Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 50 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER WENT DOWN TO ZERO. AFTER STOPPING AND STARTING AGAIN IT WENT TO 120 AND STAYED THERE. STARTING THE CAR NOW IT STAYS AT 120 MPH AND DOES NOT RETURN TO ZERO. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL GM CARS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT IT WILL COST $500.00 TO $600.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK THIS OUT AS A RECALL. THIS IS AN ITEM THAT SHOULD WORK 100% OF THE TIME ALL THE TIME AND A FAILURE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT CAN BE DONE.
