Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have an '04 chevy silverado that has a speedometer that does not work. it shows 15 mph when i am at a stop sign, than it moves up when i start to drive. however it just jumps around and usually falls back down to 15 or 20 mph after driving a few miles and never moves again until i restart the car. i have contacted gm and the dealer and they refuse to repair it except at my cost. i feel this is a major safety issue and gm needs to recall it. i am not sure how many other vehicle years this effects but i have heard from numerous people that is has happened to them in the '03 and '05 gm vehicles. this needs to be addressed soon before someone gets into and accident. i have no way of gauging my speed and i don't have the $700 right now to get it repaired. what should i do? *jb
