MY 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO'S SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL READ 120 MPH WHEN I'M GOING 20 MPH. DEALER SAID IT NEEDS A NEW SPEEDOMETER THAT WILL COST ABOUT $500.00. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON IN ALL NEWER GM VEHICLES FROM ABOUT 40-50 THOUSAND MILES, JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, AS THIS PROBLEM CAN BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS-YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM, WILL RETHINK WHEN I BUY NEW VEHICLE. *NM

SPEEDOMETER MALFUNTIONED ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD. I NOTICED THE MALFUNTION ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE TRAVELING AT SAME SPEED AS OTHER DRIVERS. MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 50 MILES PER HOUR AND THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT WAS 70 MILES PER HOUR. I KNOW THAT THE AVERAGE SPEED ON THAT ROUTE IS BETWEEN 70 AND 75 MILES PER HOUR. IF SOMEONE WERE TO DRIVE THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE WITH THE SPEEDOMETER READING 20 MILES PER HOUR AND WERE TO INJURE A CHILD WHILE THE ACTUAL SPEED TRAVELED WAS IN THE 40-45 MILE PER HOUR RANGE IT WOULD BE GM'S FAULT. IT IS WELL KNOWN TO CHEVY OWNERS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS PARTICULAR INSRUMENT CLUSTER AND WELL KNOWN TO GM. SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE, BUT AS OF TODAY NO RECALLS HAVE TAKEN EFFECT. *NM

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF IT IS READING 50MPH RIGHT NOW. I ALSO DO NOT GET ACCURATE SPEED READINGS WHILE DRIVING, WHICH COULD LEAD TO ME DRIVING TO FAST/SLOW AND POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS.
