Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER IS VERY ERRATIC SOMETIMES SHOWING A FASTER SPEED THAN TRAVELED SOMETIMES A SLOWER SPEED OR NO SPEED AT ALL THE ODOMETER HAS SINCE QUIT WORKING AND DISPLAYS ODOMETER ERROR WHERE THE MILEAGE SHOULD READ. AND NOW THE ENGINE WATER TEMP GAUGE IS DEAD POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN WHERE THERE ARE NO NUMBERS AND NEVER MOVES. DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW SAYS THEY HAVE REPAIRED QUITE A FEW OF THESE AND WILL COST AROUND $350. TO SEND IT OUT TO BE REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED REPAIR PLACE. I THINK G M SHOULD STAND BEHIND SUCH A PROBLEM AND RECALL THESE TRUCKS TO FIX THEM.
