While going down the road my speedometer was showing 120mph and I was only running 75mph. When I stop and shut off my vehical the speedometer reads 45mph instead of 0mph. If you switch the ignistion off and on several times it will eventually go back to 0mph. I was doing some research on it and found this web site www.topix.net. I found out pretty quick this is nothing new. There were so many listings on there for the same problem that it was unrealistic. I have always owned chrysler products unitll I purchased my gmc. I have done nothing but bragg about howw I don't never have problems with this truck but now seeing all of these complaints for the same thing I kinda feel like an idiot. This is a very big safety issue exspecially when traveling the interstates. This could cause some prety serious wrecks when your showing your running 100mph and only doing 60mph. Thats asking for a major rear end collision. If any one is listening and is conserned about the consumers safety then something needs to be done pretty quick. I have read where consumers have spent thousands of dollars to make this repair. With as many complaints I have read there should be something done pretty quick before someone gets injured or even killed. So if any one cares do something about it.
