Consumer Description

I HAVE 79,000 MILES ON MY 03 AVALANCHE AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED FAILING AT AROUND 78,000 MILES. RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THERE WAS A FIX FOR THIS DEFECT UP TO 70,000 MILES OR 7 YEARS. WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF! WHY!! THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE A MILEAGE OR YEAR STIPULATION ON IT!! IF YOU READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS, THIS HAPPENS OVER THE 70,000 OR 7 YEARS STIPULATION WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS!!! I'VE OWNED MANY TRUCKS AND NEVER HAD A SPEEDO OR CLUSTER PROBLEM!! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED WITH NO MILEAGE OR YEAR RESTRAINTS ON IT!! VERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS OUT THERE ABOUT THIS!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DEFECT THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR!! *TR
