My speedometer in my 2003 chevy avalanche is very erratic. It sticks, it says that I am going 40 to 50 MPH higher than I am and sometimes it works just fine. I have read about over 400 other owners of gm trucks with the same problem.

2003 chevy avalanche where speedometer just quit and is now pegged at 120 MPH when parked. This is a safety issue because really have no idea of what speed I am going. Based on many other gm owners I know that have had this problem, gm needs to put a recall on the instrument cluster. Two people I know have had it quoted as a $600 fix. This is insane.

Speedometer failure on our 2003 chevrolet avalanche at 43,000 miles. Speed does not register whatsoever or displays,for example, 20 MPH when traveling in excess of 60 MPH. It is a dangerous situation; a distraction and not knowing one's rate of travel. Gm should address this problem.
