ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT 78,000 MILES SPEEDOMETER PEGGED OUT AT 120 MPH. PULLED CLUSTER PANEL AND PUSHED NEEDLE BACK DOWN TO 0. WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 3,000 MILES. NOW IT IS A EVERYDAY REPAIR. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. I LOVE HOW GM KNOWS WHEN THESE WILL FAIL AT 70,000. GM OR DELPHI SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THIS. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM FILING THE COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE PREVIOUSLY TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO BOB JEANNOTTE PONTIAC-GMC TRUCK, INC., PLYMOUTH, MI 48170 (734) 453-2500 TO HAVE AN INSPECTION FOR RUSTED BRAKE LINES AS WELL AS RUSTED FRAME ON THE ABOVE LISTED INCIDENT DATE. MY INVOICE # IS GCCS189900 AND MY CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE PROVIDED CASE # IS 71-784-24265. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE CONDITIONS BY THE DEALER REP. THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING CONTINUAL RUST PROBLEMS TO BOTH THE BRAKE LINES AND FRAME. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AS I UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM UP TO YEAR 2003 AND WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE YEAR TO BE INCLUDED IN THESE INVESTIGATION ISSUES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DETAILS: 2005 GMC SIERRA PICK UP TRUCK. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WILL NOT GO BACK TO 0 WHEN I AM STOPPED, WHICH CAUSES THE SPEEDOMETER TO READ WRONG MPH WHEN DRIVING. THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MORE AND MORE SINCE IT FIRST BEGAN. IT STARTED FOR NO APPARENT REASON APPROXIMATELY 6 - 7 MONTHS AGO. DEALER WAS VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT I AM PAST ANY WARRANTIES OUT THERE. APPROXIMATE COST TO ME TO FIX FROM THE DEALER IS $500. I CANT AFFORD THIS. HOWEVER, BASED UPON NUMBER OF POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET, IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR
