At 78,000 miles speedometer pegged out at 120 mph. Pulled cluster panel and pushed needle back down to 0. Worked fine for about 3,000 miles. Now it is a everyday repair.this is a big safety concern. I love how gm knows when these will fail at 70,000.gm or delphi should step up to the plate and fix this.
The contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500hd 6.0. The contact stated that he noticed that the speedometer, fuel gauge and heat odometer gave inaccurate readings. The vehicle was inspected at a local repair shop where the contact was informed that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. The vin was unavailable.
Instrument cluster failure, tachometer, and speedometer are inoperable, but all other gauges, such as fuel level, battery meter, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and transmission temperature gas are still functioning. Own another 2005 1500 with 32,632 which has just started doing the same.
Details: 2005 gmc sierra pick up truck. The speedometer needle will not go back to 0 when i am stopped, which causes the speedometer to read wrong mph when driving. The problem is occurring more and more since it first began. It started for no apparent reason approximately 6 - 7 months ago. Dealer was very aware of this problem, but i am past any warranties out there. Approximate cost to me to fix from the dealer is $500. I cant afford this. However, based upon number of postings on the internet, it looks to me like a recall is in order.

I own a 2005 gmc sierra 2500hd pickup.the speedometer on this vehicle is starting to go bad and when i am driving down the highway it will gradually loose indicated speed and then eventually go to zero.i am aware that there is currently a recall out for this type of problem, but i had my vehicle in the shop and for some reason my vin # does not fall into the recall list so i have not got it repaired at this time.the recall document that i found is #07187c: special coverage adjustment - instrument panel cluster gauge needle function -(mar 20, 09),my question is that does your agency update this list frequently or once it is out that is all that will be covered?
Replaced every module in the heater system in my 05 gmc sierra several times, and so has just about everyone else i know who owns one.now my wiring harness burned without blowing any fuses.gm should have a recall on this, and find the problems, and fix them, before everyone who owns one goes broke repairing them.
While pulling a 30 ft. Camper at approximately 50 mph the speedometer suddenly went past 120 mph and stayed . I now have no way of determining my speed . The local dealer said i would have to bring it in and leave it at least 3 days .
After returning from a day of shopping, i parked my truck at the back, like always. I had been noticing oil spots for the last few days but chalked it up to age and mileage of the truck. After about two hours i saw smoke from the back area where i parked. I ran outside to catch to my surprise! my truck was on fire, i as quickly as possible, grabbed the garden hose and put out the fire! i realized as i looked, that the fire had started at the area under the hood where the fuses, and wiring were located. As i slowly rebuilt my truck, i realized that the fire was not the only problem that i had! the fact of the matter was that if the fire had not shut my truck down, there were a whole array of other problems that i would of had to repair.
Problems turning ignition switch back and forth, and all other general motors truck this model both chevrolet and gmc have had same event. Fathers truck is 2007 chevrolet suburban has same problem.

