What owners wrote
My wife has a 2004 GMC envoy,about 6:00 mar 03 2010 she called me from her truck, saying the odometer said she was doing 95 MPH when she was only doing about 55MPH after I got her to calm down and pull over. She stop the truck and waited on me to get there. I notice the rpm's was stuck on 6000 the gas was on a 1/4 tank after she said she had put 40$ in the tank 30min ago plus the clock said 12:49 and it was like 7:00 after talking to a few people found out there was with the cluster.
This past month the speedometer set at 40 MPH with car in "park" position. Afterward when driving, my actual speed had 40MPH added to the reading. This has occurred three times so far in october 2008.
