2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hd

SPEEDOMETER ISSUE: READS AT LEAST 50 MPH SITTING STILL AND REGISTERS MORE THAN 140 MPG AT HIGHWAY SPEED. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE SENSOR IN THE UNIT AND IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND THEN IT MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN. COST TO REPAIR EXCEEDS $700.00 AS THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MUST BE REPLACED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT WITH THESE VEHICLES. LACK OF A FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER IS A SAFETY ISSUE! TRANSMISSION ALSO REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT ABOUT 80K MILES. *JS
