2003 GMC Sierra Vehicle speed control Problems

“Driving my 2003 Gmc Sierra and the speedometer went out , it was going 100 miles per hour when I was going around 50 - 55 ? Hard to tell it never right any more and I only have 58,000 on the odometer . This a safety problem and Gmc should recall these clusters before people start getting hert because the speed is way of , and the dealers want use to pay around 1200.00 to fix. This is a Gmc fix not.”

“After sitting in stop-and-go traffic I noticed that the speedometer was reading at 100 MPH and I was at a stop light. At the time, I had less than 50,000 miles on my truck. Since then the speedometer was almost always incorrect. It has occasionally fixed itself, but usually did not last more than a day or two. The needle was often buried past 120 MPH. A number of my friends and relatives with similar vehicles had the same problem. Currently I have not paid to have the problem fixed, but hope that it will be recalled at some point soon.”

“When traveling at a slow speed, less than 10 miles per hour, if brake is applied the pedal rumbles and the truck continues to move unless I pump the brakes. This is happening during clear days no rain, snow or loose gravel. This incident is very similar to the one described in campaign number: 05v379000.”

“While driving, coming to a complete sudden stop, and upon depressing the brakes pedal, they went completely to the floor, and the vehicle would not stop. The consumer then placed both feet on the brakes trying to stop the vehicle, the vehicle accelerated, resulting in an accident. The consumer rear ended another vehicle. The consumer requested to be reimbursed for the expenses.”

“When driving the vehicle with the cruise control on the vehicle surged forward then decelerated back to its original speed after 3 to 4 seconds. The consumer had made contact with the dealership. When the vehicle was empty, then it would work as it should. If a trailer was hooked with 400 lbs, the cruise control would go from 1500 RPM to 45 or 4600 RPM's for about 3 to 4 seconds, then drop down to 2600 RPM or 3500 RPM's depending on the hill the driver was going up and would stay that RPM until the driver was at the top. Three dealers suggested that they couldn't remedy the problem.”
