2004 GMC Sierra 1500 Vehicle speed control Problems

“Instrument cluster works intermittently. Speedometer, fuel gauge etc, do not work at random times. (while operating the vehicle, or not) the lights on the instrument cluster also dim, flicker, and sometimes go out completely. This particular vehicle has very low mileage, (used as a recreational vehicle, not primary transportation) it was purchased new and has been well maintained.”

“The speedometer has stopped working correctly, after doing a little bit of research this is a very common problem with many cheverolet full size vehicles. This was very obviously a manufacturing defect. For example when sitting at a stop sign the speedometer was reading 35-40 MPH, and was either stuck or read completly incorrect.”

“Own a 2004 Gmc sierra bought brand new had numerous problems steering gear box went out completely dealer r/r part as a recall / steering problem knocking in wheel took to dealer four times installed grease pack in intermediate shaft last a couple of months problem recurs dealer states recall on shaft but wont r/r part hav problem with d/s door speaker blown twice dealer r/r part n/c d/s seatbelt squeaks r/r part dealer n/c now I have a another serious problem with the engine goes into rest mode while driving at 50 MPH u drive up a hill and will only go two to five MPH this is very dangerous…”

“Inconsistent idle, check engine light, reduced engine power, idle sticks. Dealer ran diagnostic said was accelerator pedal pressure sensor. I purchased replacement part & had replaced. The problem continued & I had dealer run another diagnostic resulting in the same issue. Old part or no longer available.”

“The contact stated while driving 75 MPH on the interstate, the speedometer gauge began to decrease and increase without warning producing erroneous readings contrary to the actual miles per hour being driven. Although the problem persisted, the dealer and manufacturer were not alerted. Updated 11/0/906.”
