ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS MALFUNCTIONED. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 27,559 MILES ON IT. LOOKS LIKE A KNOWN PROBLEM BY GM AS THEY SETTLED A LAWSUIT WITH DELPHI AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED AT NO COST. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. AT JUST OVER 50K MILES, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STOPPED RETURNING TO ZERO SPEED. SOMETIMES IT'S PINNED AT OVER 120 MPH NO MATTER THE SPEED (EVEN AT A STOP). IT'S NOT EXACTLY COMFORTABLE DRIVING I70 DURING WINTER CONDITIONS NOT KNOWING YOUR SPEED. WOULD I BE NEGLIGENT FOR NOT FIXING...OR CHEVROLET? WHAT IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I HAD REAL ESTATE BUYERS IN MY CAR. JUST 3 YEARS AGO, I INVESTED ALMOST 40K IN THIS AUTOMOBILE AND NOW THEY WANT ANOTHER $600 TO REPAIR. WHAT HAPPENED TO SAFETY FIRST OR THE CONSUMER ALWAYS BEING RIGHT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A 2005 TAHOE WITH 55,600 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. IT GETS STUCK USUALLY AROUND THE 60 MPH MARK THEN IT THINKS THAT 60 MPH IS ACTUALLY 0 MPH. SO WHEN YOU START DRIVING IT GOES PAST THE 120MPH MARK AND STAYS. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE 2003 2004 AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A 2005. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
FUEL GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY INACCURATE. THE CAR HAS A 26 GALLON TANK, AFTER FILLING UP AND DRIVING SOMETIMES 50 MILES THE GAS LIGHT WILL COME ON TELLING ME I AM OUT OF GAS. I HAVE SIT ON LEVEL SURFACES WATCHING THE GAUGE GO FROM FULL DOWN TO COMPLETELY EMPTY SEVERAL TIMES. THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY LEAVE A PERSON STRANDED AS THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND I LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT WAS BURIED PAST 120MPH EVEN THOUGH I WAS ONLY GOING AROUND 30. IT ALSO WAS STUCK ON 80MPH AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS EVERYTIME WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES STAYS AT 0, SOMETIMES PEGGED, SOMETIMES IN BETWEEN...ALL INDEPENDENT OF SPEED. FOUND THIS WAS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND DEALER STATES GM IS COVERING REPAIRS FOR 03-04, BUT NOT YET 05 AND I BELIEVE TO ONLY 70K MILES. MY 05 IS AT 67K MILES AND I HAVE REQUESTED GOODWILL FROM GM. THEY SHOULD BE COVERING THIS REPAIR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AND EXTREMELY COMMON OCCURRENCE DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING. THERE IS ALSO A SMELL OF PLASTIC OR ANOTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENT BURNING/MELTING. NO FIRE YET. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER, TIRES
THE SPEEDOMETER IS BROKEN. AFTER REGISTERING WRONG SPEEDS FOR A DAY (SOMETIMES 0 MPH), IT FINALLY STUCK ON 120MPH. IT NO LONGER WORKS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR HELP WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND WITH A PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH INACCURATE TIRE PRESSURE READINGS AND AN INOPERABLE SECOND ROW (MIDDLE) SEAT BELT. THE DEALER SAID SORRY IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT THE SALESPERSON SAID SHE WOULD CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING SHE COULD DO AND CALL ME BACK. I NEVER HEARD FROM HER. I CAN APPRECIATE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR REPAIRS. ON A TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE, I EXPECTED TO REPLACE MY TIRES, NOT MY SEAT BELT AND SPEEDOMETER. AT THIS POINT, I DO NOT INTEND TO BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT!! I ALSO DO NOT INTEND TO PURCHASE FROM JAMES WOOD IN DENTON OR DECATUR, TEXAS. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE SPEEDOMETER WAS SHOWING 40 MPH WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 60+. THEN IT WENT TO ZERO. I HAVE TO PAY FOR TO REPAIR AND I THINK GM KNOWS OF THIS DEFECT SINCE THEY HAVE RECALLED 2003-2004 VEHICLES. I'M NOT SURE I WILL EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK JANUARY 8TH OF 2008 AND I LOOKED DOWN TO SET MY CRUISE CONTROL AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS REGISTERING OVER 120 MPH. I HAD TO GUESS HOW FAST I WAS GOING AND WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE SERVICE REP SAID IT WOULD BE COVERED AND WHEN I WENT TO GET IT THE NEXT DAY SAID I OWED THEM A $100 DEDUCTIBLE BECAUSE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE HAS 53,000 MILES ON IT AND I WOULDN'T THINK A SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO OUT THAT SOON IF AT ALL AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR USING FAULTY PARTS. I ASKED THE REP IF MY SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AGAIN WOULD I HAVE TO PAY AGAIN AND HE SAID THAT IT HAD A 12 MONTH OR 12 THOUSAND MILE WARRANTY ON IT. SO IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND EVERYONE IN EVERY STATE SHOULD HAVE THEIR VEHICLES RECALLED AND FIXED WITH DYSFUNCTIONAL PARTS. I PERSONALLY NOR WILL MY FAMILY BUY A GM PRODUCT AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS AND THEIR SERVICE. *TR

AT APPROX. 58,000 MILES MY RECENTLY PURCHASED (1 WEEK AGO FROM A CHEVROLET DEALER) MY 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE'S SPEEDOMETER STARTED MOVING ERRATICALLY AND STICKING. YOU CAN BE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW ANYWHERE FROM 65-120+ MPH. IT CAN BE SET BACK DOWN TO ZERO IF YOU CONTINUALLY START THE ENGINE OVER AND OVER WHICH WILL ALLOW IT TO DROP ABOUT 10 MPH EACH TIME. *TR
