| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Over the last few months i have noticed that my 2004 chevy avalanche speedometer suddenly goes off by 10-80 miles an hour. there are no events that "cause" this to occur, it appears to do it randomly. i notice it when the vehicle suddenly appears to be going faster or slower than the speed indicated. i tried contacting the dealer for repair but they have ignored my online repair appointment submittal. the upsetting part is that my warranty just ran out. this is a major problem and needs to be fixed. luckily my cell phone has gps and will indicate ground speed. i can use it to verify the vehicle speed. i am lucky that i have not gotten a ticket or killed. i have a photo of my speedometer nearly pegged out at 115 miles an hour to prove it. i have never driven my vehicle that fast. i heard that others are having problem with gm suv speedometers. this appears to be a wide spread problem. *jb |
