| Description of the problem | I own a 2005 chevy tahoe. The speedometer stops working in the middle of the road and starts showing wrong speeds. This is a serious security issue as you suddenly lost in the middle of traffic because you do not know how fast you are traveling. I was checking online and there are thousands of such complaints. I think dot should seriously look into this issue as a safety issue. |
