Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING 3 MONTHS AGO, MILEAGE APPROX. 60,000 MILES. WE CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL. NOW I GET ON LINE AND READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE WAY THE ECONOMY IS WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY OURSELVES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, SO NOW WE DRIVE IT AND HOPE WE ARE GOING SPEED LIMIT OR UNDER. I THINK THAT GM SHOULD REPAIR THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT KIND OF COMPANY WILL ASK US TO HELP THEM WITH BAILOUTS BUT WON'T FIX THE PROBLEMS THEIR VEHICLES HAVE? *TR
