THE ABS IS MALFUNCTIONING ON MY 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE. DURING AN INTERNET SEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEM MATCHES THAT FOUND IN CAMPAIGN #05V379000, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE, AND POSSIBLY MANY OTHERS, SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TAHOE. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS CORRECTLY ONLY HALF OF THE TIME. IT SOMETIMES TELLS ME I HAVE A FULL TANK AND THEN WHEN YOU RESTART THE TRUCK IT SHOWS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. NOW TODAY THE SPEEDOMETER WAS SHOWING 120 AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. WE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOWS 20 MPH. THIS IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. PLEASE HELP ME AND EVERY OTHER TAHOE OWNER WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR

TIRES
MY SON WAS DRIVING ON I-74 NORTH OF INDIANAPOLIS AT THE POSTED HIGHWAY SPEED OF 70 MPH WHEN THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ON OUR CHEVY TAHOE DEFLATED. THE TIRE WAS A KELLY SAFARI - 265/75/16. THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON WHY THE TIRE SUDDENLY WENT FLAT, SUCH AS A ROAD HAZARD OR A NAIL IN THE TIRE. GOODYEAR CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS UNRESPONSIVE WHEN I CALLED THEM. MY TIRE DEALER, TIRE DISCOUNTERS, GAVE ME $60 CREDIT TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF FOUR NEW TIRES SINCE I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE REMAINING THREE TIRES. THE KELLY SUFARI TIRE HAD APPROXIMATELY 30 THOUSAND MILES (OVER ONE HALF THE ORIGINAL TREADWEAR WAS REMAINING AT THE TIME OF THE DEFLATION). THE TIRE WAS A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND THE OTHER THREE WERE STILL IN GOOD CONDITION. MY SON WAS ABLE TO CONTROL OUR TAHOE AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF I-74 WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GOODYEAR TIRE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THE LACK OF CONCERN EXHIBITED BY GOODYEAR'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I HOPE THIS DEFLATION PROBLEM GETS RECORDED AND THE NHTSA FOLLOWS UP WITH GOODYEAR. I SEE I WAS NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE A BLOW-OUT DEFLATION PROBLEM WITH A KELLY SAFARI TIRE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHICH ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALER FOR SERVICE. HE WAS NOT EXPERIENCING ANY FAILURES AT THE TIME THE NOTICE WAS RECEIVED. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER, THE SPEEDOMETER, HEAT CONTROL, FUEL GAUGE DIAL, AND OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS FAILED. THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED A HIGHER SPEED THAN WHAT WAS ACTUALLY BEING DRIVEN. AT STARTUP, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND THEN LATER REGISTER 120 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE DEALER ADVISED HER TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE REQUIREMENT; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $400 FOR THE PART ALONE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,323 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

MY 2004 CHEVY TAHOE WITH 102,000 MILES HAS SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE THAT SUDDENLY BECOMES ERRATIC WHILE DRIVING AFTER 30 MINUTES AT 50-60 MPH. IT WILL RESET TO NORMAL AFTER A FEW ENGINE STARTS AND SHUTS DOWN. I HEAR THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM TRUCKS OF THIS ERA. ISN'T THIS A SAFETY HAZARD? IS THERE A RECALL?*TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 TAHOE IS READING INCORRECTLY. THE OTHER DAY I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT MY SPEED AND THE GAUGE WAS READING 120MPH. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT WHEN I CAME TO S A STOP; THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INDICATING 60MPH. IT HAS BEEN 3 DAYS SINCE THIS HAPPENED AND IT STILL GIVES THE SAME FALSE READINGS. *TR

ON OCTOBER 11, 2008, THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE FAILED. SOMETIMES THE NEEDLE MOVES, BUT IT IS COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. THIS FAILURE OCCURS EVERYTIME I START THE ENGINE. WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, I CAN NEVER BE SURE IF I AM TRAVELING AT THE CORRECT RATE OF SPEED. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED YET AS THE COST IS EXTREMELY HIGH. *TR
