Description of the problem | 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. |
