ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS A SPEEDOMETER THAT IS NON-WORKING. I CONTACTED A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ABOUT REPAIR AND IT WILL COST $500.00. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MULTIPLE PARTIES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA REQUIRE CHEVROLET TO PLACE A RECALL ON THIS REPAIR WITH SO MANY REQUESTS OUT THERE. AS STATED BY OTHERS, THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE AUTOMOBILE AND WITH MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHEVROLET. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVY TAHOE NO LONGER WORKS CORRECTLY. ON 9-21-07, I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS RESTING AT 0, AS I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAD APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES ON MY TAHOE AT THAT TIME. SINCE THEN, THERE ARE DAYS THAT IT WORKS PROPERLY, DAYS THAT IT SITS AT 0, AND THEN THERE ARE DAYS THAT IT REGISTERS 30 MPH WHILE I AM DOING CLOSER TO 70 OR IT WILL REGISTER 90 MPH WHILE I AM ONLY DOING 60. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY VEHICLE IS A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH 60,000 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THEY MOVE TO PLACES WHICH ARE COMPLETELY OFF THE CHART. AS AN EXAMPLE, THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY BEGAN TO READ THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 120 MPH WHEN IT WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH. THE OIL GAUGE ALSO READS HIGHER THAN THE NUMBERS GO AND THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEGUN TO GIVE THE IMPROPER READING; WHEN I FILL IT UP WITH A FULL TANK IT SAYS I ONLY HAVE HALF. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR DUE TO THE POTENTIAL COST. IT SEEMS THAT IT WOULD BE AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND IT'S PROBABLY A DEFECT ANYWAY. *JB

DRIVING VEHICLE, LOOKED TO CHECK MY SPEED AND SHOWED I WAS DRIVING AROUND 30 MPH I KNOW I WAS DRIVING FASTER THAN THAT BECAUSE MY RPM'S SHOWED 2000. THEN SPEEDOMETER CHANGED TO 110, THEN CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE BACK AND FORTH. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON 6-8 MONTHS NOW, TO NO AVAIL DEALERSHIP STATED IN THE PAST NO RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. MILEAGE OF ORIGINAL INCIDENT 60,000-65,000 MILES. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD MY CHEVY TAHOE FOR JUST OVER 2-1/2 YEARS. DURING THIS TIME, MY TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE. THE SAME PART ALSO BROKE PRIOR TO MY OWNING THE VEHICLE. THREE TIMES THE SAME PART HAS FAILED YET MY VEHICLE HAS LITTLE OVER 55,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 40,000 THE LAST TIME IT WAS REPAIRED. I HAVE SOUGHT ASSISTANCE FROM GM TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED BUT WAS FLAT DENIED ANY TYPE OF SUPPORT. I FEEL THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GM, NOT THE UNSUSPECTING OWNER. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM
MY 2007 TAHOE HAS HAD A TRANSMISSION/SLIP/BUMPING PROBLEM AND IT WAS FIRST NOTICED BY ME ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I GOT IT BACK IN APRIL. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE THE MORE THAT I DRIVE IT. IT HAS 5900 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP ONCE FOR THE PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT TAKEN CARE OF AND NOW IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF YEARS AGO IN THE OLDER VERSIONS. I'M NOT AT ALL HAPPY ABOUT THIS. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PURCHASED BRAND NEW 2001 CHEVY TAHOE AND WITHIN FIRST 3 MONTHS NOTICED OIL LEVEL WAS LOWER THAN EXPECTED. BEGAN 'OIL CONSUMPTION' TEST WITH TRACY DEALERSHIP THAT EXTENDED INTO 2004 UNTIL THEY FINALLY AGREED 2 TEAR DOWN THE ENGINE...ALL 3 YEARS WAS ONGOING OIL LOSS WITHIN THE ENGINE! THEY ONLY WENT 2 THE CYLINDER HEADS DESPITE SEVERAL REQUESTS BY EXPERT MECHANIC'S ADVICE 2 GO FURTHER INTO THE PISTON LEVEL. TRACY CHEVROLET REPORTED THEIR FINDINGS AS 'PARTS MISSING FROM CYLINDER HEADS FROM ORIGINAL ENGINE ASSEMBLY'. GM'S CEO PROMISED 2 REPLACE MY ENGINE IF THE OIL CONSUMPTION WASN'T FIXED. WITHIN 1 MONTH OF THAT REPAIR, OIL LOSS CONTINUED. ANOTHER 'OIL CONSUMPTION' TEST SCENARIO WAS ESTABLISHED AND ANOTHER 3 YEARS PASSED WITH ME REPORTING 2 THEM EVERY 500 MILES FOR OIL LEVEL CHECKS. AGAIN, 3 YEARS PASSED BEFORE THEY FINALLY DECIDED 2 TEAR THE ENGINE DOWN AGAIN. (3/7/07). THE CYLINDER HEADS WERE FINE SO GM RECOMMENDED THAT THEY GO DOWN 2 THE PISTON LEVEL (SOUND FAMILIAR??) WHERE THEY FOUND ANOTHER MISSING PART FROM ORIGINAL FACTORY ASSEMBLY! (OIL CONTROL RINGS) THEY TRIED 2 HAVE ME ACCEPT THEY WERE DOING ME A FAVOR AS I WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAD 2 REMIND THEM THAT I REPORTED THIS 2 THEM WELL WITHIN MY 1ST YEAR, THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR DELAYING APPROPRIATE REPAIRS, AND NOW, THIS ENGINE WAS PROBABLY MISSING OTHER PARTS. I WAS HOLDING THEM 2 THEIR ORIGINAL PROMISE OF REPLACING MY ENGINE. THE CEO'S OFFICE HAS IT WELL DOCUMENTED YET THEY ARE GOING BACK ON THEIR PROMISE AND WANT ME 2 JUST KEEP AN UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE ENGINE. THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT OTHER VITAL PARTS AREN'T MISSING AND I DOUBT ANY OF THEM WOULD FEEL SAFE WITH THIS ENGINE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED 2 OTHER ENGINE PARTS DUE 2 THIS EXTENSIVE PROLONGED OIL LOSS? THEY REFUSE 2 PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE, INFORMATION, OR MY REPLACEMENT ENGINE. THEY ARE OFFERING ME INSTEAD 3 FREE OIL CHANGES FOR 6 YEARS OF WORRY, INCONVENIENCE, AND ENDURING THEIR COMPLACENCY WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

