2004 GMC SIERRA Complaints

ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER - AFTER 20-30MIN. DRIVING, NEEDLE WILL SUDDENLY DROP TO 10MPH AND YOUR STILL AT 55 OR HIGHER. WILL EVENTUALLY GO TO 0. ONCE VEHICLED COOLS DOWN, SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO WORK AGAIN, TEMPORARILY.

1) AFTER PASSING 50,000 ON MY 04 GMC SIERRA 2) SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING CORRECTING RESULTING IN TWO SPEEDING TICKETS THIS PAST SUMMER. 3) I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO ONLY HEAR, IT WILL COST YOU AROUND $800.00 TO FIX. *JB

MY SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM WORKING NORMALLY TO NOW IT STICKS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AT A STAND STILL 70 TO 80 MPH OR NOT WORKING AT ALL OR OVER 100 MPH WHEN DRIVING PROBABLY 30 MPH AM NOT SURE HOW FAST I AM GOING. AFTER RESEARCHING TO SEE IF ANY OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I FOUND THAT MANY GM CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER. SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHILE OTHERS ARE PAYING 4-7 HUNDRED AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HOURS LATER AFTER PAYING TO HAVE IT FIXED. I CALLED A NEARBY GMC DEALER AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SPEEDOMETERS THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOT BUT THAT THEY WERE GETTING A LOT OF CALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCERN. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL OF THE SPEEDOMETER EQUIPMENT ON 2004 GM TRUCKS . *JB

MY SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM WORKING NORMALLY TO 0 MPH BEING 75 MPH NOW I AM NOT SURE HOW FAST I AM GOING. IT JUST STARTED THIS EVENING AFTER I PICKED UP MY SON. BEFORE THAT EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. AFTER RESEARCHING TO SEE IF ANY OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I FOUND THAT MANY GM CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER. SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHILE OTHERS ARE PAYING 4-7 HUNDRED AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HOURS LATER AFTER PAYING TO HAVE IT FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RECALL OF THE SPEEDOMETER EQUIPMENT ON 2004 GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE IS INOPERATIVE. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY AT ALL TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL SENDER ASSEMBLY, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN ALERTED. UPDATED 7/21/2006 - THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HAS EXHIBITED THE PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. MANY COMOPONENTS WERE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT NONE OF THEM WORKED TO PERMANENTLY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *NM

CLUNKING NOISE ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF 2004 GMC 1500 WITH 33000 MILES. WAS IN AT DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID THEY COULD ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX PROBLEM. WAS INTERMEDIATE STEERING SECTION AND GM HAD NOT FOUND FIX FOR IT. SAID THAT THE CLUNKING WOULD RETURN IN FEW MONTHS. THEY PUT NEW GREASE IN. WHAT AM I TO DO WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRES IN 3000 MILES AND IT RETURNS? IS THIS GOING TO CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND EVEN WORSE? *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE NEW TRANSMISSION HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY CONCERN IS ONE FOR TRYING TO PREVENT A FUTURE ACCIDENT. I OWN A GMC SIERRA 2500 PICKUP AND THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND IN GOING OUT AGAIN. THIS ALL WITHIN 40,000 MILES. I FEEL THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE PART. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF THE STEERING SHAFT FAILS, THE DRIVER WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2004 GMC SIERRA, THE SPEEDOMETER, KEEP ACTING UP AND THEN IT JUST QUIT. BEFORE THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY WENT OUT. SO I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT 1000.00 DOLLARS .I THINK THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURE. *NM

SPEEDOMETER AND GAUGE CLUSTER HAVE WORKED INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND HAVE NOW COMPLETELY FAILED. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL OTHER GM TRUCK OWNERS AND APPARENTLY THIS AN EXTREMELY COMMON OCCURRENCE. SOME OF THEM WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE GOTTEN IT COVERED. I SEE FROM THE COMPLAINT SEARCH THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE AS WELL. GM CHARGES AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS IT REQUIRES COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUSTER. IF A TOTAL FAILURE OF A CLUSTER INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER ISN'T A SAFETY HAZARD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. *NM
