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.

My 2017 gmc 2500 sierra denali duramax has had this throttle issue, it seems to only do it when the exhaust stinks, and at speeds between 5 - 55 MPH. If I take my foot off the accelerator the truck maintains RPM (1200 - 1400) or even has increased some and has lasted 2 - 5 seconds (estimated and greatly reduces the effectiveness of the braking capacity and responsiveness/stopping distance). Worst was with a huge trailer behind and I got up to speed 55 on county hwy 8, and I let off the accelerator and it kept going hard and I got on the brakes and I couldn't slow it down until the truck decided to release off the throttle.(two witnesses in the vehicle, one a gm tech, stating your vehicle is not safe and needs to be looked at) it's happened about 25 times in 5700 miles in various settings & speeds and has occurred frequently in town at speeds of 25 - 35 MPH. There maybe several hundred miles in between episodes if you will, as they occur in clusters when exhaust stinks and gone when exhaust does not stink. Truck also had torque converter not unlock and [xxx] near choked the engine off at stop sign right after a throttle stuck condition. Got home the other night and fuel gauge stopped working! Back up camera is daylight bright at night, low coolant issues, map sensor issue, engine surged the other day, what next? It's constantly been at dealerships with no answers. My wife won't drive it anymore and wishes I wouldn't either fearing it will cause an accident and she's probably right. Gm has stated they are aware of the problem but will not provide any trade in assistance dollars to get it off the road and there is no fix. $70,000+ truck, lives at risk and no serious response from gm?

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.

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.

I heard recently that you are investigating faulty fuel gauges on gm vehicles. I own a 2008 gmc sierra whose fuel gauge gives inaccurate readings also .

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.
