2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

SPEED ODOMETER ON THE 2003 CHEVYROLET TAHOE WAS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL SERVICE DEPARTMENTS, INCLUDING THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE SUV. THIS WAS SO ODD TO THEM, SOME MECHANICS WERE NOT EVEN FAMILIAR WITH REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM. IT ALL STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I DROVE OUT OF TOWN AND NOTICED THAT THE SPEED WAS NOT ADDING UP, AND FINALLY IT JUST WENT TO 120 AND STAYED THERE. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGES WERE OUTRAGEOUS, $400+. I ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR, I NEEDED HELP BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM AND THESE ARE CHEVROLET TAHOES, YUKONS, AVALANCHES. ALL CHEVROLET OR GM. WE NEED HELP BECAUSE THIS MUST BE SOMETHING THAT THEY NEED TO LOOK INTO AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE FOR US. DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. THANK YOU, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAR FROM YOU. *AK *TR
