Description of the problem	In the 2nd year i owned my truck it noticed that when the outside temp got below 50 degrees f that my speedometer would stop working. When it warmed up 10-15 degrees it would start working again. After about a year of this it just became completely unreliable all the time regardless of temp. Now it just sits between 50-120 mph whether you are moving are not moving. This last year the gas gauge also became completely unreliable. I've heard chevy sent out letters saying that if your vehicle has less than 7 yrs or less than 70,000 they would fix it free, mine has over a hundred but i never got a letter and still live at same address. I've heard there is a class action suit but haven't seen it. I would take my truck to the chevy dealership but this would cost me a diagnostic fee of $110 and they still would fix it free, they would charge me $600. This is a safety issue. A driver must know the speed of their vehicle and they must know how much fuel is in the vehicle.
