I have a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500. I am having several problems with the instrument panel, speedometer not reading properly, temp gauge wrong readings. The dealers want $750 to repair if the vehicle is over 75,000 miles. They have said they sent recall information for this problem, I have never received anything of the sort. For a vehicle I paid 32, 000 for I find this to be unsat. GMC needs to fix this problem free of charge for there customers, I would expect this treatment from a Ford dealer.

Speedometer quit working. Has been acting up for months did not work at all today.

- Dover, PA, USA

I have a 2004 GMC Sierra and while driving home from work the other day, my speedometer jumped all the way up to 105mph. When I came to a stop light the odometer read 50mph, even though I wasn't moving. This is a huge safety concern for me. I had been noticing strange gage reading on my cluster panel for approximately the last 5,000 miles (started at 72K). My truck now has 78,000 miles on it and the dealership said they would cover the parts for a replacement instrument panel but, I would have to pay for the diagnosis and the labor. Since this is a know safety issue, GM shouldn't be left to figure out if they can side step a wide spread problem and put people's lives at risk. Customers should not have to fight for repairs and further put their families in unsafe vehicles while these kinds of issues get sorted out.

Speedometer stopped working, stuck at 55mph. Apparently a well-known, well-documented factory defect. No recall apparently has been issued. At some point traffic deaths will be attributable to this defect.

2004 GMC Sierra 1500 with 46,500 miles - yesterday the speedometer stopped resetting back to 0, rather it stayed up around 60-90 when the truck was stopped as well as turned off.

Speedometer suffers erratic operation. I have of a picture of the speedometer registering 90 mph while idling in the drive way. At highway speed the speedometer is "off the scale."

- Wake Forest, NC, USA

The contact owns a 2004 GMC Sierra 1500. The speedometer worked intermittently and displayed inaccurate speeds before completely failing. The vehicle was under warranty, but the dealer stated that the failure was not a warranty item. The vehicle was not repaired at that time and has since worsened. General Motors has a letter of intent on the instrument panel, but because the vehicle has exceeded the 70,000 miles specified in the letter, the contact was denied the repair. The current mileage was 98,000 and failure mileage was 60,000.

Speedometer not working.

- Dearborn, MI, USA

I have had two occurrences where the speedometer sticks and/or registers speeds different from what is being driven. In the latest instance, while driving 65 mph on an interstate it started fluctuating to where it was registering 120 mph. When I stopped at a truck stop and shut the engine off it was still registering 40 mph. The first time this happened, I was driving in heavy rain. I thought possibly the rain may have had something to do with it if moisture had gotten in to the electronics somewhere. After a few days it started working normally again until last night.
