Consumer Description

MY 2005 BUICK RAINIER HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER WENT ON THE BLITZ. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT 60 MPH AND WOULD CONTINUE TO RISE UNTIL IT WAS PEGGED PAST 120 MPH WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS. NOW MY SPEEDOMETER MAY STOP WORKING COMPLETELY WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. MY MOTHER HAS A 2004 RAINIER AND SHE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MULTIPLE GAUGES INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER. AC DELCO IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM TO BE A DEFECTIVE STEPPER MOTOR IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER BUT GM HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLES AND IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR THAT I BELIEVE THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS TROUBLE IN MORE DETAIL AS I'VE SEARCHED YOUR SITE AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME SYMPTOMS IN NOT ONLY BUICK BUT THE CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER AS WELL. THANKS. *TR
