| Description of the problem | My husband and i purchased a brand new 2005 chevrolet tahoe. In the month of march 2009 my speedometer started to read i was going 120 miles per hr but of course that was not the speed i was going. We took our tahoe back to the servco dealership because i had googled and read that there was a speedometer problem and gm was fixing the problem. Well the dealership said that the vin # for the cluster was not one that gm was going to replace for free. Why would they replace some and not all. I would like to make a complaint. I will never buy a american made car as long as i live. That's for sure. |
