AROUND 37,000 MILES MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING UP. IT WILL READ ANYTHING FROM 0-120 MPH AT ANY SPEED. THIS HAS BECAME A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE SPEEDOMETER READS 70 MPH, BUT UNTIL YOU PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND GET A SENSE OF YOUR ACTUAL SPEED THAT I REALIZE THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK, AND I REALLY AM TRAVELING CLOSER TO 85 OR 90. GM HAS TOLD ME THAT THE ENTIRE SPEEDOMETER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. A COST OF AROUND $450. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 TAHOE DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR DROPPED TO ZERO. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. I CHECKED THE OIL, WHICH WAS FINE, AND RE-STARTED THE VEHICLE. THE PRESSURE RETURNED TO NORMAL. TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME I DID NOT GET OIL PRESSURE BACK. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A SHOP, NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WORKED AGAIN. AT THIS TIME I WAS ADVISED THAT THE OIL SENDING UNIT MAY BE FAULTY AND PAID TO HAVE IT CHANGED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND FINALLY IT FAILED FOR GOOD. THE REPAIR SHOP VERIFIED THAT THE ENGINE DID HAVE GOOD OIL PRESSURE AND THAT IT WAS AN INDICATING PROBLEM. I FOUND A COMPANY ON-LINE THAT REPAIRED INSTRUMENT PANELS AND CHOSE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE HOME AND REMOVE IT MYSELF TO SEND OFF FOR REPAIR. ON THE WAY HOME, MY SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED AND NOW READS 25 MPH AT A STAND STILL. ONE PROBLEM I CAN UNDERSTAND. TWO PROBLEMS THIS CLOSE TOGETHER TELLS ME THAT THIS INSTRUMENT PANEL IS JUNK. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I HAVE SPENT FOR SUCH POOR QUALITY. I WOULD HOPE THAT GM WILL BACK ITS PRODUCTS AND RE-CALL THESE PANELS OR AT LEAST COVER THE REPAIR COSTS FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WITH INSTRUMENT PANEL PROBLEMS. *NM

STEERING:COLUMN
DEALER INFORMS ME OF PROBLEM WITH STEERING COLUMN. REQUIRES OVER $100 TO FIX. SERVICE REP INDICATES THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS NUMEROUS TIME PER MONTH IN THEIR SHOP. I HAVE FRIENDS WITH LIKE VEHICLES THAT SAY THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WITH THEIR VEHICLES. I POSTPONED SERVICE THIS TIME AS I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN WITH LUBRICANT "FIX" TO EXPECT REPEATED AND CONTINUAL REPETITIONS OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM ALSO WAITING FOR A RECALL TO BE ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS SO PREVALENT. *NM
