Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: What dose it take to get a recall on a vehicle since there are a lot of people having the same problem with their vehicle just out of warranty the speedometer is broke, i can be parked and it reads 120 mph or driving down the highway and it reads 0 mph. why is there not a recall on this part? i am told that the consumer cost is around $500 to fix it, that gmac dealerships will not pick up the cost because there is not a recall on it. this is a very unsafe issue not knowing the real speed that you are driving and just trying to figure out your speed and hope you don't get a ticket because you don't have the cash flow to fix it because it is a gmac defect. i have a 2004 chevy silverado pick-up with around 44,500 miles on it, it is very unsafe when you drive with small children in this vehicle around all the time. what can be done to get gmac to recall theses vehicle? i have brought 1 gmc truck and 3 silverado trucks all new and this is the 1st one that i have had this problem with. i think i will rethink the next time i buy a new vehicle as to another model other then gmac if a recall is not done and i as a consumer have to pay for a gmac defect problem.*jb
