2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

I OWN A 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO.IT HAD ONLY 59,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE DEFECT. THE DEFECT IS THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE TRUCK. I WAS RETURNING FROM AN OUT OF STATE TRIP WHEN I NOTICED I WAS PASSING EVERYONE ON THE INTERSTATE. MY WIFE TOLD ME TO SLOW DOWN BUT I TOLD HER I WAS DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. AT LEAST I THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER I LOOKED DOWN AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT SAID I WAS GOING 30 MILES PER HOUR AND I MUST HAVE BEEN DOING 65-75. I SLOW DOWN TO WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SAFE SPEED BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO GET A TICKET OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. LATER WE STOPPED FOR GAS AND WHEN I RETURNED ON THE HIGHWAY I HAD NO READING AT ALL. I HAD 800 MORE MILE TO GO AND COULD NOT TELL HOW FAST I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. AS WE MADE OUR WAY BACK HOME OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS THE SPEEDOMETER READ ANYWHERE FROM 70,40,25 OR NOTHING WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE.I CONTACTED THE CHEVY DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY WAS NOTHING CAN COULD DO SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRE. I LOOKED FOR A RECALL BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING.WHAT I DID FIND WAS OVER 40 COMPLAINTS ON THE WEBSITE CALLED AUTO BEEF WHERE OWNERS OF 2004 SILVERADO WAS HAVING THE SAME UNFIXED ISSUE. UPDATED 01/25/10 *BF AS OF TODAY I HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM DUE TO FINANCIAL PROBLEMS DUE TO THE HOLIDAY AND LACK OF FUND THEREAFTER{LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!}I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL THAT CHEVORLET SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY WITH THIS SERIOUS ISSUE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE ON THEIR VEHICLES.THEY ARE PROBABLY MORE OUT THERE THAT JUST PAID TO HAVE THEIRS FIXED AFTER BEING TOLD BY THE DEALERS THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP THEM WITH THIS DEFAULT. PLEASE LOOK INTO FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR DRIVERS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS CONCERN. *TR UPDATED 01/25/10 *BF UPDATED 01/26/10.*JB

WITHOUT WARNING OF ANY SORT MY 2004 Z71'S SPEEDOMETER HAS QUIT WORKING. IT STAYS BELOW THE 0 MPH MARK AND IF IT DECIDES TO COME ALIVE WHILE I'M DRIVING IT IS COMPLETELY OFF. I CAN BE DRIVING 20 AND IT WILL SAY I'M GOING 50 MPH. THIS IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE....I HAVE 3 LITTLE GIRLS AND THIS IS OUR MAIN SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. WHY WON'T GM RECALL THIS? I'M ALSO HEARING THE CLUNKING SOUND THAT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A WOBBLING SENSATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP HAVING THESE ISSUES SERVICED JUST FOR THEM TO STOP WORKING AGAIN. RECALL OR LEMON LAW. *TR
