Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While going down the road my speedometer was showing 120mph and i was only running 75mph. when i stop and shut off my vehical the speedometer reads 45mph instead of 0mph. if you switch the ignistion off and on several times it will eventually go back to 0mph. i was doing some research on it and found this web site www.topix.net. i found out pretty quick this is nothing new. there were so many listings on there for the same problem that it was unrealistic. i have always owned chrysler products unitll i purchased my gmc. i have done nothing but bragg about howw i don't never have problems with this truck but now seeing all of these complaints for the same thing i kinda feel like an idiot. this is a very big safety issue exspecially when traveling the interstates. this could cause some prety serious wrecks when your showing your running 100mph and only doing 60mph. thats asking for a major rear end collision. if any one is listening and is conserned about the consumers safety then something needs to be done pretty quick. i have read where consumers have spent thousands of dollars to make this repair. with as many complaints i have read there should be something done pretty quick before someone gets injured or even killed. so if any one cares do something about it. *nm
