Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The speedometer stopped working at 40,000 miles. it make a clicking sound and sometimes works but then drops to 0 miles per hour. i looked online and found hundreds of other people complaining about the same problem. the dealer said there was nothing they could do except take the entire instrument cluster out and send it away for a $500.00 repair. general motors refuses to do anything about the problem even though it is only out of warranty 4,000 miles. it is a safety hazard because it works sometimes but is way off under the real speed. *jb
