SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AT TIMES, GETS STUCK AROUND 70MPH WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES AT OTHER SPEEDS. WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF IT DOES NOT GO TO ZERO INSTEAD IT GOES TO 20-40MPH AND THEN I GUESS IT THINKS THAT'S WHERE ZERO STARTS. TRUCK ONLY HAD 42,000 MILES WHEN THESE PROBLEMS STARTED AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. THE TRUCK IS A 2004 GMC SIERRA Z71 ALMOST NEW. SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR
