Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The speedometer on my 03 chevrolet silverado randomly sticks. right now it is stuck at 80 mph and the truck is stationary and is not even started. this causes my speed to display wrong and i must use simple arithmetic to figure out how fast i'm going. however, at this point, i can only use that arithmetic to determine up to 40 mph as my speedometer only measures up to 120. after that, i don't know how fast i'm going. this is the fourth time this has happened -- it seems to eventually fix itself only to happen again. in checking internet chat rooms, this seems to be a common occurrence for chevy/gm vehicles in that production year. why has this been allowed to continue without a recall? my car is due for inspection. i can only hope that i get the speedometer back to 0 to have this inspection done as i don't have time to get the repair done nor do i feel i should have to spend a dime on something that is obviously a manufacturing problem. please do your job and issue a recall. otherwise, it's back to buying foreign vehicles! *nm
