Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS TO REPRESENT TRUE VEHICLE SPEED. USING A GPS WE CAN MONITOR THE INACCURACY IN THE GAUGE READING. THE SPEEDOMETER REFLECTS A SPEED OF 25 WHEN ACTUAL SPEED IS 45. THIS BECOMES WORSE AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AS THE SPEEDOMETER COMPLETELY FAILS TO REGISTER SPEED. AN IDENTICAL ISSUE WAS PRESENT ON A 2003 CHEVROLET TRUCK WE OWN WHICH WAS REPAIRED BY GM UNDER AN IN-HOUSE PROGRAM RESULTING FROM A LAWSUIT. GM HAS DECLINED TO REPAIR THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL. IF A DRIVER CANNOT ACCURATELY DETERMINE HIS/HER SPEED AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT THE POSSIBILITY FOR SAFETY RELATED INSTANCES ARE INCREASED FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. *TR
