| Description of the problem | The speedometer randomly moves from say 30 mph to 120 when you have not increased your speed. When you stop it stays at 120 until you restart the vehicle then it will only come down maybe to 80 when you are standing still. I called the dealer and they want 600 dollars to fix it. I have researched this site and others and have found many people with the same problem. I believe chevrolet should take care of this problem because it is an obvious manufacturing defect and could lead to injury. |
