“At 71,200 miles the speedometer on my yukon xl went out. I called the local Gmc dealer regarding issue. I was advised that if I had serviced my vehicle with them they could have possibly made an exception. I was given the 1800# to call. After calling the 1800#, I was told they would investigate the matter. In two weeks I was notified that Gmc would be unable to help me with this matter because they had already helped me enough with the shaft that had been lubricated several times at no cost to me. …”
