Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2004 chevy avalanche is having a problem with the speedometer. i was on a cross country trip and it started going past 120 when i was driving 10 mph in the snow!!! the it sticks at whatever speed it feels like sticking on.. my rpm gauge has been acting a bit funny also. it didn't work at one point just last night. i turned the truck off and restarted it. i can been able to "reset" the speedometer by almost turning the truck on until it gets back to "0", but i am afraid this will eventually break my starter. this is a safety issue (even though gm says it is not) because if speed wasn't a factor in auto safety we wouldn't have speed limits! how can a consumer be safe if they cannot tell how fast they are driving? *nm
