Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 81 of 81, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Speedometer not working properly.
Speedometer fails to reset to zero. When vehicle comes to a stop, the speedometer indicator stops at a speed above zero (I.e., 30, 40, 50 MPH). When the vehicle resumes traveling, the speedometer indicator starts incrementing at the speed at which it stopped (I.e., 30, 40, 50 MPH). Therefore, the indicated speed is much higher than the actual speed. This is not one incident, but an ongoing continuous problem, and very dangerous.
2004 gmc sierra at 50,000 miles developed a speedometer short in the instrument cluster which caused wild swings in MPH readings. After mentioning it to a friend with a chevy silverado, same year and mileage , I found he had the identical problem . I had the cluster replaced at my cost.
Speedometer is erratic in function I have 44,000 miles on my 2004 gmc sierra and the speedometer is in need of repair or replacement.
Speedometer acting erratic, speedometer may register 120 MPH when I'm going 60 MPH. Then it finally quits. It costs a lot of money to get replaced. I do not know how fast or slow I'm going which endangers me and everybody around me.
My speedometer on my 2004 gmc sierra has become erratic. Sometimes it is zero even if the vehicle is moving. Sometimes it registers 120 MPH sitting still. It is very difficult to judge speed in school zones. No know events LED to the failure. The repair bill will be about $500 I am told.
My speedometer on my 2004 gmc z71 works erratically. Sometimes it will peg out at 120 or it sticks at 70 MPH. When I see the speedometer, it seems like it is working like a clock. It sticks and releases.
Speedometer displays erroneous readings, never correct.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds, the engine stalled without warning and would not restart. The vehicle was towed to a dealer who determined the ignition harness needed replaced. After the ignition harness replacement, the problem persisted. The vehicle is currently awaiting further inspection by the dealer. The manufacturer was alerted.
Upon entering the vehicle there was no power. Aaa was called, and it would not take a jump. The dealer repaired the battery cable bolt that became defective from acid. The battery cable prong and wires were replaced at consumer's expense. *ak *sc
