2004 Chevrolet Avalanche electrical problems

Filed May 13, 2015 · Electrical · 73,245 miles · MI

While driving or in park the tachometer sticks as does the speedometer. This has lasted from minutes to days. The vehicle appears to run properly, however, I am very leery of my safety and the safety of my children when they are in control of the vehicle.

While driving all my cluster gauges froze...I was parked and it still said I was going 40mph...how is this not a recall? No clue how fast I was going,nor how much fuel I had...we should be reimbursed something.

I was issued a recall a few years back specific to my vehicle about a blower motor operation malfunction. It stated that settings on the blower motor may not function properly. For example, when I turn on the air or heat I have settings for 5 blower motor options. All the settings 1-4 work just fine, setting 5 does not work at all. When I set HVAC to setting 5 no air blows out. I have since then misplaced that recall notice. If you have any information on this recall can you please get in contact with me thank you

Was driving at a rate I thought was around 65-70 MPH but got pulled over for going 84 MPH. I explained to the officer I was only going about 68 MPH. He then showed me the radar gun and it said 84mph. When I went back to my truck I noticed my gauge was stuck on 18mph I showed the officer and luckily he told me ha had the same problem with his chevy truck and let me off with just a warning. To make things worse all gauges don't work now. I've read some messages online and some people said they got letters to repair this problem. I've been the only owner of this truck since may 2004 and never received anything about this problem. I believe gm should repair the problem because it's a big safety issue. Please help. Thank you

I did an internet search to see what causes a speedometer to go out and to my surprise there are many people who have had their speedometer to go out on this model vehicle. Most people experienced this problem around 30,000 miles. It would benefit consumers if this problem were addressed by the manufacturer.

Speedometer readout stuck at 40mph while vehicle parked. If driven continues up from there and sticks. Next day speedometer resolved itself and RPM gauge is stuck on 6 when it should be reading 2-3, its' been stuck for two months still.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet avalanche. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the steering wheel became hot. The components on the steering wheel illuminated and upon further investigation the contact noticed that the wires had melted. The contact also noticed that the radio became very hot and melted the cd inside of the system. The contact also stated that the instrument cluster failed. The manufacturer was notified and stated that they would pay for a new instrument cluster, but not the installation. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 146,000.

The transfer case buttons only light up occasionally but it might be the neutral button that lights up or sometimes the two-wheel drive button. The oil pressure gauge is pegged on the right side of the guage. Yesterday my radio quit working does not even light up.
