2003 GMC GMC Truck

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 GAUGE 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 FAILS 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. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE IN 2003 GMC SIERRA, I FEEL THAT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFTEY DEFECT AND BE COVERED BY THE GM CORP. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH THE CORP FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS TO COVER THIS IT WAS A DEFECTIVE STEPPER MOTOR IN ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS AND THE PART NUMBER WAS XC5-168 THE NEW PART NUMBER IS X25-168 WHY WAS THIS NEVER CONSIDERED A SAFTEY RECALL, IS THE SPEEDOMETER NOT CONSIDERED PART OF THE SAFETY RECALLS ON OUR ROADWAYS? THE FACT THAT I CAN DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT "ACCORDING TO MY SPEEDOMETER" AT 120 MPH AND CARS ARE PASSING ME, OR THE FACT THAT I MIGHT BE DOING ONLY 30MPH IN THE SAME SITUATION, IS THIS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF A SAFTEY RECALL? IT IS AND HAS BEEN KNOWN THAT THESE STEPPERS MOTORS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS HAS BEEN BAD, AND NOT THE FAULT OF ANY DRIVER BUT THE FAULT OF THE GM CORP., DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED BY SOMETHING LIKE THIS THINKING THAT THER ONLY DOING 30MPH BUT IN FACT ARE RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD AT 80MPH.... SURE THE MORE EXPERIENCED DRIVER MIGHT KNOW THE DIFFERENCEBUT WHAT ABOUT THE LESS EXPERIENCED, LIKE YOUR CHILD? I WOULD NEVER WANT THIS TO HAPPEN, AND YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THAT IT COULD, SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS... A SAFTEY RECALL, NOT JUST SOME SERVICE BULLETIN, THAT THE DEALER MAILS TO SOME OF THE OWNERS, IF IN FACT THEY HAVE THE NAME ON FILE, SOMEONE COULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS USED FOR THIER CHILD. UNDER SPEEDOMETERS ON EBAY THERE IS PROOF THAT THE CLUSTERS ARE BAD, GUYS ARE FIXING THEM WITH THE NEW STEPPER MOTORS, WHY IS THIS NOT GM'S RESPONSIBILITY? *TR
