| Description of the problem | Around 37,000 miles my speedometer began acting up. It will read anything from 0-120 mph at any speed. This has became a major safety concern when traveling at highway speeds and the speedometer reads 70 mph, but until you pass another vehicle and get a sense of your actual speed that i realize the speedometer is stuck, and i really am traveling closer to 85 or 90. Gm has told me that the entire speedometer would have to be replaced at my expense. A cost of around $450. *nm |
