CHEVY SUBURBAN 2004 DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER. THE PART IS DEFECTIVE, BUT THE DEALER WANTS $500 TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE AGAIN. IT IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD WITH THE WRONG SPEED READOUT. GM SHOULD OWE UP TO THE PROBLEM, FIX THE PART/VEHICLES IN THE NAME OF SAFETY. THIS WILL BE MY LAST GM IF THEY FAIL TO AMEND THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE OUT. I HAVE READ MANY ENTRIES ON A WEBSITE THAT THIS WA S AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET TAHOES., AND THE PRICE TO GET IT FIXED RANGED FROM $400 TO $1000. THAT WAS A BIT TO EXPENSIVE. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL . THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. *AK