2005 gmc 2500hd speedometer is inaccurate. Gm is unwilling to fix the problem at their expense. They are covering the 2003 and 2004 models only. That makes very little sense to me as they are older models. I have noticed on the internet, that this is a wide spread problem.
The contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500 hd. The contact stated her speedometer was incorrectly reading 16.2 mphand then the speedometer became completely inoperable. The contact stated that the speedometer was currently displaying a error message. Anauthorized dealer was notified of the failures. The estimated repair cost was $1,000. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 71,000
The contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500 hd. While approaching a stop sign at less than 15 mph, the speedometer read 40 miles over the actual mileage traveled. The manufacturer initiated a safety improvement campaign to correct the failure on the instrument panel but the mileage on his vehicle was outside of the manufacturer's requirements. No repairs were made to correct the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was under 70,000 and the current mileage was under 90,000. Updated 12/07/09 updated 12/09/09.
Speedometer reads wrong.will be doing 55 mph and the speedometer says 120 mph.at a stop it says i am doing 80 mph.gmc wants over $500 to fix this.i am not alone in my complaint there are hundreds, if not thousands of others.check out this website and see what others are saying:http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/chevrolet-tahoe/t2bgkbgi55eknu77c
The contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500 hd. The speedometer displayed the accurate speed driven. The manufacturer stated that the warranty for the speedometer is covered up to 75000 miles and the failure occurred at 86000 miles which was the current mileage. The contact is concerned about the safety risk involved.
Speedometer was intermittently sticking. (needle would jump up or down, not rotate smoothly with speed changes. This problem lasted approximately 2 weeks. Then started reading high or low by up to 50mph. This lasted approximately 4 days. Then needle rolled over past the 120 mark and stuck there.no repairs have been made yet.
The contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500 hd.on june 5, 2009, the speedometer displayed inaccurate readings.the speedometer read 120 mph when the vehicle was actually being driven 45 mph.there were no previous failures with the speedometer.the failure mileage was 60,000.
Speedometer is pegged at 120mph and stops at 30mph.
Sudden problems with speedometer. Speedometer starts at between 35 and 60 mph at a complete stop then goes up from there well past 120mph when traveling no faster then 60mph. Also does not move smoothly but rather very jumpy. This is a very well maintained truck with 54k miles on it.
The speedometer reads faulty speeds, as much as 20 mph over the actual speed.
Exhaust manifold bolts are breaking off for no apparent reason. I have four broken already and an exhaust leak developing. This appears to be a defect in manufacturing. I have a friend with two of the same trucks that the same thing has happened to. There are numerous complaints posted on the web. I have had many vehicles over the years and worked them hard but have never seen a broken exhaust manifold bolt on any of them. This can be a dangerous situation as having exhaust leaks under hood could cause a fire. As far as i know gm has not issued a bulletin or recall on this but there should be some remediation as this is an expensive repair and it is not a failure caused by the lack of maintenance. I have also heard reports of repaired units breaking again in about the same number of miles and having to be repaired again.
Always turns off while drivingor while at idle
2005 gmc 2500hd with 6.0 liter gas motor. Left and right bank exhaust manifold to engine bolts broken offin head. Leaking exhaust fumes and causing my check engine light to come on. Gm need to have a recallon this due to the number of vehicles out there with this problem. This is also an emission problem due to it will cause the cat converter to overheat.. Epa?thank you
Broken exhaust manifold bolts. Front and rear manifold bolts have broken on both the passenger and driver sides. As a result exhaust manifolds are now warping putting undue stress on remaining manifold bolts and creating an exhaust leak. Bolts are steel, manifolds are cast, and heads are aluminum. Dissimilar metals, heat, and moisture have caused the bolts to prematurely rust and fail. Emissions dilution will not allow for a passing smog test in 2013. Gmc refuses to address the issue at hand, even though this is a recurring issue on all v8 engines. Estimate to repair; $2500.
This model year has an engine defect from the manufacturer. The head gasket is known to break causing the engine to overheat. This can cause several safety issues dependent on the circumstance at the time of the engine overheating. After some research, it is openly known that this is a defect from the manufacturer for this particular engine year.
When climbing a significant grade , 6%,while towing 12.500# 5th wheel on a day with high ambient temperature , 95% engine temperature,immediately began to climb and reachedalmost overheat when i fortunately found a place to pull off the road. Incident took place on the grapevine in ca.if i hadn't been able to pull over i would have been stuckin traffic lane with 18 wheelers right behind me. 2 dealers were unable to help.
Major rust of the undercarriage of my 2005 gmc sierra 78,000 miles. So far had to replace brake rotors, brake lines , fuel radiator and lines. Frame and cross members as well as control arms are all rusted. Made complaint with gmc they had me bring to a dealer to tell me this is normal rusting. Two of my relatives have the same year truck but are not experiencing this issue andwe all live in the same area drive same roads.
The contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500 hd.the contact stated that when he drives his vehicle uphill with a trailer in tow, the vehicle slams into third gear, jerks, and overheats.the failure occurs at various speeds.the failure mileage was 35,000. Updated 5/13/08 the consumer stated several dealers were telling him different things as to what was wrong with the vehicle. The consumer believed there is a problem with the engine, transmission and transfer case. One dealer told the consumer the wrong transfer case was in the vehicle. A new serpentine belt was installed, the front differential was replaced, because the axle shaft was stuck, the axle seal was leaking and both high pressure lines of the hydroboost were leaking as well. The engine light illuminated. The charge air cooler was leaking residual oil from the lower right corner. Updated 05/13/08.

