Consumer Description

FOLLOW UP TO ODI ID#10298010 IT WOULD SEEM THAT DEATH OR INJURY MUST RESULT FROM AN EQUIPMENT FAILURE TO WARRANT ACTION. I WAS LUCKY TO ESCAPE EITHER WHEN, WHILE DRIVING I 80 THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE SPEED CONTROL WAS SET AT 65MPH, BUT WHEN I REALIZED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INDICATING +100MPH, I REDUCED SPEED RAPIDLY AND WAS VERY NEARLY RUN OVER BY THE SEMI TRACTOR/TRAILER BEHIND ME. GM IS AWARE THAT COMPONENTS IN THESE INSTRUMENT PANELS ARE DEFECTIVE. PLEASE,DEMAND A RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR
