Our speedometer does not tell us how fast we are going all the time. Most of the time it is fine but occasionally it will register a different speed than what we are traveling. Sometimes it says we are going slower than what we are actually going and sometimes it says we are going faster than we are going.

My instrument cluster went bad while driving. I took it to Chevrolet and was told there was a recall on the part but only up to 7years or 70, 000 miles. From what I know, gm was well aware that they made defective instrument cluster and don't want to replace them. I have 6 children to transport back and forth from school and practice, my speedometer not working is unsafe for my children.

While driving speedometer stays at 0. Instrument cluster is malfunctioning.

Last October, while driving my 2004 chevy Tahoe lt, the tachometer on the instrument cluster failed after an acceleration event and never functioned again. Since it was the tachometer element, it did not raise any significant concern, only disappointment. However, on 3/15/2013, the analog oil pressure gauge needle went all the way to the right ( indicating failure, I assume) and then on 3/30/2013, the speedometer began to function on an intermittent basis and continues to do so. After reading some of the 341 complaints on line, I cannot believe gm gets a pass on a critical safety/legal component like the cluster group and no recall has been issued. In general, what authority does the NHTSA have in coercing auto manufacturers to issue recalls in the u. S. ?.

Speedometer stopped working or will display false speeds from 0 while driving on highway to 120 while driving on surface streets. While researching this problem I have found many other 2005 chevy Tahoe owners experiencing the same problem.

2007 Chevrolet Tahoe. Consumer states after driving on the highway for 15 minutes or so the tire low pressure indicator light on the instrument panel came on the consumer stated before he took the vehicle to the dealer, the air was checked several times, with no indication of a problem. The consumer then took the vehicle to the dealer, where they replaced the sensor in the right rear tire. However, the problem continued. The consumer went to another dealer, where they ran a test and found no problem. After filing a complaint, the consumer went back to the second dealer where they found a lock problem. They replaced and reprogrammed the rcdlr. The consumer stated the problem is ongoing. Also, the doors locked on their own on a number of occasions.

I have a 2005 Tahoe which I bought new. About 5-6 months ago my speedometer went out. I didn't have the funds at the time and let it go even though I felt it was a safety issue. I received no letter from gm that they were having this problem until today. I brought my car into my local goodyear place and they were going to charge me hundreds of dollars to fix it. My sister, who had worked at gm, had me call the Chevrolet dealership jack burford in richmond, kentucky. They said they'd give me a new cluster but that I would have to pay for the labor ($130), I then called gn at 800-222-1020 and talked with a woman named[xxx]. She told me that they did not have a recall on that issue but a "special policy". Also, it was good only for cars with less than 80,000 miles. Mine has 97,000. They're still going to fix it though but it makes me upset that they didn't notify me about this problem and that I have to pay for the labor. The policy apparently went into effect in 2005, when I purchased the vehicle and expires in July, 2012. I wonder if other people have had this problem and, if so, since this is potentially a safety issue, should the cars be recalled? thank you.

Instrumentation problem. Speedometer stepper motor does not reset to zero. This results in the inaccurate reporting of vehicle speed. This is a safety hazard. This issue is widely reported throughout the internet. We lent a ton of money to gm and they need to be called to the carpet to remedy these issues promptly.

2003 Tahoe has a defective instrument panel cluster - gm refuses to repair under their "special coverage" because that coverage expired at 80,000 miles. My vehicle is setup with a tow package allowing you to tow up to 7,000 pounds. It is critically important that you know your speed when towing a trailer or you can easily loose control. My spedomoter is currently stuck at 10 miles per hour. Gm has diagnosed and stated the instrument cluster is defective. Gm does not consider a spedometer to be a safety device, but because they promote this vehicle with a "tow package" speed becomes a much more critical factor in vehicle operation.

While driving through town the speedometer on my Tahoe was saying I was going 90 mph. After cycling the key on and off several times it was working correctly, then while traveling down the interstate the speedometer quit working completely being stuck on 67 mph no matter what speed I was going, causing me to get flipped off several times by fellow drivers. Eventually the needle started moving again but said I was going 120 when I was going 60 on my gps.

Speedometer not working correctly. Shows 50 mph when stopped and 120 mph when on city streets. Was working without any issues and then today it is incorrect. I have searched the internet and noticed this is becoming widespread.

