VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

 I was driving 75 mph with my cruise control on, and the speedometer dropped to 35 mph. shortly after, about 10 miles, the air bag light came on. the speedometer reset after turning off the ignition switch and worked properly. this happened again two more times, and the speedometer failed completely. the air bag light remained on and is still on at 123000 miles. diagnostic check showed number 1 air bag sensor fault. replaced sensor. air bag light still on. i sent the speedometer head to a private mechanic in minnesota, and it now works fine.

 Spedometer started sticking at 60mph and then if the truck was restarted it would go back to 0 and start working again and then would stick again later. well now it's just stuck at 0 and doesn't move at all. all the other gauges work properly though

 At around 37,000 miles the speedometer started sticking and around 45,000 miles it completely went out and has been stuck at 120 mph ever since. i took it to the chevy dealership and they told me it would cost around 800.00 dollars to fix. i called and complained to gm customer service, at which time they did nothing but told me to take it in and get it repair at my expense. i haven't had the money to have it repaired so far so i have been driving without it. i think chevy should recall the instrument clusters and fix the problem at their own expense.

 Speedometer fails to register actual speed of driving -- will show 120 when driving 70, 90 mph when driving 30mph, 15 mph when stopped at a light. makes highway driving hazardous because i am prone to driving slower than traffic. also concerns about accuracy of the odometer because of this problem.

 Dt*: the contact stated the speedometer is inoperable. the dealership determined the speedometer needs to be replaced
