| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was in the midst of a 10 hour road trip over the holidays when the speedometer originally quit working. i was traveling at a rate of 70 mph. the speedometer started inching up and buried itself at 120 mph. i pulled off the road in an attempt to get the speedometer to go back down but it settled on 60 mph while in park. i continued on w/my trip and took the car to the dealership upon arrival in abilene, ks. they were not able to identify the problem in the cluster and checked bulletins for past problems w/speedometers. over the course of 3 months the speedometer continued to repeat this action. i had it into a dealership in austin, tx on three separate occasions w/the same response from the dealership until the speedometer finally quite working altogether. the dealer told me he had seen this in a few other models by gm. i called and filed a complaint with gm and was told there was nothing they would do. i then had to pay to have the cluster replaced in february 2007. three weeks later the car was back in b/c the entire system shut down and the speedometer quit working. the service department saw the problem upon arrival but was unable to prolong. *jb |
