| Speedometer is not working creating a very unsafe vehicle. through discussion with the dealer and talks with gm it was discovered that a service bulletin was issued for this problem. letters of notification have started being sent in september of 07. this web site shows complaints of this problem dating back to dec of 2005. all describe an unsafe situation. my problem is that i have 95,000 miles on my 2003. gmc will repair if less than 70,000 miles or 10 years. how can a safety problem created in my illegal truck stop being a liability to gm after 70,000 miles. why am i being penalized for driving more than 10,000 miles a year? *tr | |||

| 2003 chevy silverado 3500 truck--speedometer is stuck reading 10 mph to fast, sometimes. it varies, but currently my speedometer thinks 25mph is 0. thus when the speedometer says 55mph, i am actually(i think) driving 25mph. ths starting point changes on a daily basis. my problem is i actually have no idea what speed i am traveling. for me this is very dangerous because i tow trailers and carry a large truck camper. gm will not cover this under warranty on any of the gm cars/truck. in addition this is a very common issue with gm customers. gm will not admit it because the recall would be so large and costly, but this is a very dangerous problem. when traveling down the grapevine(highway5) and you not sure of your speed is extremely dangerous when hauling 10k pound in back of you. this could become an accident just like the one a few weeks ago. with this in mind gm will not do a recall on this important issue. it is time for nhtsa to step in and get to the bottom of this problem before a life is lost. below is links of other customers with the same problem--- 617 signatures--> http://www.petitiononline.com/chevy07/ cbs news story-->http://cbs5.com/investigates/local_story_087204739.html class action law suit-->levy, ram & olson llp *tr | |||

| I was in a parking lot and .pulled out on the street....turned right at the light next to the parking lot. drove 1/8 of a mile to a round-a-bout and noticed my speedometer was showing. the speed was less than what i actually going. it will do this 2 out of 10 times that i drive my 03' tahoe. i have to stop and turn off the car the start up again to sometimes get it to work. i'm afraid that i will get a speeding ticket due to the fact i have to drive by rpm's to guess my speed. i've been told the fix is around $700.00 but i have to save up for that amount. *ak | |||

| While driving on the freeway, my truck lost power which made me pull over quickly almost causing an accident..apparently i ran out of gas, while my fuel gauge was still showing a quarter of a tank...also other gauges on my cluster are not working like the speedometer. it is a 2003 chevy silverado and gm is charging over 600 dollars to repair, many owners are have the same problems. *nm | |||
