| I have a 2005 chevy avalanche that i am the original owner and have recently had a problem with the speedometer not working correctly. some days it works fine and other days it doesn't work or the speed is all over the place. i have heard this has been an issue on previous year models and gm has not done a recall. no one can tell me exactly what the problem is and i don't want to waste money trying to figure it out. this is obviously a problem gm has known about and will not address. this is also a safety issue that gm needs to rectify asap! any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. thank you for your assistance in this matter, regards, mr. anthony trapino *tr | |||
