| Description of the problem | The speedometer is broken. After registering wrong speeds for a day (sometimes 0 mph), it finally stuck on 120mph. It no longer works. I contacted the dealer for help with the speedometer and with a problem i was having with inaccurate tire pressure readings and an inoperable second row (middle) seat belt. The dealer said sorry it is out of warranty, but the salesperson said she would check to see if there was anything she could do and call me back. I never heard from her. I can appreciate normal wear and tear repairs. On a two year old vehicle, i expected to replace my tires, not my seat belt and speedometer. At this point, i do not intend to buy another gm product!! I also do not intend to purchase from james wood in denton or decatur, texas. |
