HAVE A 2005 CHEVY 2500HD TRUCK HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER STICKING AT 55-60 NOW IT HAS STOPPED ON 57MPH AND GOES TO 120MPH AND IS NOW STUCK AT THAT POINT. WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER FIRST STOPPED THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3/4 TON TRUCK. THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK IN THE 6 O'CLOCK POSITION, AND WON'T MOVE, THE ODOMETER DOESN'T WORK, AND NOW THE FUEL GUAGE QUIT WORKING. I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE BY USING THE GUAGE, AND WITHOUT AN ODOMETER OR TRIPOMETER I CAN'T EVEN USE MATH TO FIGURE IT OUT. PLUS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I'M GOING. I HEAR THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED PROBLEM, WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS? *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY 2500 I HAVE HAD THE STEERING SHAFT REPLACED 2 TIMES ALREADY AND NOW AT 80,000 MILES IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, THEY SAY ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. WELL MAYBE THEY SHOULD DRIVE IT FOR A DAY THEY WOULD THINK OTHERWISE. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAFT AND ALL IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT OF THE TRUCK , I AM AFRAID TO EVEN HAVE MY FAMILY RIDE IT THE VEHICLE WITH ME. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS HAS BEEN A ONGOING PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AND GM HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. I WOULD ADVISE WHOM EVER TO GET ONLINE AND RESEARCH ALL OF THE BLOGS ETC OF PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM THEIR ARE SO MANY IT WOULD TAKE ME MONTHS TO READ THEM ALL. I SPOKE WILL GM AGAIN LAST WEEK AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT YOUR OFFICE AND REPORT IT TO YOU IF I WANT THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IF THE STEERING SHAFT VIBRATES LONG ENOUGH IT WILL BREAK AND THEN NO STEERING. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE AND HELPING ME AND THE MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. AGAIN THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME THIS PART HAS BEEN REPLACED FIRST AT 20,000 THEN 42,000 AND NOW AT 78,000. *TR
