THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK IS NON FUNCTIONAL. AT TIMES IT PEGS OUT PAST THE 120 MPH MARK. AT OTHER TIMES IT PEGS BELOW THE 0 MPH MARK AND WILL NOT MOVE. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION (VIA INTERNET SEARCHES ON THE PROBLEM) THAT THIS IS A COMMON MALFUNCTION IN CHEVROLET TRUCKS, YET GM HAS ISSUED NO RECALL. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD BE REMEDIED BY GM. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500, 4-DOOR. I HAD MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK. WHEN WE GOT TO OUR DESTINATION, MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT OPEN HER DOOR (REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR). I CONFIRMED THE DOORS WERE UNLOCKED BY USING THE AUTOMATIC LOCK/UNLOCK FEATURE I HAVE ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE, BUT IT WOULD NOT WORK. I TRIED TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, BUT THE DOOR WOULD STILL NOT OPEN. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE ELECTRONIC LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH THE LATCHES WHICH PREVENTED THE DOOR FROM OPENING. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
