Consumer Description

SPEEDOMETER VERY ERRATIC, SHOWS EXCESSIVE SPEEDS (120MPH) OR DOESN'T REGISTER CORRECT SPEED AT ALL. CALLED DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT PROBLEM AND NEVER TOLD ABOUT THE TSB ONLY THAT IT WOULD BE OVER $600 TO FIX. DID RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND TSB AND CALLED AGAIN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND ONE THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD ADDRESS ACROSS THE BOARD WITH THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS. THEN WAS TOLD CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE OF MILEAGE UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET. NOW NEEDLE IS STUCK AT ZERO AND UNFORTUNATELY BEING MILITARY WE DON'T GET PAID ENOUGH TO JUST SHELL OUT $600+ ON A WHIM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE CHEVROLET TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAULTY PRODUCTS, IF YOU PAY FOR A PREMIUM PRODUCT YOU SHOULD GET ONE. *TR
