| Description of the problem | On this date the speedometer and battery gauge began to go haywire, at first they began to jump up so it looked like i was driving faster then i was down the interstate. The next day when i drove my tahoe the speedometer kept getting higher and has maxed out over 120 mph, and the battery meter well over 19 volts and they do not move anymore. I now have to rely on a portable gps in my car to estimate how fast i am traveling. I see there was a class action lawsuit on this, but i am 3,000 miles over the 80,000 required to get a replacement gauge cluster. |
