Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) there were no specific events that lead to failure. (2) my 2004 chevy silverado speedometer stopped working at about 40k miles when warranty was out. dealer says it costs approximately $500. i've read many websites describing this issue along with lawsuits in ca, or, and wa, so i was hoping gm would recall. i've been driving for 9 months guessing my speed. it is march 2007 and vehicle inspection is due so now i have to pay $500 since gm has not recalled this issue. i've seen concerns about this issue that go back to 2005. how is it that no one has forced gm to recall this potential dangerous defect. (3) to correct problem, i will have to pay $500 to fix a defect that gm knows about and won't do anything about.*jb
