| I have a 2003 gmc sierra 4wd truck and the speedometer cluster is bad. i see that thousands of other people have the same problem. the speedometer register erratically and sometimes stays on 0 mph while driving down the highway. i here the fuel guage is next to go bad. these two problems together on a busy highway can and will cause accidents where someone will get hurt or killed. gm has agreed to recall these vehicles with under 70,000 miles and 5 yrs. old. this does nothing to this safety problem but lower the odds a little bit. what about the safety of the balance of owners of the remaining vehicles and every person on us highways? doesn't anyone care? please look into this safety problem for it happens all of the sudden. this failure happens and then it works fine off and on or it just totally failes all at once. you have no idea how fast you are driving which affects public safety and running out of fuel on a snow covered or dry freeway or rte. and not being able to steer the truck can definitely cause accidents. people have no clue when or where these problems will occur. i hope that you are also concerned about the vehicles with this problem on the roads with more than 70,000 miles and older than 5years. i am a certified automotive mechanic and have been for 30 years. what scares me is the older the vehicle the more chance of hydraulic brake lines failing from rust and not knowing if they are driving too fast for conditions with a brake line failure is going to happen if not already. please protect everyone and yourself from general motors corporation's shotty recall. | |||

| Purchased 2003 gmc sierra denali with the 6.0l engine. the accelerator pedal can be depressed part way without any change to the engine rpms, causing the driver to press the pedal even further. this could be dangerous: a) delayed vehicle response when depressing gas pedal, b) driver depressing the pedal too far causing the vehicle to lurch forward. took the vehicle to the dealer, response was that this is within specs. not all 2003 sierra denali's are like this, some have immediate response when depressing the pedal. *nlm | |||
