5 Electrical System problem of the 2003 Chevrolet C1500

Failure Date: 08/03/2008

Driving on the freeway thinking that the other drivers were going slow. I then noticed that the engine rpm was more like I was traveling at approximately 95 mph while speedometer registered 65 mph. Eventually during this trip the speedometer dropped to zero mph. After stopping and resuming the trip the speedometer appeared to be working properly, but that only lasted for about 15 miles when I noticed it again losing speed while the engine rpm remained the same. Again it eventually dropped to zero. I have been researching on the internet and have noted at least 300 similar complaints. This is a safety issue. I could have easily caused an accident, or received a citation had I had the misfortune to have been observed by law enforcement before I detected the malfunction myself. This needs to be a recall before someone gets killed.

6 Electrical System problem of the 2003 Chevrolet C1500

Failure Date: 05/04/2008

We just received class action suit papers regarding the failure of the speedometer today on 8-13-08. The paper work says gm began a special coverage campaign on 9-28-07 so why are we just now hearing of this. My speedometer went out at 78k (may 4th 2008)! had I received this paperwork the speedometer would have been covered under this lawsuit. At the time they (gm) decided to replace the speedometer (September 2007) I only had 68k. This is unfair. The dealer knows they should recall their faulty product, but are willing to settle in a class action law suit. There is just one problem! most people who have a 2003 model have more than 70k on the vehicle. We now have 84k miles, a speedometer that has completely quit working, and a company that does not want to take responsibility for their errors. I don't understand why there is no recall! there are enough people to file a class action suit so therefore, should there not be enough to make them recall this product?.
