| At 78,000 miles speedometer pegged out at 120 mph. pulled cluster panel and pushed needle back down to 0. worked fine for about 3,000 miles. now it is a everyday repair. this is a big safety concern. i love how gm knows when these will fail at 70,000. gm or delphi should step up to the plate and fix this. | |||

| Details: 2005 gmc sierra pick up truck. the speedometer needle will not go back to 0 when i am stopped, which causes the speedometer to read wrong mph when driving. the problem is occurring more and more since it first began. it started for no apparent reason approximately 6 - 7 months ago. dealer was very aware of this problem, but i am past any warranties out there. approximate cost to me to fix from the dealer is $500. i cant afford this. however, based upon number of postings on the internet, it looks to me like a recall is in order. *tr | |||

| I own a 2005 gmc sierra 2500hd pickup. the speedometer on this vehicle is starting to go bad and when i am driving down the highway it will gradually loose indicated speed and then eventually go to zero. i am aware that there is currently a recall out for this type of problem, but i had my vehicle in the shop and for some reason my vin # does not fall into the recall list so i have not got it repaired at this time. the recall document that i found is #07187c: special coverage adjustment - instrument panel cluster gauge needle function -(mar 20, 09), my question is that does your agency update this list frequently or once it is out that is all that will be covered? *tr | |||

| Replaced every module in the heater system in my 05 gmc sierra several times, and so has just about everyone else i know who owns one. now my wiring harness burned without blowing any fuses. gm should have a recall on this, and find the problems, and fix them, before everyone who owns one goes broke repairing them. *tr | |||
