Erratic speedometer.
- Ashburnham, MA, USA
The speedometer on my 2003 GMC Sierra sle is faulty. It began at approximately 37,000 miles and reads between 20-60 mph higher than my actual speed. The problem was initially isolated to the speedometer, but now my tachometer is now reading 800-2000 RPM higher than actual and the amp meter has also started to reading high. I contacted a local GMC dealership and got an estimate of around $600 dollars to fix the problem. The technician I spoke to at the GMC dealership informed me that there have been many similar complaints from GMC owners but no recall has been initiated. I did some research online and found discussion forums where many other GMC owners are experiencing the same problems. I believe this to be a safety issue that needs to be addressed and GMC confronted with a solution.

The speedometer, the heat gauge, and my battery gauge are all pegged and do not work at all on my 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 with 50K miles...I've read numerous message boards and I am not the only one...there are thousands of people who have the same problem with their GMC's...
