Consumer Description

05 GMC SIERRA SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC AT FIRST,15,000 ML.,NOW AT 62,000 ML. DOESN'T WORK. I WAS GOING 50 AT A STOP SIGN. I HAVE MY OWN BUSINESS AND PULL TRAILERS W/ EQUIPMENT AND THE RIGHT SPEED IS CRITICAL FOR THE TOWING WEIGHTS. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WILL NEVER TAKE A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER AS A REASON FOR GOING OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. INTERSTATE DRIVING IS AT A MINIMUM BECAUSE GOING WITH THE FLOW WILL MEAN OVER HEATING OF THE SMALL TRAILER TIRES ON THE TILT BED TRAILER. NO ACTION YET IT JUST QUIT TODAY,1-4-2010 , AND I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO ADD TO THE NUMBERS OF OTHERS THAT HAVE ALREADY FILED. *TR
