Description of the problem	Was driving at a rate i thought was around 65-70 mph but got pulled over for going 84 mph. I explained to the officer i was only going about 68 mph. He then showed me the radar gun and it said 84mph. When i went back to my truck i noticed my gauge was stuck on 18mph i showed the officer and luckily he told me ha had the same problem with his chevy truck and let me off with just a warning. To make things worse all gauges don't work now. I've read some messages online and some people said they got letters to repair this problem. I've been the only owner of this truck since may 2004 and never received anything about this problem. I believe gm should repair the problem because it's a big safety issue. Please help. Thank you
