NHTSA Complaint #10403876 — 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500

ODI #10403836, 2005 GMC 1500 SIERRA, VIN#, COMPLETE FAILURE OF DASH INSTRUMENTS, STARTED WITH THE OIL GAUGE, THEN THE RPM INDICATOR, NOW THE SPEEDOMETER, RUNS UP TO 120 MPH SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK ONLY GOING AT UNKNOWN, UNSAFE SPEED WHICH I CAN ONLY ASSUME TO BE THE LEGAL LIMIT OF 70 MPH, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A MONETARY LOSS FOR ACCIDENTS AND OR SPEEDING TICKETS. IN ADDITION THE INSTRUMENT LIGHT FOR THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK AND YOU CAN NOT TELL WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN ANOTHER POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ON TOP OF THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON REPEATEDLY CAUSING MINOR REPAIR COSTS EACH TIME IT OCCURS. THERE HAS TO BE CUSTOMER RECOURSE, WHEN THIS ORIGINALLY STARTED THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT NOT TO WORRY AS SOON A RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED AS IT HAD FOR THE PRIOR YEARS, AS YET NO OFFICIAL RECALL OTHER THAN THE TRANSMISSION PANEL LIGHT FAILURE WHICH CURRENTLY COVERS 7,194 VEHICLES BUT GMC STATES THAT MINE IS NOT COVERED? ONE WONDERS WHY WHEN THEY SAY QUALITY IT IS A JAPANESE AUTO! IF INDEED ALL OF THE CONSUMERS WITH A COMPLAINT FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WOULD GATHER UNDER A LEGAL ACTION, I AM SURE THAT GMC WOULD HAVE TO COMPLY AND REPAIR AND SOME POINT IN TIME. I HAVE OWNED GMC AUTOS AND TRUCKS ALL OF MY LIFE, I CURRENTLY HAVE A 77 CHEV. PICK UP THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL STILL WORKS, I HAVE A 1995 GMC SIERRA THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STILL WORKS, I HAVE LEFT INSTRUCTIONS WITH MY FAMILY THAT IF I AM IN A WRECK DUE TO EXCESSIVE SPEED AND OR MISTAKENLY PLACE THE VEHICLE IN THE WRONG GEAR AND BACK OVER A CLIFF THAT THEY ARE TO SUE GMC. MY NEXT ACTION IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. *TR
