2004 GMC Sierra 2500 electrical complaints

Tl*- the contact stated that any time he drives his 2004 gmc sierra (80000 failure mileage) his speedometer does not register the correct speed. The contact stated that while sitting idle in a parking lot it registers 55 MPH. The contact had an appointment with the dealer 3/20/2007 to look into the problem. The current mileage was 81000.
Gauge cluster inoperative. Speedometer, oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge giving false readings.
I found myself driving 80 MPH when my speedometer was reading 65 MPH. After keeping track of this it progressively got worse. It reads wrong every time now. Under "number of failures" I am just guessing at a number because it has failed every time I have driven since the fist time.
The speedometer and gauges such as oil pressure, RPM etc. Are reading wrong and most of the time don't work. This problem is still going on in our 04 gmc sierra.
Driving on the interstate, my speedometer started indicating I was doing 20 MPH while I was actually going at least 60 MPH. It proceeded to only indicate speeds from approx -10 MPH to 10 MPH. Then the oil pressure gauge went 180 degrees beyond it's max, then the battery gauge did the same.
I own a 2004 gmc sierra 2500 crew cab pickup with 59,000 miles. In the last 4 months the speedometer has been giving incorrect readings, I.e. 70 MPH when stopped, 115 when doing 40 MPH etc. On occasion, it either doesn't work at all, or the needle is fully pegged. There is no way to tell how fast this vehicle is going. Gmc customer service has stated that they can provide no financial assistance for the $320 repair because "they cannot make a business case for it." gmc refuses to acknowledge that this is a pervasive problem throughout many of their vehicles in this model year despite ample documentation of the problem easily found at auto repair websites on the internet. Additionally, previous complaints of this exact nature and exact vehicle have been filed with the federal safety agency.
Dt*: the contact stated the speedometer went out on the vehicle. The service dealer offered to fix at a charge but the contact declined and expressed that the component should be recalled.*ak updated 9/13/2006 -
