| Speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge read incorrectly or not all . intermittent problem. the issue comes on gradually so there is a period of time with the speedometer you really dot not know how fast you are traveling. with some simple research on the internet it is obvious this is a common problem across gm line. *tr | |||

| Speedometer indicator settles at various places when stopped, and indicate inaccurate forward travel speed. as an example, the speedo will indicate 90mph when actually traveling 55mph. the settle point, and resulting indicator position at any speed is random. i have been reading several forums about the high rate of this type of failure in gmc vehicles, and feel that it is certainly a recall item. *tr | |||

| My speedometer began acting erratically, indicating 80 mph when sitting at a stop light, sticking while accelerating or decelerating. sometimes it indicates 20 mph when i am on the freeway. i researched this on the internet and discovered over 1,000 posts from chevrolet and gmc owners with the same problem. apparently there is an effort from owners to demand a recall. i didn't discover this until just after i was involved in an accident. i checked my speed as i approached an intersection and thought i was going a safe speed (i was under the posted limit). a car pulled in front of me and i collided with it. even though the accident was not my fault, the damage to the other car was more than i expected than would have been caused at my indicated speed. i didn't know my speedometer was going bad. *tr | |||

| In oct 06 my speedometer started sticking and 120+ even when sitting still. i checked with a local shop and was advised it would need to be recalibrated which involved taking the dash apart sending it off and being without a vehicle for 5-7 days. i couldn't do that at the time. several weeks later it just started working again and had worked fine until 12/22/06 and now it is doing it again all the time. i just think for what these vehicles cost these kind of problems should be taken care of. i fear everyday of getting a ticket, but at this time i cannot afford the repair or being without my vehicle for a week. *nm | |||
