1995 GMC Sonoma Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Speeddometer floats and don't know how fast I'm driving. Had truck checked and the sensor was replaced, still have the problem. I also have cruise control which doesn't work. I've had numerous other problems with truck starting back at 2,000 mi. I feel this should not be broke., because truck is 51/2 yrs. Old but only 21,000 mi. This should be taken care of by the dealer. I had a file to the consumer relations management a few years ago. I feel they may not help me now. If you call I can let you know about the other major problems I had.”
