What owners wrote

My speedometer gauge works when it wants. The car can be in park, however speedometer may read 30MPH. Just recently I was traveling out of state and while on the interstate, my speedometer quit working and the needle went to zero. And in a like manner, on the way back, my speedometer read ten miles below my actual speed and almost caused me to get a ticket. From asking around many chevy and GMC vehicles with a similar gauge face have experience a problem with one of their gauges. Please help me.

Instrument cluster stopped working. I can no longer judge speed. Tires cracked and dry rotted on sidewalls and had to be replaced at early mileage.