STEERING, STEERING:COLUMN
STEERING SHAFT - CLUNKING NOISE AND CAN FEEL VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL. HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR MECHANICS TO PACK WITH GREASE RATHER THEN FIX THE PROBLEM. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IS WILL EVENTUALLY GO COMPLETELY OUT AND WILL HAVE TO BE TOTALLY REPLACED. I HAVE A 2001 TAHOE AND A 2003 GMC SIERRA. PROBLEM ON BOTH VEHICLES. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPLACE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

BOUGHT A USED 2004 CHEVY TAHOE WITH 73,000 MILES ON JULY 5TH 2007, WENT ON VACATION 2 WEEKS LATER AND THE SPEEDOMETER GOT STUCK AT 60 MILES PER HOUR AND KNOW IS VERY ERRATIC AND GETS STUCK AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS ALL THE TIME. ALSO FUEL GAGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL IS BACKWARDS ON THE GAGE SO NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS ACTUALLY IN THE VEHICLE. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED ODOMETER JUMPS TO 90 AND WE WERE ALMOST STOPPED. THEN IT STAYED ON 0 FOR A WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, THEN JUST JUMPS AROUND. IT IS NEVER ACCURATE. CHECKED WITH DEALER AND THEY REPORTED TO US THAT THIS HAS BEEN A REAL PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE. THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAGE CLUSTER GOING OUT AND THERE HAVE BEEN LOTS OF THEM RECENTLY COMING IN WITH THIS PROBLEM. AND THE REPAIR COST IS BETWEEN $450.00 - 500.00 . I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTION AND THEY SHOULD REPAIR THESE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE TO VEHICLE OWNERS BECAUSE THIS IS UNSAFE AND IT SHOULD NOT BE MALFUNCTIONING LIKE THIS. ITS NOT JUST A FEW VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM ITS ALOT!! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE, I WAS DRIVING UP TO A RED LIGHT AND STOPPED COMPLETELY. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE MY TRUCK MADE A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. IT WOULD GO IN REVERSE AND A LOWER GEAR BUT NOT IN REGULAR DRIVE. I ONLY HAVE 21,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS GIVEN OUT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE BREAKING DOWN THE TRANSMISSION TO SEE WHAT EXACTLY THE PROBLEM IS. *JB
