| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 chevrolet tahoe. Around 70k miles, my speedometer began acting up. It started off sticking at around 30 mph no matter how fast i really was going. Lately it will either not work at all, will stick at 30 mph, or has even began to climb to 120 mph while i was doing 30 mph according to a gps which i am forced to use to measure my speed because of no speedometer. The dealer quoted me $500. 00. This is very bothersome and i know many people who are experiencing the same issue. Chevrolet acts as if we are at fault for this everytime i go in and complain. I have been pulled over 4 times because i was going over the speed limit by less than 10 mph. This could be avoided if i had a working speedometer. |
