Consumer Description

SPEEDOMETER STOP FUNCTIONING AND DOESN'T ACCURATELY REFLECT THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 120+ MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE ENTIRE ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT PANEL MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $500. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FORUMS IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. SEE THIS WEBSITE HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-SILVERADO-1500/TR5QAB2MN19BL1D2J. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. *NM
