Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving on an icy road outside of chicago when i almost lost control of my vehicle due to speed creep this was caused by the speedometer of the vehicle failing and sticking at 37 mph. i estimate that when i skidded out that i was most likely going over 50 mph. i've had multiple problems where the speedometer has stuck afterward, but was able to avoid similar incidences because i realized their could be a problem. i am driving a 2004 chevrolet suburban. this is not a safe situation. if there were other traffic, structures, or pedestrians around property may have been damaged and people may have been injured or killed. it is not an isolated incident either. if you go to www.topix.net you can read 380 postings of people having the same problems. just type in suburban speedometer stuck. *nm