I have a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe with 68,863 miles. The speedometer starting reading 20 miles an hour yesterday when parked. When driving the speedometer is erratic and reads approximately 20-30 miles an hour faster than I believe I am traveling. I have researched and found many reports of this problem. This is a severe safety issue and this defect is a problem the manufacturer should repair at no charge. Recall this vehicle.

2004 Tahoe: speedometer reads crazy during long trip. Have read about this issue and now it has happened to my Tahoe. It's now a permanent issue and I rely on my gps device to monitor my speed. I'm waiting for the other cluster instruments to fail and then I will have to replace the parts on all. It's pathetic that gm will not recall this as a serious safety issue. It's not like you can drive without this gauge - will gm pay my tickets?.

2004 chevy Tahoe speedometer sticks at various speed levels and intermittently will not return to zero when the vehicle is not in motion. Speedometer can stick at excessive speeds indicated on the cluster, this had intermittently effected the cruise control operation. This was a known issue by gm, no recall was provided. My vehicle is over 80,000 (82,500) miles. Issue started with my vehicle at about 78k, but was not brought in by me to gm because there was not an announced recall. Gm decided to replace the clusters for customers who had the defect occur between 70 and 80k, with a charge for the labor, not the part. Given the fact this is a safety issue (speed indication and intermittent cruise control, gm should provide full replacement, parts and labor.

The letter stated that the manufacturer extended the warranty to seven years from the date that the vehicle was in service or 70,000 miles.

My 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe has a problem with the speedometer not giving accurate readings. It will jump from 0 to 120 mph and stick somewhere in between or give a false mph reading or just go to zero and register nothing. The problem seems prevalent with all Tahoes. Gm needs to have a recall and fix this dangerous situation instead of charging everybody $500-$900 when they know they have a serious defect. This problem has been ongoing now for the last 2 years.

2004 chevy Tahoe (108k miles) speedometer was stuck at 70 mph, then slowly decreased down to zero. Over the next 3 weeks it became more sporadic and now it only reads "0" all the time.

Speedometer on 2003 chevy Tahoe defective - while driving on the freeway on my way home from work in moderate traffic, I look down and my speedo is displaying over 120mph. This caught me off-guard and I stepped on the brakes, almost getting rear-ended. I called the dealer and they stated that there is a service bulletin out that would cover this safety issue. However since my vehicle has 85k it does not qualify. Upon searching on the internet, this appears to be a major safety issue and it is evident this is a known problem for many years. Dealer wants to charge over $750-$1000 to fix this safety problem! something needs to done!.

My 2005 chevy Tahoe has developed a problem with the speedometer. The gauge reads 20-30 mph faster than it should and then it eventually pegs out at 120 mph. It will return to 0 after the switch is cycled on/off but it's impossible to know your speed when it's malfunctioning.

My speedometer on my 2005 chevy Tahoe z71 4x4 stops working intermittently shows we are going way slower or 0 when we are driving.

I have a 2004 chevy Tahoe. My instrument panel is messed up. My speedometer does not work, it flutters or pegs out all the way. Now my oil gauge is bottom out. In researching the internet, I see that this is a common problem and that chevy will only fix it if you have less than 70,000 miles. I have over 100,000 miles on my car and I consider it a safety hazard. 98% of the time I do not know how fast I am really going. I heard that a recall will not be issued because it is not a "safety hazard". Well I disagree, because people are not always aware of their fuel level, how fast/slow they are really driving.

2003 Tahoe speedometer displays inaccurate value. Do not know at what speed vehicle is traveling. Doesn't seem to be any common denominator as to what speed it displays and you don't know when it is accurate or not. This is scary! internet search reports a on going problem. What does it take to make this addressed and corrected?.

Approx. Every other time I drive my 2003 chevy Tahoe the speedometer misreads. It is usually off by around 20-30 mph under the actual speed of the vehicle. The oil pressure is also affected by dropping to almost zero. I have heard there is a recall for 2005 silverado with similar problems however I have not found a recall for my vehicle. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving approximately 45 mph, the contact observed the speedometer displayed incorrect reading, regardless of the speed being traveled. In addition, failure occurred with the fuel gauge which resulted in an inaccurate reading at any given fuel level capacity. The vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunction at this time. The failure mileage was unknown.

2005 Chevrolet Tahoe. Speedometer failure. The speedometer is stuck at 20 mph. Personal research has led me to believe that Chevrolet has acknowledged a defect in drive motors within the instrument panel from a parts manufacturer in 10 models produced from 2003 to 2007. This is a definite safety hazard that Chevrolet needs to address via a recall of all effected models.
