Instrument cluster failure on 2003 chevy Tahoe. Speedometer failure. Speed registers 60-80 mph faster than actual speed. Chevrolet is aware of problem and has a "program" to replace on vehicles up to 80k miles only (increased from previous 70k miles). This replacement should apply to all affected Tahoes, regardless of mileage, as it could present a safety hazard and certainly presents a vehicle inspection problem. The speed reading problem occurs daily, with each drive.

I have a 2003 chevy Tahoe and the gas gauge stopped working. The dealership says I have to change the cluster which is bad, this will cost $500. It is well known that there are problems with the cluster on these vehicles, I even received a letter from gm offering a replacement if it failed before 70k miles, at the time I had 80k miles and had no problem with the cluster, however it did fail at 98k miles. If they know there is a problem shouldn't they fix it without limitations on mileage. I also have a steering column shaft that needs to be changed, this will cost $250. I have already changed it, the dealership says that there were many issues with this part. The first fix was to change the shaft, which they did, then the second answer to the problem was to grease the shaft and then when that did not resolve their issues the current answer is to change the shaft again. Keep in mind this was their series of solutions to this issue on multiple vehicles, it is a known problem and now I have to pay to fix it.

I own a 2003 chevy Tahoe. I noticed in the fall of 2004 that my speedometer was beginning to be wrong - I would be running at 1,900 rpm, which for my vehicle is about 65 mph, but the speedometer would only be showing 40 mph. I took the Tahoe into my dealers service dept where they told me that the speedometer cluster was bad and would have to be replaced. I had an extended warranty, so this was not a problem. A new cluster was replaced on 12/6/04 when the Tahoe had 40,000. I now have over 108,000 miles on it and the replacement speedometer is now doing the same things the old one did. The other night (3/29/08) I was driving home at 1,900 rpm on the tach and the speedometer needle was sitting on 0 mph - now I know I wasn't standing still on the highway! I have heard about many many other chevy owners with vehicles around the same year as mine having the exact same problem with their speedometers. When is gm going to admit there is a problem and issue a recall so people aren't required to pay $300-$700 (depending upon dealer info) to replace their faulty speedometers. This is a very dangerous problem.

2003 Chevrolet Tahoe instrument cluster failure causing speedometer to not function properly.

Speedometer on 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe gives incorrect reading. Rpm gauge also fails to provide accurate readings. Contacted local Chevrolet dealership who told me they weren't aware of the issue and wanted hundreds of dollars to repair even though this is a known issue with gmac and obviously a very dangerous issue.

Gauges in instrument cluster are failing. Speedometer is jerky if it works at all. Oil pressure is pegged all the way to the right. Engine temp is max. Dealership wants to charge over $500 to fix. Checked internet many others have the same problem.

Speedometer and oil pressure gauge failure on my 2003 chev Tahoe. Chev has issued a limited scope recall with limitations to mileage or years. If there is a problem with this part, especially a speedometer it should be recalled and replaced.

Speedometer failure on a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe: with approximately 50,000 miles, the speedometer became highly erratic and eventually quit working all together, but not before I had been pulled over for speeding. Luckily, the office dismissed the event after explaining the situation. I was told this is a common issue with this generation of Tahoes, suburbans, and trucks, and would like to include my complaint about the gauge motor failure with the other one.

Gauge cluster has failed in the vehicle, does not read speed correctly, oil pressure or engine coolant temp.

Very well documented via internet: speedometer and fuel gauges failed to work. The speedometer will stick at a random point and then add the speed traveling , and this results in the speed not being accurately displayed. The problem has been ongoing for over 2 years starting with the gas gauge showing fuel remaining but the tank being empty. Very unsafe and costly known problem by gm and most owners.