Ticking noise coming from engine compartment.
Exhaust leaking under hood due to broken exhaust manifold bolts. Carbon monoxide hazard. This seems to be a common problem for owners of several years of gm engines.
Exhaust manifold bolts broken off (4).6.0 l engine and exhaust is escaping and entering cabin.
The exhaust manifold bolts were broke onside of the exhaust manifold so far.the mechanic at fw tucker and son, in, oswego, ny 315-342-0444 stated that they have replaced these on 12 trucks and after further research, i have found that there have been over 12,000 vehicles that have to had these replaced.the truck is less than 5 years old and has 54,000 miles on it.i called and filed a complaint with gmc (service request #[xxx] ) and was told that they found that it wasn't a common problem and they found no indication that it was an ongoing problem, however 12,000 vehicles is an ongoing problem.the vehicle is a 2005 gmc sierra 2500hd truck.i had to pay to have the exhaust manifold removed, to have the bolts extracted, the cost of the new bolts and the installation of the bolts, new exhaust manifold gaskets and seals.i also had to pay to have the engine oil removed and the replacement of the engine oil dipstick tube.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
This is my 2nd gmc 6.0l that has broken exhaust bolts first truck broke 3 bolts at 32,000 miles, replaced by dealer and broke bolts off again at 39,000 miles. Now have 2005 with 51,000 mile with three broken manifold bolts and an exhaust leak. This is a very expensive repair that is a design problem.
There were no events leading up to the failure it just quick working correctly.the speedometer that is also problems with the front wheel bearing, as well as the daytime light on the front is always burning out.
Dt*: the contact stated, while traveling on a highway at 55mph., all power failed in the vehicle. Although there was not an accident, there was damage to the right fender, the compressor and the right rear tire of the vehicle while being towed. The contactincurred an injury to left knee. There was no police report filed. The vehicle was towed to a service dealerwhere the fuel sensor was replaced. The manufacturer recommended locations for the trailer and compressor to be repaired.
Prior to the beginning of this problem, the vehicle was operating normally. When the vehicle was refueled to full, a strong smell of gasoline would surround the vehicle and fuel would begin to drip from under the vehicle in the area of the fuel tank. When tank was filled only partially (below 75%) only the strong smell of gasoline would occur after refueling. The vehicle was taken to a gm dealership and an inspection was performed and a crack was found in the fuel tank where the filler neck attaches to the body of the fuel tank. The fuel tank was replaced and the problem has been corrected.

Slight clunking started when shifting into drive. Fluid on garage floor. Off toaamco. Found two holes in transfercase. The "4 star buffering ring" on shaft inside pounded two holes in casing. Just step on gas and torque pounds the ring into the casing until holes are made. All fluid pours out. Most people wont even know its happened until castastrophic failure. Several seals, chain, two gears, 3 bottles of fluid,"4 star buffer ring" and a new casing half was required.$2654.00 to repair for a 12 month warranty. Aamco pointed out i did nothing wrong. Its an engineered failure point by gm.add this to ; #1-speedo gear failure-20mph and gage reads 90 mph, #2-cd/radio burnt up, #3-water pump failure 16k miles, #4-cab of truck not attached to frame correctly "cab wobbling", #5-roof temp control unit failure, #6-passenger window motor stops working below 25 degrees, #7-factory installed battery was the wrong one when bought new in ogden, utah. Now,.... Airbags???
The contact owns a 2003 gmc sierra 2500 hd.the contact stated that the power steering would seize and the vehicle would hesitate to stop when the brakes were depressed. In addition, the transmission, windshield wipers, cruise control, and the instrument cluster failed.the vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the transmission, but the failure recurred.the manufacturer was notified of the failures, but denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle.the vehicle was not further repaired.the failure mileage was 29 and the current mileage was 100,000.
Noticed a noise in the front suspension/drive train.an alignment shop checked the front end and they found that the front sealed wheel bearings were about to have a catastrophic failure. Vehicle has 65,000 miles and has never been subjected to harsh environments.was told that the vehicle could not be driven safely.sealed bearings have no maintenance options and can create an accident.learned of other gmc front wheel bearing issues while meeting with the shop to arrange for repairs.
The contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500 hd. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the gear shift indicator on the instrument panel failed to illuminate and display what gear the vehicle was positioned in. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but the vin was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
Gm states that dexron-vi is fully backwards compatible with all dexron-iii applications. My vehicle is a 2005 gmc sierra k2500hd, with an 8.1l gasoline engine and allison 1000 transmission. After performing a routine service on my transmission (fluid drain and refill), replacing the dexron-iii with dexron-vi, i noticed the seals and gaskets leaking from around the transmission. Upon further research, i found that the synthetic dexron-vi is not compatible with certain seals installed in allison brand transmissions. Allison transmission does not approve the use of dexron-vi in its transmissions due to the seal incompatibility (allison service tip #1099p). Another allison document (sa5429en) lists two serial number cutoffs, prior to which contain seals incompatible with dexron-vi. The situation has yet to be resolved - gm denies any possible incompatibility, and will not warrant any damages, while allison representatives have told me that the problem is a direct result of dexron-vi. The estimated cost to replace all of the seals in the transmission is $1,900.00.

