Consumer Description

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STARTED GOING HAYWIRE. SOME DAYS IT WORKS AND SOME IT DON'T. WHEN IT ISN'T WORKING IT WILL SAY I AM DOING 30 WHEN I AM REALLY DOING 70 OR I CAN COME TO A STOP AND IT SAYS I AM DOING 20 MPH. THIS IS A GENUINE SAFETY HAZARD AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DONE ASAP. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ALL HAVE SEEMED TO START OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS WHICH IS RIGHT AFTER THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY FOR MOST OF US. MY TRUCK HAS 80K MILES ON IT AND I AM NOT ABOUT TO PAY $500 FOR A SAFETY HAZARD THAT GM SHOULD PAY FOR. *NM
