| I bought a 2004 chevrolet ssr in feb.11, 2010 was a used vehicle no warranty. test drive was ok every thing worked as expected. i started noticing that i was going slower than most cars around me. i checked with a friend who drove beside me. it was determined that the speedometer was off 10 to 15 mph. i contacted chevrolet dealer about problem in march 2010. i needed to drop off my truck for a diagnostic testing. it would take 24 hours & or 5 to 7 days at $150 per hour to determine problem. the parts & repair labor to fix. i said that was outrageous. plus no technicians in area were trained on the ssr's electronics. i contacted gm for help. service request #71-982295330 the problem i was experiencing was not included in recall. no 2003 through 2006 ssr's were reported to be having any problems with the instrument cluster. the dealer found no problem & was not repaired. i have been putting up with the problem using tachometer as a guide to speed. the first time i start truck it seems to be just a few miles per hour off. but as i go through start cycles it gets to be more mph off. if vehicle sits over night. 12 or more hours. it seems to reset itself. i was out today 4/29/2012 for a drive. i was pulled over by a police officer on radar going 67 mph in a 55 mph zone. i checked my speed at the time & was going 55 mph. the officer let me off with a warning to park vehicle till it is repaired. now what do i do? chevrolet does not have a recall on this vehicle & many people that i know are ssr owners have had the same problems with instrument panel gauges. it is a known problem with ssr owners. but as i was told. most had it repaired at there own expense. now i have a truck with a inaccurate speedometer & no place to get repairs done by experienced mechanics. i need my speedometer fixed at gm chevrolet expense. | |||
