ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY CONCERNS ARE THE SPEEDOMETER FAILURE ON MY 203 TAHOE. I SEARCHED THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MANY WEB SITES AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS ON GM AUTOS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE COST TO FIX THIS FAILURE IS $300-$500. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A MAJOR RECALL BY GM MOTORS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER INTERMITTENTLY QUITS WORKING. YOU CAN BE DRIVING ALONG AT 60 MPH AND 50 MILES LATER, THE SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE TO 0 WHILE YOU ARE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. IF YOU STOP, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND GET OUT OF THE CAR, THEN RESTART THE CAR, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL WORK AGAIN FOR A LITTLE WAYS. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE, SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED INCORRECT SPEED AND SLOWLY STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED THE CHEVROLET DEALER, AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG, AND TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $500.00 TO FIX IT. I ASKED THEM ABOUT RECALLS SINCE MY BROTHER HAD THE SAME VEHICLE AND IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. I HAD IT FIXED LAST WEEK AND WAS CHARGED $500.00. AK

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
THE SERVICE TIRE MONITOR WARNING DISPLAYED FREQUENTLY AND REPORTSED THAT A TIRE PRESSURE READING WAS UNAVAILABLE. THIS HAPPENED SINCE DAY 1. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE, THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED, AND AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT HAS BEEN PERFORMED. TWO YEARS LATER, AFTER AT LEAST 5 ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, IT STILL EXISTED. THISWAS A MAJOR ANNOYANCE AS EACH TIME THE MONITOR WARING DISPLAYED IT CAUSED YOU TO INSPECT THE TIRES , AND CHECK PRESSURES TO ENSURE PROPER INFLATION, ESPECIALLY SINCE TIRES WERE MADE BY FIRESTONE. *AK

ON MARCH 20. 2007 I RECIEVED A LETTER FROM ONSTAR TELLING ME THAT A SAFETY FEATURE THAT I PURCHASED NEW WITH MY 2002 CHEVROLET TAHOE WILL NOT BE OPERABLE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2007. I WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE ONSTAR SYSTEM TO CALL 911 AUTOMATICALLY IN CASE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ABOUT 2 MILLION OWNERS OF GM CARS THAT WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE BEGUN WORKING ERRATICLY AT AROUN 43,000 MILES AND SINCE QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. MY DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM IS COMMON BET NOT A RECALL. THIS SEEMS ODD BEING THAT THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS OF THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE Z71 AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 07/2005 WITH ROUGHLY 25,000 MILES. AS OF 10/2006 MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING ERRATIC WHEREIN IT WASN'T GIVING THE CORRECT SPEED OF MY VEHICLE. IT HAS SINCE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND AM SEEKING ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING THE PART TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM AS I SEE WHILE BEING ON A FORUM (HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE) THAT AMONGST THE HUNDREDS AND POSSIBLY THOUSANDS ON THIS WEBSITE ARE INDICATING THEIR DISSATISFACTION WITH CHEVROLET/GM AND THEIR LACK OF ASSISTANCE IN REMEDYING THIS PROBLEM. IT'S NOT JUST ONE SPECIFIC MAKE, BUT APPARENTLY WILL ALL MAKES RANGING FROM 2002 TO 2007. I WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT CHEVROLET/GM LISTEN TO THEIR CONSUMERS AND REMEDY THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY OR THEY WILL SURELY RECEIVE A THRASHING FROM THE CONSUMER BY NO LONGER PURCHASING THEIR VEHICLES. THE PRICE TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM RANGES FROM $550 TO $600 DEPENDING ON WHICH DEALER YOU CONTACT TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE. THIS IS SURELY A NOMINAL AMOUNT TO A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY, YET WOULD MEAN A GREAT DEAL TO THEIR CONSUMERS. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AT INTERSECTION WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE ABS SOUNDED AS IF IT HAD ENGAGED BUT MY WHEELS DID NOT STOP. I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND FORTUNATELY NOTHING WAS COMING AND THEREFORE NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. I REVIEWED THE NHTSA WEBSITE TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND THAT CAMPAIGN NUMBER 05V379000 COVERS THIS PROBLEM AND THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED TO REMOVE CORROSION FROM THE SPEED SENSORS AND APPLY RUST INHIBITOR. I CONTACTED APPLE CHEVROLET IN YORK, PA AND ON 2/28/07, THEY FOUND THE THAT MY WHEEL SPEED SENSORS HAD EXCESSIVE RUST BUILD UP. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. I WAS CHARGED $241.65 FOR THESE REPAIRS AND I FEEL THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. HOW CAN OER 1.3 MILLION VEHICLES MADE BETWEEN 1999 AND 2002 BE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED? *JB
