ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE AND WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TODAY, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WAS SUDDENLY READING "0"...WHILE I WAS AT CRUISING SPEED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TACHOMETER RACED UP TO 6000 RPM'S. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND MY SPEED WAS NOW 0 BUT MY RPM'S WERE SHOWING ALMOST 5000. AFTER TURNING OFF MY IGNITION FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED WORKING AGAIN BUT IT WAS VERY JUMPY. THE TACH IS NOW READING 3500 WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH BY GM AND CHEVROLET. I'VE LITERALLY READ OVER 400 ONLINE POSTINGS IN THE LAST HOUR FROM PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON GM AND CHEVROLET TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITIES. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 80000 MILES. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT WHEN DRIVING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN START MOVING AGAIN THE SPEEDOMETER WILL STAY AT ZERO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE SPEEDOMETER TO WORK AGAIN WAS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, THEN LET IT SIT FOR A MOMENT AND RESTART. THIS PROBLEM MADE THE CONTACT RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT WORKING PROPERLY, THE OIL GAUGE WASINCORRECT AS WELL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

SEATS
MID YEAR IN 2006 THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT IN MY TAHOE STARTED TO SLIDE ON ITS TRACK ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES, BACK AND FORTH. THEN ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE SEAT SLIDES BACK AND FORTH ABOUT 4 INCHES. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING, BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE SEAT SLIDES BACK WITH A BANG, AND IF YOU COME TO A QUICK STOP, THE SEATS SLING YOU FORWARD. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHICH TOLD ME TO CONTACT CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE. I EXPLAINED TO THE I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE WAY THEY ASSEMBLED THE SEATS. IF IT HAPPENED IN JUST ONE SEAT I WOULD AGREE, IT IS NOT A DEFECT, BUT THIS HAS GRADUALLY HAPPENED TO BOTH SEATS. AND THERE ARE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE. THE DEALERSHIP DENIES THIS IS A DEFECT, AND THEREFORE CHEVROLET IS DENYING THIS IS A DEFECT. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, EQUIPMENT
IN FEBRUARY 2004, I PURCHASED A USED 2002 CHEVROLET. IN JUNE 2004 THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND WAS REPLACED BY MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER. AT THE TIME OF THE REPAIR THE VEHICLE HAD 52, 000 MILES. ON FEBRUARY 15, 2007 THE SAME PART FAILED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 102,000 MILES. THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE IS A NON-WEAR ITEM. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET TO INQUIRE ABOUT A RECALL ON THIS ITEM. NO RECALL EXIST HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUE CONCERNING THIS ITEM. I WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET AND THE REPAIR FACILITY THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE NOW HAS MORE THAN 100,000 MILES I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ITEM AT MY EXPENSE. *JB

I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE. I VISITED THE DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2005 WITH A FAILING SPEEDOMETER. IT SEEMED TO STICK ON COLD MORNINGS AND RESULTED IN HIGH READINGS. THE MOVEMENT WAS VERY JERKY AND THERE ALSO SEEMED TO BE A RHYTHMIC CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE CLUSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS TIME. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM, BUT 'RESET' THE CLUSTER AT NO CHARGE. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO BE WORKING AGAIN EXCEPT UNDER VERY COLD CONDITIONS. IT IS NOW 2/13/2007 AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS STICKING AGAIN. IT READS ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATE THAT THE CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (AT A COST OF $500+). THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, SO I AM CHECKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER SINCE THIS IS A PROVEN, PRE-EXISTING CONDITION PER MY VISIT IN 2005. I SHOULD HAVE AN ANSWER ON THAT ON 2/16/2007. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND ON A SINGLE SITE, TOPIX.NET, I FOUND OVER 400 ENTRIES OF CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM ON GMC AND CHEVY TRUCKS AND SUVS. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION (NOT BEING ABLE TO GAUGE SPEED)!*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I OWN A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH 57,000 MILES. LAST WEEK MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING EROTICALLY. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH, SECONDS LATER I CHECKED MY SPEEDOMETER AND IT WAS READING 94 MPH. AT FIRST I WAS SHOCKED, BUT I REALIZED I WAS STILL FOLLOWING THE SAME CARS IN RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO BE TRAVELING OVER 90. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT 0 MPH. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN EROTIC. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL REGISTER 30 WHEN I'M TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OR NOT REGISTER AT ALL. I AM NOT AS CONCERNED WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE I CAN GAUGE MY SPEED OFF THE TACHOMETER. MY SIXTEEN-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OR MY WIFE HOWEVER IS ANOTHER STORY. IF THEY ARE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 OR 60 AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS ONLY REGISTERING 30, THEY MIGHT INCREASE THEIR SPEED IN ERROR AND TRAVEL MUCH FASTER WHICH COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS CAN HAVE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES IF ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY WITH SPEED LIMITED CURVES. I CANNOT BELIEVE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS LOGGED ABOUT THIS CHEVROLET IS NOT RECALLING, OR REPAIRING THE DEFECTIVE GAUGE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 35-YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION. *NM
