Consumer Description

WHILE ON CONGESTED EXPRESSWAY, PASSING VEHICULAR TRAFFIC BEGAN WITH SOUNDING HORNS, HAND SIGNS OF DISPLEASURE AND RAGE. AT THIS TIME AN OBSERVATION OF SPEEDOMETER HAD A READING OF 55 MPH, THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. UPON EXITING EXPRESSWAY AND STOPPING ANOTHER OBSERVATION OF SPEEDOMETER REVEALED VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING AT 55 MPH. DURING THIS TIME A MOTORIST HAD FOLLOWED FROM EXPRESSWAY, APPROACHED AND OFFERED TO VIOLENTLY PLACE MY CRANIUM INTO MY ANUS THEREBY IMPROVING MY DRIVING SKILLS. AFTER FLEEING THIS HAZARDOUS SITUATION A CLOSER INSPECTION OF SPEEDOMETER INFORMED ME OF A UNPREDICTABLE, ERRATIC READINGS WHICH BORDERED ON NOT WORKING TO SHOWING 100 MPH WHEN NOT IN MOTION. THIS HAS CLEARLY CAUSED A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION ON THE PUBLIC WAY WHICH MAYBE RECTIFIED BY A RECALL NOTICE FROM GM ON THIS VEHICLE (INSTRUMENT CLUSTER) PART WHICH IS FAULTY. AN INVESTIGATION OF REPORTED COMPLAINTS, REVEALED AN OVERWHELMING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE PART, CALLING FOR IMMEDIATE GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT AND ACTION. *TR
