2004 GMC Sierra 1500

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. *JB

I BOUGHT NEW GMC SIERRRA IN MID 2004, TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER ST. TRUCK EXHIBITS VERY POOR WET TRACTION AND EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. WHEN TIRE WAS APPROXIMATELY AT 18,000 MILES HAD SERIOUS SPIN OUT ON I75 SOUTH OF TAMPA IN LITE RAINY CONDITION. SINCE THEN NOTICED TIRE SPIN ON SLIGHTEST WET ROADS, EVEN HAS TROUBLE PULLING OUT OF CAR WASHES. THIS IS DANGEROUS TIRE AND SHOULD NOT BE INSTILLED ON LARGE VEHICLES. TIRE IS DOWN TO WEAR MARKS AND ONLY HAS 28000 MILES. TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND MAINTAINED ONLY BY GM DEALERS. GOODYEAR DEALER STATES THIS TIRE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON FULL SIZE TRUCKS, IT WILL WEAR EXCESSIVELY AND MAY LEAD TO BLOWOUT. DEALERSHIP WON'T DO ANYTHING AND GOODYEAR STATES IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLED BY MANUFACTURER. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY, AFTER DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY CHEVEROLET FULL SIZE VEHICLES. THIS WAS VERY OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN SITTING AT A STOP SIGN THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 35-40 MPH, AND WAS EITHER STUCK OR READ COMPLETLY INCORRECT.*AK

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC SIERRA PICK UP WITH A CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE OF 40,000 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS WORKING IMPROPERLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP THE SPEEDOMETER READ THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 120 MPH. WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT REGISTERING THE SPEED CORRECTLY. THE CONTACT WOULD KEEP UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC TO TRY TO GAGE THE VEHICLES SPEED. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER MOTOR.
