2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2005 SILVERADO ACTS ERRATICALLY. READS INCORRECT SPEED. WILL STOP ON 80MPH WHEN VEHICLE IS STANDING STILL. I CAN NO LONGER RELY ON THE SPEEDOMETER TO ACCURATELY DISPLAY CURRENT SPEED. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, SINCE 2003. MY TRUCK HAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. IT CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION, SINCE I CAN NOT DETERMINE THE CORRECT VEHICLE SPEED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 75 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2003 AND 2004 SILVERADO'S PERTAINING TO THE SPEEDOMETER, BUT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON HIS 2005 VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN OPERATING PROPERLY A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER, WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 80 MPH. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK ON 128 MPH. THE FOLLOWING DAY, SHE NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL REGISTERING 128 MPH AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING. THE CONTACT HAS AN APPOINTMENT AT HER LOCAL DEALER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NO COMPENSATION WOULD BE MADE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,200.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE AND WHEN I LOOKER AT MY SPEEDOMETER I WAS DOING 110MPH AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP IT DISPLAYED 60MPH THAT HAPPENED 12/31/08 AT 70,000 MILES. SO FAR MY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 SILVERADO AT 20,000 MILES I HAD THE STEERING WHEEL CLUMP FIXED BY PACKING IT WITH GREASE NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK,AT 60,000 MILES MY FUEL PUMP FAILED ON A ROAD TRIP AFTER I STARTED TO FILL HESITATION LIKE STARVING FOR GAS- COST$ 700.00, AT 65,000 MILES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS PLUGGED UP THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD BLINK AND WOULD HESITATE REALLY BAD WHEN YOU WOULD PUNCH IT INTO PASSING GEAR. IT DIDN'T COST ME ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE EMISSION LAW 70,000 OR 7YRS,AND IT JUST TURNED OVER 70,000. BUT I STILL LOVE MY TRUCK AND I ALWAYS DRIVE A CHEVY. THAT FUEL PUMP COULD BE FIXED EASY IF THEY WOULD PUT A ACCESS DOOR IN THE TRUCK BED BECAUSE GM FUEL PUMPS ARE JUNK, SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY CHEVY ASTRO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE REGISTERED A SPEED OF 120 MPH WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH; HOWEVER, IN A SCHOOL ZONE IT REGISTERED 80 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER RECENTLY READ 0 MPH AND WOULD NOT INCREASE BEYOND THAT SPEED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY AVAILABLE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE REPAIR COST WOULD BE OVER $500 NOT INCLUDING THE LABOR COSTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,964 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.UPDATED 03/10/09.*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT 20 MPH. UPDATED 03/10/09.*JB

2005 SILVERADO INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILS. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS AT 23K MILES (MAR 07). THE ENGINE HOURS KEPT RESETTING. NOW MY VEHICLE HAS 43K MILES AND ALL GAUGES ARE FAULTY. THE GAS GAUGE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND BACK REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. THE ENGINE HOUR KEEPS RESETTING BACK TO ZERO AND THE TEMP GAUGE MOVES FROM HOT TO COLD AND BACK. THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING ON OUR OFFICE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO GM SPECIAL BULLETINS THIS IS COVERED FOR 03 AND 04 MODELS USING THE SAME IPC. WHY ISN'T THIS COVERED FOR 05 MODELS AS WELL? IF THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SHORTING OUT THE IPC IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY GM AND NOT THE CONSUMER. THIS IS ONLY ONE OF MANY PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THIS 2005 MODEL. *TR

ONE MORNING IT JUST DIDN'T WORK. NOW IT WORKS SOMETIMES. IT DOESN'T WORK WHEN THE TRUCK STARTS UP, THEN STARTS WORKING AFTER I STOP ABOUT 40 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES IT SAYS IM DOING 120 MPH OR 0 MPH. IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. I HAVE TO USE MY GPS SO I KNOW HOW FAST IM GOING. I THINK CHEVROLET SHOULD STEP UP AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL SO I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT I NOTICED MY TACHOMETER & SPEEDOMETER BOTH BOUNCING ERRATICALLY. TACHOMETER STILL STAYS IN BETWEEN 4 AND 5 THOUSAND EXCEPT WHEN ENGINE IS OFF. SPEEDOMETER IS ANY WHERE FROM 30 ABOVE TO 30 BELOW ACTUAL SPEED. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED TWICE FOR SPEEDING WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC SINCE GAUGES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. ONE OF THE OFFICERS WHO STOPPED ME DID NOT WRITE A TICKET BECAUSE HE OWNS A SILVERADO AS WELL AND HIS SPEEDOMETER HAD BEEN OUT FOR OVER 2 MONTHS ALSO. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

AT 57,055 MY 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND SINCE I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A CLASS ACTION SUIT I REFERRED TO THIS LETTER HOWEVER IT ONLY COVERED THE 2003 AND 2004 MODELS. I FEEL THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS AN ESSENTIAL PART IN THE SAFETY OF A VEHICLE AND THEREFORE AM PAYING MY $200 DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE THE SPEEDOMETER FIXED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN, BUT I ALSO FEEL THAT GM IS AWARE OF THAT THIS PROBLEM EXTENDS BEYOND THE 2004 MODELS AND IS FAILING IN THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE BY NOT EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO COVER ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR

SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE 65,000 MILES AND IT IS REGISTERING 120 MPH AND AT STOP SIGNS 60 MPH. DEALER SAID NOTICE WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 2003-2004 MODELS - DEALER SAID THE 2005 MODELS WERE FIXED--THAT IS NOT SO AND I'M PROOF. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHEVROLET DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBLITY FOR THEIR MALFUNCTION. THIS COULD CREATE A SERIOUS CRASH AS WELL AS TICKETS. *TR
