Description of the problem	The speedometer on my 2003 gmc sierra sle is faulty. It began at approximately 37,000 miles and reads between 20-60 mph higher than my actual speed. The problem was initially isolated to the speedometer, but now my tachometer is now reading 800-2000 rpm higher than actual and the amp meter has also started to reading high. I contacted a local gmc dealership and got an estimate of around $600 dollars to fix the problem. The technician i spoke to at the gmc dealership informed me that there have been many similar complaints from gmc owners but no recall has been initiated. I did some research online and found discussion forums where many other gmc owners are experiencing the same problems. I believe this to be a safety issue that needs to be addressed and gmc confronted with a solution. *jb
