2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO Z71 4X4 WITH 5.3L V8. AT APPROXIMATELY 50K MILES I STARTED HAVING ERRATIC/INCORRECT SPEEDOMETER READINGS AND THE SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT VARYING LOCATIONS ON THE PANEL. I MUST GAGE SPEED BY USING THE TACHOMETER. I HAVEN'T ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM YET AS THE COST WILL BE 500.00 PLUS. *NM

2004 CHEVY SILVERADO SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT RETURN TO ZERO. SPEED READING ARE ERRATIC. YOU DO NOT KNOW AT WHAT SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING. *JB

LIKE MANY OTHERS I HAVE A 2004 SILVERADO AND THE SPEEDOMETER WENT CRAZY REGISTERS WRONG, STATS OUT AT 90 MPH AND GOES OVER A HUNDRED AT ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR, I HAVE SEEN THE POSTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, LOOKS TO ME TO BE A MAJOR ACCIDENT PROBLEM! MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT! MIKE QUEEN . *JB

SPEEDO PROBLEM. SOMETIMES READS TOO LOW. SOMETIMES READS TOO HIGH. SOMETIMES READS 55 MPH SITTING STILL. SAFETY ISSUE AS I COULD BE @100 MPH WHEN SPEEDO INDICATES 55 MPH. *NM

HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM IS INEFFECTIVE IN STOPPING THIS VEHICLE. BRAKES ARE SPONGY AND GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPED OR IF HARD PRESSURE IS APPLIED. THIS VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP IF A CHILD RAN IN FRONT OF IT. THREE ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR AND NOW WE ARE TOLD IT IS PART OF THE DESIGN AND IF WE USED IT MORE THIS WOULD HELP. THE NEWER MODELS DO NOT HAVE THIS SYSTEM. I WONDER WHY? *JB

SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION. SOMETIMES IT READS TWICE THE SPEED I'M DOING OR MORE AND SOMETIMES IT READS HALF THE SPEED I'M DOING. IT VARIES. *JB

2004 CHEVREOLET SILVERADO - BOUGHT NEW SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONING (NEEDLE HANGS UP, ETC.) AT 45,000 MILES. *JB

2004 SILVERADO DRIVEN BY MY SON EVERYDAY TO HIS CLASSES HAS A SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE HAD TROUBLE GETTING SOMEONE FROM PELTIER CHEVROLET TO CALL BE BACK AFTER LEAVING MESSAGES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONCERN. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE RELATED COMPLAINTS ALREADY ON THIS SPEEDOMETER BUT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD, IT IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. *NM

2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Z71 W/ 44,300 MILES IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE NEWER GMS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TURNING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM RETURNED A YEAR LATER AND THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME. WHEN THE PROBLEM RETURNED A THIRD TIME, A YEAR LATER, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE MANUFACTURER AUTHORIZED REPAIR WAS LUBING THE STEERING COLUMN.
