WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO STOP, MY SPEEDOMETER DID NOT ZERO OUT. WHEN I STARTED TO GO IT CONTINUED FROM WHERE IT WAS. I DID NOT REALLY KNOW HOW FAST I WAS GOING. SEVERAL STOPS AND EACH TIME IT DID NOT ZERO. TO GET IT ZEROED I HAD TO SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTART SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT ZEROED OUT. IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES THIS BRINGS EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR ON THE STARTER AND BATTERY. IT COULD ALSO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS YOU REALLY HAVE NO CLUE ON YOUR CORRECT SPEED. VEHICLE: 2005 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT. BOUGHT GPS TO KEEP UP WITH SPEED. DEALER WOULD NOT FIX PROBLEM. THEN, OIL PRESSURE, WATER TEMP ALSO STOPPED WORKING. COME TO FIND OUT, GM USED DEFECTIVE STEPPER MOTORS ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FROM 02 - 07 I BELIEVE IT WAS, NOT SURE. I HAVE HAD 1 SPEEDING TICKET AND THEY TAGGED ON WRECKLESS DRIVING FOR 20 MPH OVER LIMIT. I HAVE BEEN A DEDICATED GM OWNER MY ENTIRE LIFE. DON'T THINK I WILL BY ONE AGAIN. SEEMS TO ME THEY WOULD WANT TO DO WHAT THEY CAN TO KEEP THERE CUSTOMERS, INSTEAD, THEY ARE RUNNING THEM AWAY. I HAVE KNOW MORE LOYALTY FOR THEM AT THIS POINT. I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY AVALANCHE Z71 ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE TRUCK BUT IT HAS TO GO. HUMMM...TOYOTA MAYBE, DODGE SO MANY CHOICES. BUY AMERICA, SAVE AMERICA....BULL CRAP. I'D BETTER HUSH... *TR
