| Description of the problem | The speedometer started going way below the actual speed i was going. I'd have to turn the engine off and restart it and keep doing this until it gets back to normal. This went on for several weeks where it was fine, then it would drop below 0 at a stop sign, then would show 10 mph when i was actually doing about 35. Now it's doing just the opposite. The other night i looked down at the speedometer and almost panicked because it said i was going 90 mph! I was actually doing around 50. This is a very serious safety issue and gmc should recall. *nm |
