THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT CONSISTENT IN DETECTING ACTUAL SPEED DRIVEN. SOMETIMES IT WILL READ 40 MPH WHEN I AM ACTUALLY DRIVING 60 MPH. THIS IS DANGEROUS, AS THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN DRIVING AROUND CURBS. GOT A QUOTE FROM DEALER TO REPAIR WHICH WILL BE AROUND $500. MY DAUGHTER OWNS A 2004 TRAILBLAZER AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.*AK

!ST ACCURRENCE JUST OVER 36000 MILES --SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ FASTER BY ABOUT 20 MPH DRIV IVING IT HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIME, S BUT I FOUND IF TURNING KEY ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT FOR A FEW WEEKS . SEEMED WORSE IN COLD AND DAMP WEATHER. NOW, AT 60000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT CORRECT ITSELF AND WAS STUCK AT 25 MPH FASTER THEN WAS TRAVELING ---- DEALER WANTED $500 TO FIX THIS. I SAW WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY AS IT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME . *AK

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TAHOE Z71. THE SPEEDOMETER RECENTLY QUIT WORKING. THE MILEAGE KEEPS ACCUMULATING BUT THE SPEED DOES NOT SHOW. I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THE CHEVY DEALER TELLS ME THE FIX IS ABOUT 200 DOLLARS AND THEY MUST KEEP THE CAR FOR UP TO A WEEK TO SEND THE MODULE BACK TO FACTORY. I CAN ASSUME MOST PEOPLE ARE LIKE ME AND CANNOT DO WITHOUT A CAR FOR A WEEK WHICH MAKES THIS AN ISSUE OF A LOT OF THESE MODELS ON THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY IDEA HOW FAST THEY ARE GOING. IS THERE ANY HISTORY OF THIS ON RECORD OR RECALLS. THANKS RANDY *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TAHOE AND IN NOVEMBER OF 2006 THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING ODD. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE ON A SPEED WHEN I WAS SITTING STILL OTHER TIMES IT WOULD BE AT ZERO WHE I WAS DRIVING AND NOW IT IS STUCK AT ZERO. APPARENTLY, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT FOR THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER GMC VEHICLES IN THIS MODEL YEAR. I CURRENTLY HAVE MY TRUCK IN A SHOP TO GET THIS REPAIRED BUT I WOULD HOPE WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT GMC WOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND INITIATE A RECALL. *TR

AS I HAVE READ IN PRIOR COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED ON THIS WEB SITE, THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY VEHICLE ALSO DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY. I KNOW OF AT LEAST 4 OTHER TAHOE OWNERS, AND 1 3/4 TON Z71 OWNER (ALL 2004 MODELS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND GIVEN WHAT I HAVE PAID FOR MY VEHICLE USED I SIMPLY CANT AFFORD TO PAY THE EXTRA 400 DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT OBVIOUSLY BEGAN DURING MANUFACTURING. (WHY ELSE WOULD MULTIPLE VEHICLES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.) *TR

I HAVE AN 2004 TAHOE WITH 37,000 MILES ON IT AND THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT SPEED. WHEN SITTING AT A COMPLETE STOP THE SPEEDOMETER WILL STILL REGISTER THAT I AM STILL MOVING. HAVE SPOKEN TO THE GM DEALERSHIP, AND THEY WERE AWARE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, BUT GM WILL NOT ADDRESS IT. LOOKING AT OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB. THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF GM OWNERS WITH THIS SAME SAFETY RELATED PROBLEMS COVERING MANY DIFFERENT GM VEHICLES. *AK

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND RECENTLY THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING FUNNY. IT WOULD SHOW I WOULD BE GOING 60 MPH OVER WHAT I WAS ACTUALLY GOING. WHEN PARKED IT WOULD READ 45- 60 MPH. NOW IT STAYS STUCK AT 120 MPH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND TOLD ME THE ENTIRE CLUSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $500. ALSO, SAID THAT IT WOULD BE 90 TO JUST LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. I DID SOME RESEARCH ,AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TO WHOM THIS IS HAPPENING TO. WHAT MADE ME MAD WAS THAT THIS HAPPENED 7500 MILES AFTER MY WARRANTY RAN OUT. *AK

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

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
