I WENT TO WASHINGTON AUTO SHOW TODAY 2/4/2012 AND ONE OF YOUR REP GAVE ME A CARD ABOUT YOUR SERVICE. I CAME HOME AND CHECK OUT YOUR WEBSITE AND FOUND OUT YOU HAVE BEEN RECEIVING COMPLAINTS ABOUT INSTRUMENT PANEL OF CHEVY SUBURBAN. I BOUGHT A 2005 CHEVY SUBURBAN IN MARCH 2005 FROM WIN KELLY CHEVORLET IN CLARKSVILLE, MD. ABOUT MIDDLE OF LAST YEAR I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER IS ALWAYS STUCK, RUNNING HIGH THAN THE SPEED I AM DRIVING AND JUST EXACTLY AS BEING DESCRIBED BY OTHER OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. WHAT IS THE DEPARTMENT DOING TO HELP WITH THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND HAVE IT CORRECTED RATHER THAN WE CONSUMERS BEING SADDLED WITH UNEXPECTED REPAIR COST? *KB
