Consumer Description

LAST YEAR 2009, WHILE ENROUTING TO TOWN I SAW MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE START CRAWLING UP TO 100 MPH, WHILE I WAS SLOWLY MOVING IN A 25 MILE ZONE. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. SINCE I HAD TO GO TO WORK I DID NOT STOP. SO NOW THE NEEDLE OF THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOW STUCK IN THE EXTREME RIGHT OF THE SPEEDOMETER BEYOND THE 120 MILES PER HOUR LEVEL. I TALKED TO SOME PEOPLE WITH AVALANCHE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WE NEED YOUR HELP. THIS ALSO AFFECTS MY SAFETY CHECK REQUIREMENTS WHEN I GO TO GET A SAFETY CHECK UP ANNUALLY. *TR
