NHTSA Complaint #10360131 — 2005 ISUZU ASCENDER

THE VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL WORK FINE FOR 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND THEN DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED AND EVENTUALLY STOPS WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS. I CONTACTED ISUZU CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT A BROKEN SPEEDOMETER IS NOT "A SAFETY ISSUE." WHEN I QUESTIONED THAT STATEMENT THE REPRESENTATIVE DID ADMIT THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE KNOWN PROBLEM. A 5 YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. *TR
