general problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe

I bought my 2003 chevy Tahoe used and as is at a dealership for $10,000. Yes, I've been robbed. The truck is in great looking condition. Has a little bit of superficial dings and a couple dents but overall exterior is great. Interior isn't shabby. Has wear on the driver's seat but not bad. The first thing that happened, I was on my way to work at 4 in the morning, turned on right blinker to change lanes, about blinded the guy in front of me with high beam lights. I thought I had bumped the switch, I took the right to get off at my exit I was more mindful. Definitely not a me thing. The high beam came on with the right blinker. So, the next thing. Cd player runs continuously without a disc in. I cannot put a disc in. There may be discs already in there, it is a 6 disc changer, but it will not play. The radio has a mind of its own. Plays what it wants at anytime its on. My husband drove it, tried to adjust the driver's seat and all it did was growl at him. It doesn't move except forward and back. My speedometer had a glitch one time. I was driving at 35mph and it showed 60mph. I turned it off, then back on, hasn't done that again. My heater works but it's difficult to change the individual temp settings. Almost as if the push buttons are worn inside or have a bad connection. The air conditioner only works when I'm on the freeway and not in stop and go traffic. The first time I turned on the ac, it blew all hot air for longer than 10 minutes. Halfway home I turned it on again but kept the button in off setting, I have cold air. There is a loud popping underneath when I turn left. Also, dropped into 4h driving down the highway at 65mph. Thought I was going to die. I have to drive in auto all wheel because the buttons are messed up. In 2h or 4h I get 4l. It is a mess. The dash is confused. 4 wheel does not go in easily, it bangs when it goes in and comes out. It really isn't safe but I was soaked on the price, I am female and first purchase. Should have bought a Ford.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration power. The vehicle was diagnosed by the contact and it was found that the throttle position sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.

My acceleration pedal engaged and ran thru center block fence. No airbag on either side. . . . Thanks a lot. . . . . Driver.

Speedometer says I'm going 110 mph and I've got the engine off. I cannot safety drive my vehicle not know how fast I'm driving. This must be recalled by gm!.

Speedometer seems to be working fine, then gradually goes to 0. When car is restarted, works fine again for short period of time. This is a safety hazard.

The speedometer on mu Tahoe will say that I doing 60 and the car is in park. Overtime the problem corrects itself and then it happens again. It is something that I feel is not anyhting that I have done to the vehicle. It happens approximately every 2 months. The incident date is the most recent date that it has happened.

Speedometer is acting up. It rests on 40 mph,and shows that I am reaching 110 mph. When I am only going 60 mph,and vehicle only has 45,000 miles,I consider this a major safety issue on a 2003 vehicle.

Speedometer quit working shows no speed or wrong speed all of the time.

2003 chevyrolettaho. Speedometer not working correctly. At times the speedometer will register speeds that are between 20-70 mph in excess of actual speed, and at others will register speeds that are 10-40mph below actual speed. Other times the speedometer appeared to read correctly. Operation is jerky at all positions. The actual speed was unkown since this instrument cannot be trusted. This has been happening off and on every couple of days for 5 months.

Speedometer erratic, typically reads 20 mph over actual speed. Other times, does not function at all.

Driving on interstate when speedometer began to act erratically. Slowly but surely speedometer went from cruising speed up through the 120 mark on the vehicle and remained fully pegged in the black portion of the gauge. All driving now requires drivers judgment on speed since speedometer is inoperative. Speedometer can settle as low at 40 mph, but quickly sky rockets again once driving commences. No corrective actions could fix the speedometer malfunction. Not knowing the speed of a vehicle presents an inherently dangerous situation and screams negligence and liability. Force chevy to fix this before someone dies and they learn the hard way.

I have a 2003 chevy Tahoe, as I was driving on the highway I noticed that my speedometer was acting eractic, with the needle stating that I was going 120 mph down to 0 mph within seconds. I immediately stopped on the highway, and noticed that the needle stuck at 70 mph while I was idle. Now the needle in my speedometer is stuck at 120 mph.

- the contact called regarding the 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the speedometer would work for approximately 30 minutes into the trip, and after that it would show less mph than what he was traveling ,eventually going down to zero. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by a repair shop. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000, the current mileage was 58000. The failure occurred 10 times.

The Chevrolet Tahoe speedometer has been broken and I could not get any assistance from Chevrolet customer service. They will not acknowledge any problems with the speedometer.

At a stop consumer's vehicle lunged forward, hitting the vehicle in front. Consumer pulled over, and had the vehicle towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
