Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 AVALANCHE STICKS AT RANDOM POINTS AND THEN INDICATES AN INCORRECT SPEED WHICH IS VERY UNSAFE. FOR EXAMPLE IT WILL STICK AT 45 MPH AND THEN INCREASE FROM THERE AS THE VEHICLE SPED IS INCREASED. OR IT MAY SLIP TO SOME OTHER INDICATED SPEED FROM ONE MOMENT TO THE NEXT. VERY UNSAFE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND THIS PROBLEM IS BEING TALKED ABOUT BY MANY, MANY CONSUMERS. I BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REQUIRE GM (CHEVROLET) TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR
