Description of the problem	Speedometer failure. At around 55k, my speedometer failed. Before it completely failed, the needle looked like it was struggling to keep up with speed, then it completely failed. When i noticed the failure, i looked down and it said i was going 120mph, which i was not. I've called the original dealership where i purchased the vehicle, they said the 03's and 04's were recalled, but the 05's weren't. I was also told that the 05 suburban was under recall? And that mine should be too because of the same cluster panel. I've heard nothing yet on a recall, and i don't want to be ticketed because i don't know how fast i am going.
