Sierra 1500

  • miles
An accident has not occurred yet, but it something I'm concerned deeply about. Awhile back there was a recall on the instrument cluster of the gmc Sierra 1500 (possibly othets on the list, im sure). I did wind up having the cluster replaced, there didn't seem to be any issues at the time. Now...the replacement cluster has gone haywire. I notice no issues with operations at this time. But the cluster doesn't register certain things or it fluctuates on and off, or doesn't read correctly at all. Is it possible that the replacement could have been bad as well?

Speedometer acts all erratic, sometimes will show I am going 30 mph more then I really am, may sometimes show the needle being buried and not going over 20 mph actually, sometimes doesn't register at all, needle is jumpy, and at other times it will go back to normal for a few days without any incidents. This all started happening once my vehicle hit 51K miles. The dealership stated it may be the instrument cluster and could cost upwards of $1300 to replace.
