2005 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK WITH 79,000 MILES STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPING AND STICKING. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD $538 TO FIX IT. HOWEVER, AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO FIX MYSELF, I DISCOVERED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IS A LAWSUIT PENDING BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO QUIT WORKING, OR WILL REGISTER INACCURATE SPEEDS. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 54000 MILES ON IT AND I KNOW THAT THEY ARE "EXTENDING" THE COVERAGE ON THE 03-04 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2005'S. THIS FAILURE COULD EASILY CAUSE SPEEDING TICKETS OR WORSE, ACCIDENTS. GM IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY NEED TO CORRECT IT. I AM TRYING TO GET MINE FIXED THROUGH GM BUT THEY WILL LIKELY ONLY PAY A PERCENTAGE OF THE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

SPEEDOMETER WAS WORKING FINE THEN STARTED TO SPEED UP WHEN I WASN'T. IT HAPPEN EVERYDAY. I TRY TO GET MY CRUISE SET BEFORE IT STARTS SO NOT TO GET A TICKET FOR SPEEDING. DEALER TOLD ME TO CALL GM, WHO IN SO MANY WORDS SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, I DON'T THINK THAT A PART LIKE THIS IS NOT LIKE A BATTERY OR TIRES THAT WEAR OUT OVER A GIVING AMOUNT OF TIME. GM SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE OWNER. I HAVE ABOUT 46,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. JUST GOT THE PRICES LAST WEEK,$400 TO $500 TO FIX. LETS SAY IT'S NOT FIXED YET. *TR
