2005 BUICK RAINIER Complaints

MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT SHOWING THE ACCURATE SPEED. THE NEEDLE SHOOTS TO 100-120MPH, WHEN I AM ONLY DOING 65 MPH. WHEN I TURN THE TRUCK OFF IT WILL SIT AT 60MPH OR STAY ON 120MPH. I HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND ON TO RESET THE SPEEDOMETER. THE OIL GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING. ALSO MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKER WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING MY SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 120MPH WHEN IN FACT I'M ONLY DOING 65MPH. IT'LL STAY STUCK AT 60 AND 120MPH WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND ON TO RESET IT BACK TO 0. ONE DAY IT WORKS FINE, NEXT DAY IT'S READING INCORRECTLY. MY OIL GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. MY HEADLIGHTS ALSO FLICKER WHILE I'M DRIVING.

NEEDS TO EXPAND ITS RECALL TO INCLUDE 05 MODELS. I FILED A COMPLANT WITH G.M.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO BOUNCE. RIDING IN THE CAR IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE I AM BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE ON THE INSIDE TO THE POINT THAT I GET A HEADACHE AND MY NECK HURTS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM RIDING AT 10 MPH OR 50MPH IT BOUNCES THE SAME. THE REAR OF THE CAR SITS VERY LOW AND NOW SCRAPES WHEN I GO OVER A SLIGHT BUMP. *TR
