I have a 2004 gmc sierra 1500. I am having several problems with the instrument panel, speedometer not reading properly, temp gauge wrong readings.

I have a 2004 gmc sierra and while driving home from work the other day, my speedometer jumped all the way up to 105mph. When i came to a stop light the odometer read 50mph, even though i wasn't moving. This is a huge safety concern for me. I had been noticing strange gage reading on my cluster panel for approximately the last 5,000 miles (started at 72k). My truck now has 78,000 miles on it and the dealership said…

Speedometer stopped working, stuck at 55mph. Apparently a well-known, well-documented factory defect. No recall apparently has been issued. At some point traffic deaths will be attributable to this defect. *tr

I have had two occurrences where the speedometer sticks and/or registers speeds different from what is being driven. In the latest instance, while driving 65 mph on an interstate it started fluctuating to where it was registering 120 mph. When i stopped at a truck stop and shut the engine off it was still registering 40 mph. The first time this happened, i was driving in heavy rain. I thought possibly the rain may…

While driving the speedometer stuck at 60 mph and would not return to zero. When the truck was restarted and driven the speedometer went around past the 120 mph on the gauge. I did get the speedometer back to zero by starting and then turning the ignition off quickly. I continued to do these because the speedometer would fall aprox 5 mph every time that i did this. It took about 12 times to get it down to zero. This…

Speedometer stops working at times, gets stuck around 70mph while driving sometimes at other speeds. When the truck is turned off it does not go to zero instead it goes to 20-40mph and then i guess it thinks that's where zero starts. Truck only had 42,000 miles when these problems started and it seems to be getting worse. The truck is a 2004 gmc sierra z71 almost new. Sometimes i don't know how fast i'm going when…
