The speedometer in my '05 avalanche stays at zero while driving or reads anywhere form 20-40 mph slower than i am going. i was doing about 50 mph on the freeway passing everyone (according to my speedometer) and passing everyone in sight. it felt a little fast so i turned on my gps and realized i was going about 80 mph. this is a major problem and gm needs to recall the vehicle. *tr
