Pete EDIT: Stieger, did you see this: http://camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84386? I don't see anything in the TSB search, but you may want to PM the OP in that thread and see where the dealer got that info. |

Pete thanks for the reeply, will shoot you that email once I'm home. I didn't see that thread but that's the first thing they did with mine. Told me it was a TSB and called for them to replace the front brake pads with new ones that had a lower metal concentration.
Yes, I'm on C5 at work. Don't judge |

So don't have your email Pete, I gave you mine awhile ago. Posting the work log on here if that's ok. Just easier/quicker really. Also, I called the executive office today in hoping that they had some more news. They did not. They want another dealer technician to look at the car. AKA if I want the car looked at I need to drop it off for an unknown amount of time ..... again.

I figure it'd be polite to keep you all up to date with what's going on considering how much help you all have been.
Update: Dropped Eleanor off at the dealers yesterday morning for a couple things: 1) the brakes squeaking/squealing 2) I am missing the trunk release handle thing, last time it was at the dealers they lost it/broke it/took it off (the one inside the trunk so if you ever get kidnapped and thrown in your own car you can get out) 3) for some reason the rearview mirror is coming loose all the time, not a big deal though 4) the lurching forward when going from P to D 5) and finally a weird squeaking noise from the drivers seat. The service rep told me that because it was the weekend they only have 4 techs on duty so I may not be getting the car back by Monday. Which was fine. I called today because I remembered something I wanted them to look at, after some chit chat the tech tells me that I'll probably/hopefully be getting my car back sometime late this week (he said Thursday ish). Which was not fine, but I understand that they're busy and I want them to take their time so it was ok. My guesstamation of what'll happen ----> come thursday they'll tell me that they didn't hear the brakes squeak and the lurching forward is normal. Upside, we tightened your mirror and looked at the seat. I'll be sure to keep you all updated with whatever info I get. |

Hi Everyone,
I've been wanting to keep the thread updated for a week now. I had been having trouble with my speedometer sticking, and was on the phone with GM as well as talking with the dealer. I was told by all parties that the problem didn't exist until it could be verified by someone other than myself. It had stuck a total of three times, and on the fourth time, I was able to bring it to the dealership, grab a service guy by the collar, and simply point to the speedo which was stuck at 60mph. Finally, they acknowledged the problem and agreed to fix it. I scheduled this service as well as a PDIM software update, the HVAC reprogram, and investigation into an air conditioning rattle. All but the rattle was taken care of on a Saturday (reasonable time considering all that was to be fixed, dropped off at 9am and picked up at 3pm) Though I am happy that they fixed my speedo problem, I'll be forever weary of dealing with GM and intermittent (yet serious) problems like a speedometer sticking. As far as the rattle goes, I didn't give them a 100% complete description of the problem, and they tried to identify the rattle by putting the fan on 100%, when it is most prevalent at 50%. Oh well, I'll live with it until I can bring it in and bring a service engineer for a quick spin. Thanks to camaropete and others who have tried to help the process along. -Joe |

Thanks so much for posting the update. Sorry that it took all that it did to get the sticking speedo taken care of finally. Hopefully you will get many many years of enjoyment out of the car and all of this will be a distant memory. Pete |
