Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2003 silverado ls half ton pick up truck. this past weekend, i was returning from ft. worth, tx and had my cruise control set on 67mph. i was stopped and told that i was clocked at 85mph. after much argument, the officer allowed me to leave, and the speedometer would not work at all. apparently, while the cruise control was set at 67, the speed had crept up to 85mph. i did not drive my truck sunday or monday, but when i left to take it to the shop tuesday morning, the speedometer was working fine. my mechanic checked for any codes and it turned up an ip code whatever that may be. considering it would cost about $600.00 dollars to have something replaced that is now working, i elected to keep an eye on it. my question is, how can i trust this now? this can be quite expensive if i am issued a citation, but more than anything else, it is a safety problem. someone can unknowingly be going that fast is a very big liability to your company and to my life. if this is a recurring problem, these ip modules need to be recalled, they are a hazard. *tr
