I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY AVALANCHE THAT I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE RECENTLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. SOME DAYS IT WORKS FINE AND OTHER DAYS IT DOESN'T WORK OR THE SPEED IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE HEARD THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS AND GM HAS NOT DONE A RECALL. NO ONE CAN TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND I DON'T WANT TO WASTE MONEY TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT AND WILL NOT ADDRESS.
