 MPH AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES AND NEVER MOVES AGAIN UNTIL I RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THE DEALER AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR IT EXCEPT AT MY COST. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND GM NEEDS TO RECALL IT. I AM NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHER VEHICLE YEARS THIS EFFECTS BUT I HAVE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT IS HAS HAPPENED TO THEM IN THE '03 AND '05 GM VEHICLES. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO AND ACCIDENT. I HAVE NO WAY OF GAUGING MY SPEED AND I DON'T HAVE THE $700 RIGHT NOW TO GET IT REPAIRED. WHAT SHOULD I DO? *JB

VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AT AROUND 38,000 MILES RIGHT AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. TALKING TO OTHER CUSTOMERS WHEN I DROPPED OFF VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT THIS WAS NOT A RARE OCCURRENCE. TWO OTHER CUSTOMERS AT DEALER HAD SAME PROBLEM ON SIMILAR MODELS. *JB
