SPEEDOMETER WILL MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL READ 35 MPH WHEN I AM DOING AT LEAST 70 MPH. OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT REGISTER ANYTHING AT ALL. I HAVE READ MANY POSTS ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY OTHER GM FULL SIZE TRUCKS/SUVS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE AND WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO EXIT A HIGHWAY RAMP AT THE POSTED SPEED YOU CAN NOT DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER. NEED A RECALL TO REPAIR THESE SPEEDOMETERS BEFORE SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OCCUR. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:FOG LIGHTS
DRIVER SIDE FOG LAMP CAME FREE ON THE FRONT BUMPER, DANGLING BY THE ELECTRICAL CABLE IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE. FAULTY ENGINEERING REGARDING THE PLACEMENT AND SECURE OF THE FOG LAMP ONTO THE FRONT BUMPER. THE LARGE FOG LAMP EVENTUALLY CAME FREE AND OBVIOUSLY WENT UNDER THE TIRE, AS IT DANGLED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE TIRE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, POTENTIALLY CAUSING A PUNCTURED TIRE AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. ADDITIONALLY, THE FOG LAMP HAD POTENTIAL TO INJURE OTHERS DRIVING BEHIND ME, IMPACTING THEIR WINDSHIELD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, AS IT CLEARED MY VEHICLE AFTER DETACHMENT. *JB

MY SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE FAULTY. IT READS 55+ MPH AT A STOP. IT IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND 4,000 MILES PAST THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS AS IF I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS WEBSITE.

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2004 CHEVY TAHOE THE SPEEDOMETER ACTS ERRATICALLY GOING ANYWHERE FROM -0- TO -120-. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY SCARY FEELING WHEN DRIVING EITHER ON THE FREEWAY OR DRIVING IN TOWN. WE FEEL THAT THE CHEVROLET CORPORATION SHOULD DO A MAJOR RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM. IF CHEVROLET TAKES PRIDE IN THERE VEHICLES THEY WILL DO A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT FOR ALL OF US WHO DRIVE THERE VEHICLES. *JB

ONE DAY WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 70 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS ACTING STRANGE. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS JERKY. ONCE I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE SPEEDOMETER WENT PASS 0 MPH. THEN WHEN I GOT GOING AGAIN ON CITY STREETS THE SPEEDOMETER WAS OFF BY 20 MPH. EVENTUALLY THE SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING ON THAT TRIP. EVER SINCE THAT DAY THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN JERKY AND SOMETIMES REPORTING THE WRONG SPEED OR NOT WORKING AT ALL. *JB

2004 CHEVY TAHOE SPEEDOMETER AND ASSOCIATED GAUGES READ ERRATIC. ONGOING PROBLEM, SPEEDOMETER NEVER GOES BELOW 80 MPH, EVEN WHEN STANDING STILL. DON'T WANT TO PAY THE SUGGESTED $500-600 TO FIX WHEN GM SHOULD PAY FOR IT. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A CONSIDERABLE SAFETY RISK. *NM

SPEEDOMETER INTERMITTENTLY INDICATES VEHICLE'S SPEED WELL BELOW ACTUAL SPEED. PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER VEHICLE HAS RUN FOR 2 TO 3 HOURS. ON INTERSTATE, RUNNING WITH NORMAL TRAFFIC AT APPROX. 70 MPH, SPEEDOMETER WILL INDICATE 35 TO 40 MPH OR NOT WORK AT ALL. CRUISE CONTROL ALSO FAILS TO WORK WHEN SPEEDOMETER BECOMES ERRATIC. *NM

SPEEDOMETER INDICATED MUCH HIGHER SPEED THAN INDICATED (ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO OVER 120 MILES PER HOUR WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED, OR OVER 120 MPH WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 70 MPH ACTUAL. WAS RESET BY REPEATED RESTARTING THE ENGINE (WHICH LOWERRED THE MINIMUM INDICATED SPEED BY 7-10 MPH PER START). DROVE 120 MILES WITH GPS CONFIRMING SPEEDOMETER'S INDICATED SPEED, BUT I'M NOT COMFORTABLE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. 2004 CHEVY TAHOE LT, APPROX 30,000 MILES. NEVER INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT, NO BODY/MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON OCTOBER 27TH, THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVY TAHOE BEGAN TO STOP WORKING. MY VEHICLE HAS 49K MILES ON IT. THE SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK AT VARIOUS POINTS AND WILL PEG OUT AT OVER 120. ON MANY OCCASIONS, IT WILL NOT COME OFF OF ZERO. IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, IT WILL DROP THE NEEDLE ABOUT 5 MPH, BUT WILL NEVER ZERO ITSELF BACK OUT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (BILL HEARD CHEVROLET, COLLIERVILLE, TN) THE DAY THAT IT OCCURRED. I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $600-$700 TO REPAIR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOT. THIS IS NOT JUST HAPPENING TO ME. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO HAVE THIS INSTRUMENT PANEL REPAIRED. PEOPLE EXPECT RELIABILITY WHEN THEY INVEST THIS TYPE OF MONEY INTO A VEHICLE AND THEY ARE NOT GETTING IT FROM GM OR IT'S PARTS. *NM
