My wife reported an issue with here instrument cluster on her 2003 chevy Tahoe in October of this year. The oil pressure, water temp, and speedometer were indicating excessively high readings. When she got home and turned off the vehicle the instruments were still pegged past the values on the displays and the speedometer remained at 45 mph ignition off and in park. The problem would occasionally clear but now remains constant. After researching the issue on the web I found that this is a problem reported by many people. I feel that gm should be made to correct an obvious know problem. Thank-you for you good work.
2003 chevy Tahoe speedometer has been working erratically for the past 12 months. Especially during hot weather, the speed display showed slower than the actual speed. Stopping the car, turning off the ignition and restarting usually fixed the problem. On 10/9/06 the speedometer showed 60 mph when the car was off, and now does not ever fall below 60. Online, I've seen many similar complaints from chevy & GMC customers with the exact same problem. The dealer has not indicated that a problem exists, but a dealer told me that they see many repairs of this type. I am scheduled to have the part replaced in two weeks at my expense (since my vehicle is out of warranty) but would like to know if enough complaints indicate that a recall should be issued.
