ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL
I HAVE A 2004 GMC SIERRA AND WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE OTHER DAY, MY SPEEDOMETER JUMPED ALL THE WAY UP TO 105MPH. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT THE ODOMETER READ 50MPH, EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T MOVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. I HAD BEEN NOTICING STRANGE GAGE READING ON MY CLUSTER PANEL FOR APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 5,000 MILES (STARTED AT 72K). MY TRUCK NOW HAS 78,000 MILES ON IT AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD COVER THE PARTS FOR A REPLACEMENT INSTRUMENT PANEL BUT, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND THE LABOR. SINCE THIS IS A KNOW SAFETY ISSUE, GM SHOULDN'T BE LEFT TO FIGURE OUT IF THEY CAN SIDE STEP A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND PUT PEOPLEŃ—S LIVES AT RISK. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIGHT FOR REPAIRS AND FURTHER PUT THEIR FAMILIES IN UNSAFE VEHICLES WHILE THESE KINDS OF ISSUES GET SORTED OUT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2001 GMC 1500 SIERRA 4X4 CURRENTLY HAS 68K MILES. VEHICLE SPEED SENSORS CAUSING ABS BRAKE ACTIVATION AT SPEEDS BELOW 12MPH. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ORIGINALLY ON 2/28/2005 FOR THIS CONDITION. VEHICLE IS HAVING A REOCCURANCE OF THIS CURRENTLY NOTICED ON OR AROUND 10/2009. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT SENORS ARE IN NEED OF COMPLETE REPLACEMENT, HOWEVER GENERAL MOTORS HAS STATED THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE SENSORTS AND A RECALL HAS NEVER EXISTED FOR SAID VEHICLE (REF NHTSA RECALL# 05V379000). GENERAL MOTORS CONTACT THAT STATED THIS RECALLL DID NOT EXIST. CURRENTLY, THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED, AND OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THIS CONDITION OCCURS 95% OF THE TIME WHEN BRAKING BELOW 12MPH, AND MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT INTERSECTIONS, TRAFFIC, ETC. LOOKING FOR GM TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES OCCUR. ALSO PARKING BRAKE HAS NEVER SUFFICIENTLY HELD VEHICLE AS IT GETS DEPRESSED TO FLOOR AND VEHICLE STILL CAN ROLL, PROMOTING A HAZARD TO OTHERS IN THE VICINITY IF THE TRANSMISSION LOCK GIVES OUT. *TR
