Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND READS SERIOUSLY ERRONEOUS SPEEDS, BOTH HIGHER AND LOWER THAN TRUE SPEEDS, WHICH I CHECKED WITH A GPS UNIT. APPARENTLY THIS IS DUE TO DEFECTIVE STEPPER MOTORS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THESE. THE DEFECT CAN CAUSE DRIVERS TO TRAVEL AT UNSAFE SPEEDS, AS THEY ARE MISLED BY THE SPEEDOMETER READING. *TR
