2004 GMC Sierra 1500 Driver assistance Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the driver-assistance system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE ETC, DO NOT WORK AT RANDOM TIMES. (WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, OR NOT) THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALSO DIM, FLICKER, AND SOMETIMES GO OUT COMPLETELY. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE, (USED AS A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE, NOT PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION) IT WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED.

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY, AFTER DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY CHEVEROLET FULL SIZE VEHICLES. THIS WAS VERY OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN SITTING AT A STOP SIGN THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 35-40 MPH, AND WAS EITHER STUCK OR READ COMPLETLY INCORRECT.*AK
