My 2004 chevy 2500 instrument cluster has issues. On 12-24-07 on a family christmas trip my speedometer stopped working. I received a letter from chevrolet explaining that they would cover this issue for 7 years or 70,000 miles. It seems to me if they know this is an issue why there is no recall for this. After many days of calls to chevrolet customer service they tell me that this is not a safety concern and that…

My speedometer is intermittently functioning. Gm says that i have too many miles on my vehicle to pay for the repairs. This is a 2004 chevrolet silverado and gm has already extended the warranty on this item for 7 years or 70,000 miles. This is an electronics problem and mileage should not be a factor on it. The mileage has no bearing the electronic functionality of this device. It should be time and time only that…

Intermittent and erroneous operation of the speedometer in my 2004 chevrolet silverado 2500 diesel truck. The speedometer frequently indicates the wrong speeds, at time over +100mph. At other times, indicates speeds less than actual or freezes altogether. Gm refuses to acknowledge issue or offer to repair. This is a serious safety issue and can result in driving at speeds above or below posted limits. *tr
