Description of the problem	Purchased a 2005 chevrolet k1500 silverado used in 10/2009. In 01/2010 the speedometer stopped working at approximately 72k miles. Dealership advised us that this is a known problem in several gm full size trucks and suvs 2003-2007 model years. Gm will not fully cover the cost to replace the defective part. We argue that a speedometer is not a wear and tear item, that the presence of multiple complaints by thousands of consumers prove that this part is consistently failing. We argue that proper operation of a speedometer has a direct impact on the safe operation of a vehicle. We believe that gm should be required to fully cover the cost of the replacement at no expense to the owner of all affected vehicles. If a speed related crash resulted and the liable party was driving an affected vehicle, gm would share in the liability of that loss. This again points that this is a safety component that is consistently failing in thousands of these vehicles.
