Consumer Description

SPEEDOMETER READING ERRATICALLY. 20MPH WHEN PARKED, SOMETIMES 40 WHEN PARKED. UNABLE TO DETERMINE ACTUAL SPEED. APPARENTLY THIS IS AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES AND GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MAYBE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN ORDER? A SILENT RECALL IS IN PLACE IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 80K MILES, IF YOUR VEHICLE FALLS WITHIN THE RANGE OF VIN #'S, IF IT HAPPENED ON A DAY THAT DOESN'T END IN Y. GM NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. ESPECIALLY IF THEY KNOW ITS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
