The instrument panel cluster gauges don't always work. We were on freeway when we noticed speedometer had failed as well as fuel gauge , temp gauge all gauges inoperative. This is third time cluster panel is being replaced; first two under warranty third time we had to pay $204.

What owners say
My vehicle had brake lines replace two times with less than 65,000 miles because breaks stop working. Fuel line replaced under 55,000 miles because it made check engine light come on speedometer erratic,oil pressure gauge high and low,fuel gauge erratic under 65,000 miles. Loud noise from engine service technician reported the exhaust manifold bolts has broken to call a white smoke from the motor. Everything happened with consider to be low mileage in talking to gm they don't care because enough report has not been made.
Started with speedometer, then gas gauge, then everything else on the dashboard stopped working
Im the owner of a 2004 gmc hd sierra truck with almost 74k miles. Im the original owner. Some months back the gas gauge stated showing gas readings way beyond full.it would stay that way for some time before going back to normal than it would fail again. Last week the speedometer gauge went beyond the 120 mile reading and continues to show high speeds -even when im parked. Im concern about danger this failures may cause to me or other drivers on the road. I will contact my local gmc dealer for a fix.
Instrument cluster malfunction. To the best of my knowledge the only gauges working properly are the tachometer and fuel gauge. It began with intermittent speedometer malfunction. Took it in as warranty work but the service dept. Could not duplicate the issue. After the warranty expired the issue resurfaced. I asked about any recalls or complaints regarding the cluster gauges malfunctioning at every visit for service. No recalls or complaints received according to them. Did some research on the subject. Found a few similar complaints in blogs but no action from gm. The problem began to cascade and soon all gauges except for the tach and fuel began to fail. Not fix as of yet. Gm has a notice out on it but refuses to repair my truck due to having too many miles. They even found documentation at the dealership service dept. For the original speedometer malfunction but they state it wasn't a strong enough complaint.
Gauge cluster inoperative. Speedometer, oil pressure gauge and fuel gauge giving false readings.