The brakes went to the floor and vehicle did not stop, barely avoided a crash.found pool of brake fluid under truck.firestone auto charged $675 to replace a rusted out brake line.all other lines are heavily corroded and ready to fail as well.
Brake line under drivers side broke leaving vehicle without any regular stopping capability and requiring tow. Estimated replacement of all lines recommended by gmc dealer due to failures being common, $1,480 plus tax.
Driving through an intersection at 40 when a another vehiclemade a left turn in front of me . I applied my brakes and pedal went to the floor . I swerved and avoided the on comingvehicle . The rear hard steel brake line above the fuel tank burstdue to corrosion . No warning no fluid or brake light just a catastrophe failure of line. Upon inspection line is not corroded on the framerail before the fuel tank just behind the tank.
Depressed brake pedal to stop truck and pedal went straight to the floor. Front brake lines had ruptured due to corrosion. This truck is my main tow vehicle and i had a small trailer on when this occurred. My truck has not seen much winter use since new and i am the owner since new.
Break line rusted and broke almost resulting in an accident when trying to stop brake petal went to floor
Brakes failed to stop vehicle at intersection/stoplight.brake pedal went to floor and stayed there.determined that rust through in brake line at driver side of frame, under driver seat, had allowed fluid loss.

The contact also noticed that they would gradually need more braking distance before coming to a complete stop. The current and failure mileages were 39391.
Brake pedal 'sinks' a bit toward floor, on slow stops, just before car comes to a stop.occurs on almost every stop, brakes inspected and discs and pads are okay.
The contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500hd. The contact stated tht the vehicle lunged ten feet when he depressed the brake pedal upon coming to a stop sign. Extra effort was required to stop which increased the stopping distance. The abs fuse was removed based on advice by a mechanic. After removal of the fuse, the problem stopped; when the fuse was reinstalled, the problem returned. The vehicle was tkane to an authorized dealership who informed him that the brakes were functioning normally. The vin was unavailable at the time of the complaint.
The contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 2500 hd diesel. The contact stated that on april 19, 2010 when pulling out of the garage at 2 mph, the brakes and steering suddenly stopped function. There were no warning lights illuminated that indicated the cause of the failure. When the contact turned off the vehicle and restarted it, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. The contact depressed the emergency brake pedal and the vehicle stopped; it was towed to an authorized dealership where it was being repaired at the time of the complaint. The contact was informed that his vehicle was not included in any related recalls.the current and failure mileages were approximately 38,000.updated 11/11/10 the consumer stated he experienced a hydro boost failure. As he was pulling out of the garage, the steering and braking mechanisms malfunctioned.updated 11/18/10
The contact owns a 2005 gmc sierra 3500hd. The contact stated while at a complete stop with the brake pedal engaged, the vehicle began to lunge forward; followed by the illumination of the abs warning light and a chime sounding inside the vehicle intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated both front brake hubs and sensors would need to be replaced; however the parts were not included in the extended service warranty. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was made aware of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.updated 9/13/11 the consumer stated the abs light chimed.udpated 01/03/12
2005 gmc sierra k2500 pickup truck.problem -brakes fade when coming to a complete stop.brakes work fine until vehicle slows to 5-10mph at which time brake pedal loses pressure - unexpectedly increases stopping distance by 10-15 feet creating hazardous condition.attempted resolution - replaced all four brake rotors and pads at own expense.problem still exists.went to dealerand discovered that this is apparently a common problem related to the anti-lock brake sensors located in each wheel assembly.they claim this braking system failure is due to normal wear and tear and not a manufacturers defect or faulty design...my problem is this - if the dealer (and, by extension, the manufacturer) knows that the brake system is going to start failing after a few years of operation, then how is this due to normal wear and tear and not a design defect???this is clearly an example of a manufacturer putting out a product that they know will fail in time and, thus, create a hazardous safety condition.
The hydraulic brake booster's pressure accumulator cracked and /or separated from the hydro-boost assembly during normal vehicle operating conditions.the presence of this crack or fractured surface allowed the hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster assembly.the loss of fluid caused increased steering and braking effort.
For almost a year now the brakes "drop out" or essentially quit slowing the truck below 10 mph. Extra effort is required to stop. This has caused numerous near miss rear end collisions. When towing an 8000 pound trailer this is a significant safety hazard. I removed the abs brake fuse on the advice of a tech and the problem stopped immediately. With the fuse reinstalled the problem returns.

