2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER THE PROPER SPEED WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. SPEEDOMETER REGISTERS FROM 0 MPH TO NEAR ACCURATE SPEEDS. THE INACCURATE READINGS COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE THAT COULD RESULT IN RISK OF INJURY TO SELF AND OTHERS BY NOT BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED LIMIT REQUIREMENTS.*AK

2004 SILVERADO 2500 HD SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING. IT IS READING 10 OR 20 MPH SETTING STILL IN PARK. *JB

SPEEDOMETER IS BEHAVING ERRATICALLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL READ WITHIN 5 OR 10 MPH OF ACTUAL SPEED (SOMETIMES HIGH AND SOMETIMES LOW) AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL READ 0 OR 100+. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO UNKNOWINGLY TRAVEL BEYOND THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS AT TIMES AND IS CREATING AN UNSAFE DRIVING ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER OF MY 04 CHEVY TRUCK IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. IT STAYS ON 0, GOES UP WAY OVER THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING AND THEN STICKS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 100+ COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS GOOGLE SITES. MOST NOTICEABLY THIS ONE. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-AVALANCHE/TJI11LGM9554MERNA/P3#LASTPOST.*JB

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE. THE CLUSTER FAILED WITHIN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT CLUSTER FAILED A YEAR LATER. THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT THEY REPAIR THE CLUSTERS THEY REPLACE AND SELL THEM AS NEW. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THEY REPAIR THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH THE RETURNED CLUSTER AND THAT THE CLUSTERS ARE SUBJECT TO FAIL AGAIN. IF THE CLUSTER IS REPLACED AS NEW IT SHOULD BE A NEW UNIT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPLACEMENT CLUSTER WAS SOLD WITHOUT WARRANTY AND THAT IT COULD FAIL AGAIN. THE TECH THAT WORKED ON MY TRUCK SAID THAT HE REPLACES THESE CLUSTERS OFTEN. *NM

I OWN A 04 CHEVROLET 2500 HD. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO MY SPEEDOMETER GOT STUCK ON 10 MPH WHEN I WAS STOPPED. TO THIS DAY IT IS STILL NO WORKING PROPERLY SHOWING ANY WHERE FROM 20-40 MPH WHEN I'M STOPPED. THIS RESULTS IN INACCURATE READINGS WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TODAY.

ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER. OCCASIONALLY SHOWS INCORRECT, HIGHER OR LOWER THAN REALISTIC READING. *NM

THE NEEDLE ON MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT REGISTERING THE PROPER SPEED, SOME DAYS IT JUST GETS STUCK AT THE 120 MPH AND DOESN'T MOVE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY GM DEALERSHIPS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS TRUCK. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? THIS IS NOT SAFE BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I'M TRAVELING. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THIS PART AS OF YET. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF THE SPEEDOMETER READS 90 MPH, AND WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD IT READS 120 MPH. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL LATE MODEL GM VEHICLES. THIS IS UNSAFE AND GM SHOULD BE MADE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 SILVERADO 2500HD(C/K) WITH 51,000+ MILES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND JUST STARTED AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SPEEDOMETER OPERATES ERRATICALLY BY SHOWING VARIOUS SPEEDS SUCH AS 80 MPH WHILE I AM DRIVING 25 MPH OR SHOWN 120 MPH WHILE I AM STOPPED. AT TIME IT MIGHT WORK PROPERLY BUT THEN JUMP TO 60 MPH WHILE I AM DRIVING 20 OR WHILE I AM SITTING STILL. MY DEALER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WILL REPAIR IT FOR $580.00 I CONTINUE TO DRIVE USING THE TACHOMETER TO GAUGE MY SPEEDS AND SPEED CONTROLS TO MAINTAIN SPEEDS WHILE IN MOUNTAINOUS OR HILLY TERRAIN. *JB
