Investigation and pending class action against General Motors Corp. alleging that a defective and highly dangerous speedometer exisits in certain General Motors trucks, model years 2003 through 2007 including Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Denali, GMC Envoy, GMC Sierra, GMC Trailblazer, and Cadillac Escalade. This defect causes the speedometers to register and display inaccurate speeds both when the trucks are at a standstill and when they are moving. Many speedometers fail to register the vehicle's speed at all. For example, in one instance the owner of a 2004 Chevy Suburban reported that the truck's speedometer gradually failed, often reading only 30 miles per hour when he was traveling approximately 60 miles per hour on the freeway and eventually the speedometer stopped working completely.