Truck has been in dealer numerous times for severe noise of power steering pump, loss of brake boost and steering assist at low speeds.pump was replaced and noised disappeared for just over 2 weeks and started again.dealer explained that gm is aware of problem, but is only taking calls about the problem from one area code while they try to isolate.dealer then replaced the steering gear with no correction of problem.at a standstill, turning the steering wheel about 3/4 turn results in complete loss of steering assist and sometimes brake boost, plus excessive pump noise.dealer is now trying to tell me this is normal.there is a technical bulletin on this problem. Gm has instructed dealers not to replace the power steering pump. As they have received too many pumps under warranty that appear to have no problem.driving the vehicle at 1200 rpm and steering right or left will generate a groaning noise that drowns conversation in the cab and at times results in reduced or failed brake boost.the same loud groaning noise occurs when slowing the vehicle from highway speeds without any turning of the steering wheel, as the engine rpm falls through the 1200 rpm range.sounds like a hydraulic system with air in the system, low fluid or being push to over-capacity.gm is not being responsive to the excessive number of customer complaints.i know others with the same problem on several years of 2500hd duramax trucks.it is not at all difficult to find others with this exact same complaint.the noise appears to be an under capacity hydraulic system for power steering and brake boost. Gm is either ignoring the problem or hoping the problem trucks will expire warranty.more owners need to complain and force a recall to repair this defect in design.contrary to my dealer's assertion, this is not normal.i have been driving long enough to know "normal" and a "problem dodge" when i see it.

The hydraulic brake booster's pressure accumulator cracked and /or separated from the hydro-boost assembly during normal vehicle operating conditions.the presence of this crack or fractured surface allowed the hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster assembly.the loss of fluid caused increased steering and braking effort.

After returning from a day of shopping, i parked my truck at the back, like always. I had been noticing oil spots for the last few days but chalked it up to age and mileage of the truck. After about two hours i saw smoke from the back area where i parked. I ran outside to catch to my surprise! my truck was on fire, i as quickly as possible, grabbed the garden hose and put out the fire! i realized as i looked, that the fire had started at the area under the hood where the fuses, and wiring were located. As i slowly rebuilt my truck, i realized that the fire was not the only problem that i had! the fact of the matter was that if the fire had not shut my truck down, there were a whole array of other problems that i would of had to repair.

Driving on interstate 85 tire blew due to highway road and faulty wheel hub, steering capability , suspension on the truck. It spilt the bumper and shattered mirror and hit my arm. I almost lost total control of the truck it did a lot of damage. The front ends on these trucks have been nothing but a headache to a lot of people. They don't last due to cheap parts i assume. Thanks for your time.

My 2005 gmc 2500 hd, has 154,000 miles now and i have had to change out the front hub bearings 3 times. I do not know why theykeep going bad. My dealership tells me it is because i have a lift and oversized tires on truck, but all my trucks have had lifts and over sized tires and i have never had any problems like this before.
Noticed a noise in the front suspension/drive train.an alignment shop checked the front end and they found that the front sealed wheel bearings were about to have a catastrophic failure. Vehicle has 65,000 miles and has never been subjected to harsh environments.was told that the vehicle could not be driven safely.sealed bearings have no maintenance options and can create an accident.learned of other gmc front wheel bearing issues while meeting with the shop to arrange for repairs.
