| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 chevrolet avalanche that i purchased new from the dealer. it has approximately 104,000 miles on it. the problem is that my speedometer is acting erratically. some times it will say i am doing 120 mph on the highway or city street and sometimes it will not move at all. when i turn off my vehicle, it is often stuck at some speed such as 65mph. i can hear a physical grinding noise in the speedometer itself. this does not seem to adversely affect the odometer. i cannot reliably tell what speed i'm going, and my vehicle will not pass the texas state inspection with this problem. i contacted the dealer, and was told by the service advisor that this was extremely common, but that there is no recall. they said it will cost over 500.00 to fix this problem. i researched it on the internet and found literally hundreds of cases of this exact same problem. i pointed this out, and the dealer said basically that chevrolet will not address this issue. *tr |
