2004 GMC Sierra 1500

WHILE DRIVING MY GMC SIERRA THE SPEEDOMETER READING IS GROSSLY AND OBVIOUSLY INACCURATE. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAYS THAT GM PARTS WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $600 AND THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER SHOP SAYS HE SEES SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK ON THIS MODEL OF PICKUP. USING MY GPS FOR SPEED MONITORING SINCE I DON'T WANT TO PAY GM AN EXORBITANT REPAIR FEE FOR SOMETHING THEY AREN'T STANDING BEHIND. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC SIERRA AND WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE OTHER DAY, MY SPEEDOMETER JUMPED ALL THE WAY UP TO 105MPH. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT THE ODOMETER READ 50MPH, EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T MOVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. I HAD BEEN NOTICING STRANGE GAGE READING ON MY CLUSTER PANEL FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 5,000 MILES (STARTED AT 72K). MY TRUCK NOW HAS 78,000 MILES ON IT AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD COVER THE PARTS FOR A REPLACEMENT INSTRUMENT PANEL BUT, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND THE LABOR. SINCE THIS IS A KNOW SAFETY ISSUE, GM SHOULDN'T BE LEFT TO FIGURE OUT IF THEY CAN SIDE STEP A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND PUT PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIGHT FOR REPAIRS AND FURTHER PUT THEIR FAMILIES IN UNSAFE VEHICLES WHILE THESE KINDS OF ISSUES GET SORTED OUT. *TR
