2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

GM PICK UP TRUCKS HAVE WHAT IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS FAILING. ONE CAN BE CRUISING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEEDOMETER GOES CRAZY. MINE REGISTERS 120 MPH AT ALL TIMES. IT PUTS ONE IN UNKNOWN TERRITORY WHEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC NOT TO MENTION NOT KNOWING WHEN ONE IS SPEEDING. FURTHER ONE DOES NOT HOW MUCH FUEL THEY HAVE OR IF THEIR VEHICLE IS OVERHEATING. GM SENT LETTERS TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES INDICATING THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE CLUSTER IF IT WENT BAD BEFORE 72000 MILES.THEY KNOW THAT ANY OR ALL OF THE CLUSTERS ARE PRONE TO FAILURE AND GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE OWNER.THE LOCAL GM DEALER TELLS ME THAT IT IS ABOUT A $300. FIX.GM SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH SELLING VEHICLES WITH SUCH POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES. *TR
