problem #1

Jan 232007

(reported on)

Silverado LS 5.3L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 49,521 miles

My 2004 chevy silverado speedometer began to malfunction after 49, 000 miles. it would occasionally work but now it has quit working altogether. I have to guess my speed using the tachometer.

This can't be acceptable by the national highway traffic safety administration. I have complained to them but have not heard anything. I have also complained to chevy's email address and they advised there is no recall. I have visited numerous websites and observed complaints nationwide for similar problems on various gm/chevrolet vehicles.

Why is there no recall on such an obvious manufacturers problem?

Maybe if more people contact chevrolet/gm and nhtsa there will be a recall.
