Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Under normal driving conditions the speedometer on some gm trucks will hang when decelerating and when accelerating again the speedometer starts from the position that it hung. the part that is failing is a motor that controls the speedometer and to replace the part you must replace the whole instrument cluster at a cost of $600. it seems to happen right around 50k miles and at that point it is no longer under warranty. it leaves you not knowing how fast you are going as well as not being able to pass a vehicle inspection. *jb
