| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2004 chevy silverado. my speedometer started going bad after 50k miles (15k past warranty) the speedometer displays inacurrate speeds. driving on the intersate at 70mph, it reads anywhere from 0-15. sitting at red lights it sticks at 55 or 40. i have no idead how fast i am driving and i view this as a majot safety issue. if it were a rare thing i would consider this a bad apple, however, ther are many many thousands of owners who have the same problem. there is currently a lwasuit in washington state pursuing this issue and one in oregon which is to follow. (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/05/gm-sued-over-inaccurate-speedometers/) bascially, gm is in denial. if you look at mycarstats section on gm website, every single complaint in the misc section is about speedometers. how can this be allowed to continue? why has a recall not been issued. i wish someon would please explain to me how a company such as gm is allowed to get away with putting faulty safety equipment in vehicles. i could believe a quirck on an assembly line casuing this malfunction if it were 10-50 vehicles but were are talking in excess of 10,000 vehicles. |
