Description of the problem | The speedometer on my 2004 chevrolet avalanche indicated a rising speed while, in fact, i was decelerating to try to meet the speed limit (i thought). The needle continued until it was completely off the scale while actually doing about 65 mph. Now, at a stop, it registers about 45 mph and varies with actual speed. *jb |
