| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The speedometer in my 2004 chevy trailblazer began to show the wrong speed at about 45,000 miles. the needle would increase with speed as it should have but would not go back down again like it should. then it quit working altogether and the needle just hangs limp. we had the speedometer diagnosed at another facility since this occurred around the holidays and gm dealers could not get us in. my wife has been commuting 20-30 miles daily having no idea how fast she is going because gm refuses to correct the problem. i have found hundreds of similar stories after researching it on the internet. every person i know with a large gm vehicle has had to replace it between 40,000 and 50,000 miles. the facility that diagnosed the problem said that the speedometer head was stripped and the dealerships know the price of this part off the top of their heads, presumably because they replace many of them. *jb |
