THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND READS SERIOUSLY ERRONEOUS SPEEDS, BOTH HIGHER AND LOWER THAN TRUE SPEEDS, WHICH I CHECKED WITH A GPS UNIT. APPARENTLY THIS IS DUE TO DEFECTIVE STEPPER MOTORS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET. GM NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THESE. THE DEFECT CAN CAUSE DRIVERS TO TRAVEL AT UNSAFE SPEEDS, AS THEY ARE MISLED BY THE SPEEDOMETER READING. *TR

I HAVE NO SPEEDOMETER AND THE BEARINGS HAVE GONE BAD,I CALLED GM TO SEE ABOUT IT AND GET THE RUN AROUND,CAN U HELP. 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS CX. I HAVE ONLY HAD 9 MONTHS. *TR

OUR 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER CHANGED A SENSOR FOR $125, THAT DID NOT WORK. THEY GREASED THE LINES AND CHECKED IT OUT ON THEIR EQUIPMENT BUT THAT HAS NOT WORKED EITHER. I SAW ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND THEIR ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS. IS THERE A RECALL FROM BUICK? *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT HAS NOT WORKED SINCE. SOMETIMES IT SAYS I'M GOING 10MPH AND SOMETIMES IT SAYS I'M GOING 110MPH AND SOMETIMES IT JUST HANGS DOWN AT THE BOTTOM. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED YOU ARE TRAVELING AT. *TR
