Speedometer on my truck reads incorrectly. This morning I started my truck and was instantly going 25 mph, which then indicated I was driving at 60mph going with the flow of traffic on a 35mph road. Also while driving on the highway my speedometer reading will slowly drop until it reaches 0mph. I just bought the truck in July and didn't realize there was a problem with this until I was increasing my speed on the freeway and flying past cars at probably 90mph, but my speedometer said I was going 60, that is when I looked and just saw the speedometer slowly creep down to 30. I purchased the truck at 64000 and noticed the problem several days after. Lately the speedometer almost always adds 20-30 mph in the morning when I start it. (its really fun to be stopped at a stop light doing 100mph). I have not corrected the problem. I just called the dealer to day and they said because my mileage is over 70000 miles they will charge me to fix it. I really don't have the money to fix a problem that if you look online appears to be happening to a lot of different people with a lot of different vehicles. I also discovered there is a class action law suit about this but I really don't know any of this because I just bought this truck in July and was never told by the dealer or have I received any recall or service notices yet.
