| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2003 chevrolet silverado lt z-71 and the speedometer will get stuck in the middle while at stop and while driving about 55 will be pegged out. i took it to the dealer and he told me it was a very common problem and should be on recall. i found an online forum with several hundred disgruntled gm owners having the same problem, most of them say the repairs cost around $700 and the problem sometimes reoccurs. i am a diehard gm fanatic and have owned several and everytime i had a problem it was minor, but this is not a minor problem. in the forum i found there is talk of a class action law suit and i would hate to see this problem go that far, when a recall would take care of the problem. i have seen recalls on alot more minor stuff from gm, so what is the hold up? i cant afford to spend $700 to fix faulty workmanship. the tachometer also doesn't function right, but that doesn't bother me as much as the speedometer. i have also learned that fuel guages may not function properly either and that worries me because my wife uses this truck and has my children with her most of the time and we live in the middle of nowhere and if she runs out of gas she may not have cell service to call someone and the thought of my wife, five year old daughter, and infant son walking down the highway late at night doesn't sit well with me. please do the responsible thing and recall your faulty equipment. *ak |
