general problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe - part 2

My 2003 Tahoe's speedometer failed less than 5 years after I bought the vehicle. The car has 95000 miles on it. Chevrolet recognizes that they have a problem with speedometer failures. My speedometer will show 60 mph at a standstill and show various speeds while moving. Chevrolet issued an extended warranty for vehicles experiencing this problem but cut off coverage at 70000 miles or 7 years. This item should be a safety related recall regardless of mileage since it is an obvious defect that they will only partially admit to.

I have a 2003 chevy Tahoe. The speedometer isn't registering the correct speed or sometimes doesn't register at all. The gauge is sticking at various numbers on the speedometer.

My speedometer does not work on my 2003 Tahoe.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving approximately 65 mph, the speedometer and fuel gauges displayed inaccurate readings. The failures occurred intermittently and without warning. There was a recall on the odometer and the contact recently received a recall notice after the vehicle's mileage exceeded 70,000. The contact was displeased to know that the vehicle was excluded due to the excessive mileage. The VIN and recall number were unknown. The failure mileage was 65,000 and current mileage was 126,000.

Odometer sticking - unhappy chevy owner - recurring event I purchased my 2003 chevy Tahoe a year ago and just within the past few weeks my odometer has been sticking at 120. Of course I have not driven that fast ever and this is hard to accomplish when truck is in neutral (yet it reads 120. . )eventually, it resets itself and that takes a couple days. I have barely registered 10,000 miles of the 54,000 that are on vehicle and can not understand why this could be happening. I did call the dealer and of course just in conversation ball park figure would be around $500 plus no transportation for at least 3 - 5 days. I decided to take my 2003 chevy Tahoe to a independent mechanic for a less expensive review. It was determined that their is a problem that can not be fixed by an unauthorized party. So know I have this truck that is not safe to drive by nc state due to faulty odometer. Will follow up with further action with manufacturer and whoever else. Noticed other complaints and wanted to make sure everyone knows that there is a problem with the 2003 chevy Tahoe. Very unhappy 1st time chevy owner.

Own a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe with 43939 miles as of this email. Yesterday, we noticed the speedometer no longer registers how fast the car is going. While traveling on the free-way the speedometer registers 0 mph.

Faulty speedometer on my 2000 Tahoe. Reads over a 100 mph in park.

At 43,000 miles my speedometer got stuck and will not work. At park it reads 80 or 20. I bought my Tahoe new with only 10 miles and now it is 3 years old. I called a dealer and he said that should not have happen to a new vehicle. When I am driving down the highway I look and it says that I am going 60 then a second later it reads that I am going 120 and it is stuck. This is not safe for anyone and I have heard other people complain that there Tahoe did the same thing.

We have problems with the running lights, dash gauges not working properly. Now the engines is starting to idle roughly and make noises. We got a notice letting us know that there was a recall on a part that runs all of the dash gauges. Some kind of computer thing. I went into the dealership and they told me my car had too many miles to honor the recall and I would have to pay for it!. Lets see, we wait long enough for miles to get past 100,000 miles and then they don't have to fix all the vehicles. I can see another Tahoe coming down the road and one of the running lights is always out. We have a 2003 Tahoe. The dash coating started pealing and they wouldn't cover it being replaced. I had less than 60,000 miles at that time. They said that the extended warranty didn't cover this. The Tahoe is shifting real rough at times and will speed up on it's own at times. This shifting happens at least once a day. The gauges don't work at all. (fuel,oil pressure, and sometimes the rpm won't work at all).

Since January of 2006, the speedometer has failed numerous times. While standing still it will register any speed above 30 or while traveling at highway speeds it will register 0 mph. The tachometer has failed to work three times and the gas gauge has registered half a tank while it takes 20 gallons to fill the 25 gallon tank. Last year I had the intermediate steering shaft replaced before the warranty ran out because it was clunking. It is now starting to clunk again!! the vehicle has 50,000 miles on it. I just received a warning for speeding, 54 in a 45mph because I can"t tell how fast I am going!!!!!!.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving approximately 55 mph on normal road conditions, the speedometer intermittently displayed inaccurate readings. The failure would occur without warning. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but was not repaired. Through research, the contact discovered a warranty extension coverage and notified the manufacturer. The vehicle was excluded from the warranty because the odometer exceeded the mileage limitation of 70,000. The failure mileage was 26,000 and current mileage was 86,000.

This is now the 2nd winter season that the hvac blower motor pulses between high and low when the outside temperature is below approximately 35 degrees. This seems to continue until the engine has warmed up then stops. The dealer has been unable to find a cause.

While parked lights pulse bright then dim, this includes all dash lights and headlight and tail lights.

Front passenger seat heater comes on by itself. Blinker sensor will tell me that the blinker is on when it isn't. Cd/radio lights blink on and off. Rear passenger window rolls down by itself. Fuel guage does not work properly and will often say it's full when it's empty or it's empty when it's full or half a tank when it is empty. Fuel injectors keep clogging up with carbon. Transmission failure from stop and delay acceleration while driving.
