Instrument cluster failure, tachometer, and speedometer are inoperable, but all other gauges, such as fuel level, battery meter, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and transmission temperature gas are still functioning. Own another 2005 1500 with 32,632 which has just started doing the same.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500 hd. The contact stated that the speedometer would not provide accurate speed rates.

The current mileage was approximately 106,000. The failure mileage was approximately 88,400.
At 78,000 miles speedometer pegged out at 120 MPH. Pulled cluster panel and pushed needle back down to 0. Worked fine for about 3,000 miles. Now it is a everyday repair. This is a big safety concern. I love how gm knows when these will fail at 70,000. Gm or delphi should step up to the plate and fix this.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500hd 6.0. The contact stated that he noticed that the speedometer, fuel gauge and heat odometer gave inaccurate readings.

Details: 2005 gmc sierra pick up truck. The speedometer needle will not go back to 0 when I am stopped, which causes the speedometer to read wrong MPH when driving. The problem is occurring more and more since it first began. It started for no apparent reason approximately 6 - 7 months ago. Dealer was very aware of this problem, but I am past any warranties out there. Approximate cost to me to fix from the dealer is $500. I cant afford this. However, based upon number of postings on the internet, it looks to me like a recall is in order.
2005 gmc 2500hd pickup truck, HVAC blower speed controller/relay connector got hot, burned out connector and wire, lots of smoke. It happened when turn fan to high. The failure was due to contact resistance at the connector. The wire harness end is tinted copper, the relay/controller connector is bare metal. Due to galvanization of different metal in the connection system, the connector is undersize for the black wire, which is the return current because the blower assembly is plastic. The resistance between the contact point of the connector act as heater and got hot, burn out connection and connector housing. The speed control unit, which composed of few power resistor is mounted in the air stream that it will collect vapor water due to condensation when AC is in used. This cause corrosion in the speed controller/relay board. The work around is bypass the connector by shorting the black wire from the blower motor to the black input wire that burned out. Cut the input black wire, wire nut it together with a 12 awg jumper wire, cut the black wire at the blower motor, wire nut it to the other end of the jumper wire. After the jumper put in, blower fan works in all speed and no smoke from connector and wire.

I own a 2005 gmc sierra 2500hd pickup. The speedometer on this vehicle is starting to go bad and when I am driving down the highway it will gradually loose indicated speed and then eventually go to zero. I am aware that there is currently a recall out for this type of problem, but I had my vehicle in the shop and for some reason my VIN # does not fall into the recall list so I have not got it repaired at this time. The recall document that I found is #07187c: special coverage adjustment - instrument panel cluster gauge needle function -(mar 20, 09), my question is that does your agency update this list frequently or once it is out that is all that will be covered?
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500 hd. The speedometer displayed the accurate speed driven. The manufacturer stated that the warranty for the speedometer is covered up to 75000 miles and the failure occurred at 86000 miles which was the current mileage. The contact is concerned about the safety risk involved.
Sudden problems with speedometer. Speedometer starts at between 35 and 60 MPH at a complete stop then goes up from there well past 120mph when traveling no faster then 60mph. Also does not move smoothly but rather very jumpy. This is a very well maintained truck with 54k miles on it.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500 hd. While approaching a stop sign at less than 15 MPH, the speedometer read 40 miles over the actual mileage traveled.

No repairs were made to correct the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was under 70,000 and the current mileage was under 90,000. Updated 12/07/09 *bf updated 12/09/09.
Faulty speedometer readings on 2005 gmc sierra resulting in driving at unknown speed!
Speedometer operation erratic. It suddenly reads at half the actual speed (compared to GPS reading). Then it reads zero. Other gauges and cruise control function. Worked fine after a restart but then it started reading erratically again.
Replaced every module in the heater system in my 05 gmc sierra several times, and so has just about everyone else I know who owns one. Now my wiring harness burned without blowing any fuses. Gm should have a recall on this, and find the problems, and fix them, before everyone who owns one goes broke repairing them.

Speedometer was intermittently sticking. (needle would jump up or down, not rotate smoothly with speed changes. This problem lasted approximately 2 weeks. Then started reading high or low by up to 50mph. This lasted approximately 4 days. Then needle rolled over past the 120 mark and stuck there. No repairs have been made yet.
Speedometer sticks at over 70 MPH then when you shut the vehicle off it goes to 120 and not back to 0 it may sometimes point to the odometer which is down and ill not move back till you start and stop the vehicle a number of times to reset to 0.
Wiring harness from blower motor to resistor pack located in the heater coil area under the dash on the passenger side of vehicle. This was repaired by the dealer once or twice before as far as we can see.
