If anyone is curious, I purchased 05 Silverado new. Speedo went out with 130,000 miles. I knew it wouldn't get covered under warranty so I had it fixed through online company. I removed it myself, mailed it to company and they replaced all guages with non-defective parts. the same day they received it for $129.00 I paid $24.00 shipping and got it back in 4 days. I would not get new one from dealership for two reasons, 1. The price was $480.00 and 2. the one they sell you has same defective parts, so it too will go out. If anyone is interested who rebuilt mine just let me know. |

One thing for sure, I will never buy a GM product again and if you do---GOOD LUCK!!!!! Owned 3 4-runners and 3 camrys before this piece of crap and will be seen in the future at (Japanese) dealerships."> |

Folks, I feel your pain! I have an 04 Envoy that the speedometer started acting up on at around 70K. Some times it gets stuck at a "pegged" speed or something in between. I noticed that when you start the vehicle, all the gauges pulse toward the "zero" position, so i thought "what if I could turn the key on in succession - would it reset the speedometer?" Well, you can't do it with the vehicle in PARK , because it starts the vehicle, BUT, you can reset the speedometer in this way: 1) While in PARK, turn the key toward the "START" position, but stop short of starting the vehicle 2) With the key in this position, put the shift lever into "R" or REVERSE 3) Now RAPIDLY turn the key toward the START position and momentarily, hold it there and you'll see the speedometer will pulse about 5-10 MPH toward the "zero" speed position. Before the needle pulses back in a positive direction, repeat the key turning sequence in rapid succession and you can slowly reset the speedometer back to zero. It takes a little practice, but eventually, you can reset it in about a minute. I now have 148K on my Envoy and it's worked so far... |

My 2003 Z71 is crap. The oil pressure and fuel quantity indicator went around 55k, Dealer would not cover it and I was able to work around the issue. I change the oil every 3500miles and I had digital miles to use for the fuel issue. Now my wife is leaving for Chicago and the speedo is parked at 120+. My heated seats just quit! the sticker on the car is $48,657.00. This stuff just quits working. I do have 125k on the vehicle (soccer/baseball mom)but this is BS. I spoke with GM service and they tell me they are NOT aware of these issues! You got to be KIDDING! They I come across this forum, unbelievable the people having the same problems. Everyone should call and light up GM Costumer Service. I am calling my attorney general's office in NJ. I WILL never but a GM vehicle again!!!!! And think the taxpayers bailed out this unaccountable company. ITS ARROGANCE! |

Replying to: firemedic_buck (Oct 14, 2009 8:51 pm) Thank-you for posting your story. I have the same problem and I would like more info on how you handled your problem. If you have phone numbers and contacts, that would be great. To remove and reinstall the part, did you repair it yourself? Also how involved is the repair. Thanks for the info. |

| I have a question about my 2008 Suburban. Bought it used with 32000 miles on it. Anytime I gently presss the brake pedal I get a squeking noise, but as I press the pedal harder to actually stop the truck the squeak goes away. Called dealeship and they said it was just brake just and to go wash the discs off at a carwash. Didn't quite solve the problem. Thoughts. Anyone had this issue. Brakes work fine in terms fo slowing down truck and no wobbling in the steering wheel when brakes are applied. | |
