Dealer discovered this same issue on my son's car during PDI even after all the QC holds.

They had to order and install a complete Instrument Cluster (IC).

Good luck

Anyone know if the whole dash has to be removed or just the grey trim around the gauges to reveal the screws holding the gauges in.

Been driving my 05 Suburban with bad speedo in the instrument cluster since 37,000 miles. Went out just after the warranty. Go figure. GM wants $700 to replace the entire instrument cluster. I just don't run too far ahead of the traffic flow. Haven't gotten a ticket in some 60,000 miles.

Point is - if your Camaro needs the speedo fixed, don't wait. A new cluster after warranty is going to cost you a bundle.

When GM replaces the instrument cluster, in order to apply all the settings from the other cluster they will need to transfer that data. Does this go through the ECM or can they simply configure the cluster alone?

Don't have my Camaro yet but my Suburban does that sometimes. It will stop working, or reduce by 55 or increase by 40. It always goes back to normal though.

It did this again last night. Anyone know what is going on? Is it the computer or the servo motor could be going out? Here's a Pic

WE HAD THIS HAPPEN ABOUT THREE WEEKS IN. GOT IT TESTED THEY SAID IT THE GAGE CLUSTER. EASY FIX DEALER NEEDS TO ORDER CLUSTER GAGES, WHEN THEY COME IN THEY WILL CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE DASH APART AND PUT IT ON A COMPUTER TO RECALIBRATE THIS TAKES ABOUT FIVE HOURS BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A NEW CAR. JUST HAD THIS PROCEDURE DONE ON TUESDAY THE 28TH OF THIS MONTH. NO BIG DEAL THE CAR STILL RAN PERFECT

i had the same problem, mine was stuck on 0. They replaced the cluster and it only took about an hour. Turns out that they put the needles on too tight, and in hot weather they swell and causes the needle to stop moving. (thats what they told me at least.)

rharon · 08-19-2009, 10:48 AM

so what happened? Did they replcae the whole cluster. can you get the bullentin #?

fieldgoal00 · 08-19-2009, 11:00 AM

the bulletin number is 2291505

Did they have to remove the entire dash to get to the gauge cluster? Have you noticed any rattling or noises since they switched it out?

I just had this same problem a couple weeks ago, when it was like 100F almost everyday. The analog Speedo didn't sweep and stayed at zero. It seems the needle was too close to the display and the hot temps helped to make it stick. The new gauge came in and got it replaced. Working great so far.
