MY SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 GMC SPEEDOMETER HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY FOR OVER A YEAR. I NOW HAVE 75,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND GMC SAYS IT WILL NOT COVER THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS OCCURRING ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND GENERAL MOTORS IS SCREWING ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS. AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS TO CUSTOMER SERVICE I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPANY EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY TO SEVEN YEARS OR 70000 MILES IN SEPT. AND ALL GM OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED. I THEN ASKED THEM WHEN THEY MAILED MY NOTIFICATION BECAUSE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM NOTIFYING ME OF THE EXTENDED COVERAGE AS OF NOV. 8 2007. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO TELL ME WHEN THEY MAILED A NOTIFICATION TO ME. MY POINT IS THAT IF THE COMPANY HAD NOTIFIED ME IN SEPT. I WOULD NOT BE OVER THE 70000 LIMIT AND WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I FIND IT EXTREMELY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A CORPORATION AS LARGE OS GM DOES NOT KEEP RECORDS OF WHEN THEY NOTIFY CUSTOMERS ABOUT POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS COMPONENTS ON THEIR VEHICLES. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH GM IS TRYING TO GET BY WITH OUT HAVING TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY LAWSUITS OVER THIS MATTER AND I FULLY INTEND TO PURSUE MY LEGAL RIGHTS AS WELL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC SIERRA 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED AND THE NEEDLE BECAME STUCK ON 40 MPH. THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE ALSO FAILED. AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2007, THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,700.

MY SPEEDOMETER STICKS, FLUTTERS, OR DOSEN'T WORK AT ALL. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. I WAS RECENTLY TOLD THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THERE IS A DEFECTIVE PART IN GM VEHICLES. THIS IS A SAFTEY HAZARD AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO ME. *TR

UPON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED PRIOR TO PURCHASE THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT READ ACCURATLY. THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THE FIX. AFTER A DAY OR TWO DURRING A SHORT IN TOWN DRIVE I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ACTING "JERKY". I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, BUT WHEN I LEFT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 60MPH AT A STOP. AT WHAT I ESTIMATED TO BE 65MPH THE SPEEDOMETER READ 120MPH. GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR ALMOST A YEAR BUT THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL ON A OBVIOUSLY FLAWED PRODUCT.
