The contact owns a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that the instrument panel gauges were not visible during the daytime. The only way any of the gauges can barely be seen is by activating the headlights or using a flashlight. When he took the vehicle to the dealer, they gave him the run around. The contact was advised by a GMC customer service representative to call the better business bureau. The current mileage was 15,069 and failure mileage was 1,200.

I cannot see the instruments on my 2007 GM Sierra on a sunny day. Not even the speedometer. Turning on the lights does little to help. GM knows about the problem, but does not seem to be in a hurry to fix the problem. GM document id# 1879131 dated 12/19/06.

I purchased a brand new 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup from lone star Pontiac Buick GMC in mckinney, Texas on 11/18/06. Only after being pulled over for speeding did I realize the speedometer was not calibrated correctly after the dealership had installed an after-market lift kit and large tires and wheels on this truck. I discovered by calling another GM dealer that because the speedometer is not calibrated correctly it causes the anti-lock brake system to not function properly. The dealership willfully and without regard to the safety of its customers sold vehicles like mine that had brake systems that did not work properly. The general manager confirmed that they have sold many trucks like this so it is reasonable to assume there are many trucks on the road now which may have faulty anti-lock braking systems. I am concerned for everyone else that purchased one of these trucks and aren't aware their brakes don't work right. The general manager told me that the speedometers can not be calibrated correctly.
