Speedometer went wiggy
When I accelerated my 2004 from a stop the speedometer indicator went all the way around to the 180mph mark and then went back to the correct speed and worked fine. I happened twice that day and then has been working fine. What's up with this?

Can't you take a hint? Your car wants to go for a run.
 If it only happened during a single time that the engine was on, I wouldn't worry about it. Occasionally a computer glitch will surface and cause false readings. They'll usually disappear if the car is "rebooted".

Would this be a chevy truck or SUV? There was a lawsuit over the switec stepper motors used in GM dashboards 2000-2008ish. The dealership will replace the dash for free if it's a confirmed failure.

Sounds like the cluster wigged out or went into a test mode.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
