| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While traveling, my speedometer on my 2004 chevy silverado would not read an accurate mileage, for example while traveling 60 mph, the speedometer would be in excess of 100 mph, thus causing a safety issue, due to the fact that i do not know the exact speed of my vehicle, and can only judge that my vehicle is traveling the correct speed by pacing other vehicles on the highway. in fact i was pulled over for speeding, and when asked how fast i was going, i showed the police officer that my speedometer was reading 40 mph when i was parked, when in fact i was going approximately 10 miles above the speed limit. i went to the chevy dealership, and the service representative said that he has had to replace a couple of theses, and with parts and labor would be approximately $700. my warranty expired just 700 miles prior to this defect starting. i was about to pay to get this repaired, when i decided to do research online to see if this was a problem with other silverados, and come to find out, there are many cases like mine. i feel due to the fact that there are so many cases like this, that it should be considered a defect, and be repaired at no cost to the customer. *nm |
