My speedometer on my 2004 Silverado functions incorrectly. It reads anywhere between 30 and 120 and I have no idea what my speed is. Apparently thousands and thousands of owners are having this problem. This is apparently a safety issue and there most definitely should be a recall.

Dear sirs, my son is driving our 2004 Chevy Silverado pickup and he is 16 yo. The vehicle has less than 50K miles and the speedometer started malfunctioning last week. It indicates the speed at 20-50 mph less than actual. I am aware of a forum on topix.net that has more than 327 complaints of this very problem. Surely there is a safety concern here with the possibilities of excessive speed due to the inaccuracies of the speedometer! please let me know what the status of your concerns regarding this issue. Thanks for your time! respectfully, david w. freidberg md facs.

Speedometer has been "jerky" for a month or so. This morning on my commute I set my cruise-control at 65 mph, when I checked my speed again the speedometer was reading 50 mph. I did not reset the cruise control.

Speedometer on my 2004 GM Chevy Silverado reads drastically different from actual speed while driving, making it impossible to determine actual speed which could cause a crash due to improper speed, or traffic safety violation for improper speed. GM does not have recall on this safety issue. GM is aware of this problem with many of its vehicles and demands $500 and several days to repair. They will not replace parts, only send it out for repair at owner's expense.

The speedometer has quit working. This is common on 2004 Chevy trucks like the one I own. I have asked around and it is a common repair. The failure of a speedometer is a serious failure of a safety device on any vehicle.

The gauge cluster on my 2004 Chevy Silverado has 6 gauges and after 2 years 3 of the gauges no longer work. The 3 that no longer work are the speedometer, tachometer, and voltmeter. With the speedometer no longer working it is very dangerous.

Under normal driving conditions the speedometer on some GM trucks will hang when decelerating and when accelerating again the speedometer starts from the position that it hung. The part that is failing is a motor that controls the speedometer and to replace the part you must replace the whole instrument cluster at a cost of $600. It seems to happen right around 50K miles and at that point it is no longer under warranty. It leaves you not knowing how fast you are going as well as not being able to pass a vehicle inspection.
