My speedometer begin skipping on my 05 chevy avalanche when I was driving. It did this for about a week or so. Then it started showing that I was doing 20-MPH faster than I was actually going. When I would stop, it would still indicate I was going 20-40mpn. Finally, on feb 4th, it got stuck at over 120 MPH. So now I no longer have a working speedometer.

Chevy avalanche - first speedometer stopped working as well as RPM gauge. Next gas & oil gauge stopped working as well. Now it's hit or miss when they will work again. Very dangerous. Dealership not cooperative to fix. Recall needed!!

I took my son to school and after I drop him off,my speedometer stopped working! It was saying I was going 120 miles an hour! I call the dealership them told oh they go out all of the time?
Speedometer will read erratically at times. While at a stop light, speedometer dial will read a value other than zero MPH (60mph for example). Then eventually the dial will return to zero. Then it will repeat the above again...
My speedometer is stuck on 0.
I am posting this to help others and get this information on the internet. I own a 2005 avalanche 1500 2/wd with 22000 miles. At about 19000 miles, while driving at night I heard a click the lights in the instrument panel went out. Dealer replaced the instrument panel, with in 3 days another click and the lights went out. Dealer replaced instrument panel and the next time I drive at night "click" and the lights went out. Now my dealer has had my truck in his shop for 7 days and I don't know when I will get it back. For a vehicle to blow 4 instrument panels, which cost $600.00 a piece plus installation, makes me wonder if this might be a common problem and a recall should made so gm would be responsible for repairs. I will also send this to the nhsta.
