| Speedometer just quit working, jumps from 10 to 70+. shows a minimum of 10 mph parked. not exactly safe to not have a clue how fast your going. i searched on the net suspecting an isolated problem, but found this has affected 8 to 10 models for 4 plus years, are you kidding me. just one of thousands with the same dangerous problem!!!!! *tr | |||

| I purchased the truck used with 83,000 miles in august of 2007. about a month later the water temp gauge moved all the way around and then went back to zero and stopped working. then the speedometer was stuck for a few days and started working again. but for how long? and now i've heard gm issued an extended warranty just for the gauges and must have under 70,000 miles instead of a recall. *tr | |||

| Instrument cluster on 2003 chev silverado 1500hd is not working properly. instruments read wrong or do not work at all. brought truck to dealer and was told it would cost over $700.00 to fix and could not afford it. received notice from gm last week saying they would cover up to 70,000 miles, my truck has more than that now, but problem started at 50,000 miles. gm should issue a full recall and take care of this hazard. *tr | |||

| Speedometer fails to function - will be traveling down the road and it ranges from 0-120 mph when i estimate i am actually traveling 35 mph(estimated obviously). has happened on 3 occasions and in now non-functioning. dealership recommends replacing instrument cluster - and admits to a rash of these replacements on these trucks. *nm | |||

| I have a 2003 chevy silverado 1500 hd with approx 55,000 miles on it. without notice the speedometer failed to work (needle is fixed between 60-120 mph). after researching this problem on the internet, i discovered that many complaints have been levied (in at least an informal setting). *nm | |||

| I have a 2003 chevrolet p/u and the speedometer works very erratically. it usually registers a much faster speed than i an traveling. when i am stopped it will show a speed of forty or fifty mph. this problem seems to come and go. it is very unsafe to not know your speed. i know many other gm and chevrolet vehicles of this year experience the same problem. *nm | |||
