Description of the problem	My speedometer has been freezing up and not working properly lately. Sometimes, especially when it's cold out, the speedometer will stay at 0 mph and not even move - once it does get going, it go up, but when i come to a complete stop, it won't go back to 0 - it may stop at 20 or 30. Sometime, the speedometer will even exceed the max speed on the dash and i know i'm not going that fast. This problem seems to be a reoccuring issue with many users of a '04 chevy tahoe - i would think this would warrant a recall if this many people are having the same problem. I have heard gm had sent out a letter addressing this issue, but will only cover it if there's 70,000 or less on the vehicle - what do the people do if they are over that mark, we shouldn't have to pay for this - especially if everyone is having the same problem - this seems to be a safety issue as well. What can be done?
