Several members in my family who owns GMC are having problems with the odometer. The following vehicles and year are:
GMC-Envoy 2005
GMC-Silverdo 2005
GMC -Denali - 2004. The odometer does not work proper. Its register 120 mph sitting still. Was there a recall or has anyone else submit a problem with their odometer.
