Description of the problem	Over the last few months i have noticed that my 2004 chevy avalanche speedometer suddenly goes off by 10-80 miles an hour. There are no events that "cause" this to occur, it appears to do it randomly. I notice it when the vehicle suddenly appears to be going faster or slower than the speed indicated. I tried contacting the dealer for repair but they have ignored my online repair appointment submittal. The upsetting part is that my warranty just ran out. This is a major problem and needs to be fixed. Luckily my cell phone has gps and will indicate ground speed. I can use it to verify the vehicle speed. I am lucky that i have not gotten a ticket or killed. I have a photo of my speedometer nearly pegged out at 115 miles an hour to prove it. I have never driven my vehicle that fast. I heard that others are having problem with gm suv speedometers. This appears to be a wide spread problem. *jb
