    Recently purchased (3 days ago) a 2003 chevrolet tahoe and both my wife and i noticed erratic behavior from speedometer. After much research and another family member with the same problem on a 2004 tahoe, we realized that this was a serious safety issue that an extreme amount of other people were having. The speedometer "sticks" at different points while accelerating or decelerating, i wish to get this issue…

    In nov of 2008 we started having problems with the speedometer. Took it to our dealer and they replaced the ipc and it did not fix the problem, after we got the tahoe back we started having problems with the cruise control as well. The speedometer becomes jerky and if we use the cruise the tahoe speeds up and we have to turn cruise off to stop it from speeding out of control. Also when the speedometer becomes jerky…

    I own a 2003 chevy tahoe. About a year ago my speedometer and fuel gauge stopped working. I received a speeding ticket because the officer said i was going 5 miles over speed limit. I ran out of gas twice. I called alocal gm dealer who gave me an estimate of 500 dollars. He said he knew what it was but wouldn't tell me the problem. I know of at least 4 other gm owners with same problem. I have been unemployed for 8…

In each case the tires were completely destroyed and off the rim. After the second case i chose to have all four tire replaced and prior to actual removal i checked the tire stem on one of the 2 remaining (not new tires)…

    I own a 2003 chevy tahoe. I noticed in the fall of 2004 that my speedometer was beginning to be wrong - i would be running at 1,900 rpm, which for my vehicle is about 65 mph, but the speedometer would only be showing 40 mph. I took the tahoe into my dealers service dept where they told me that the speedometer cluster was bad and would have to be replaced. I had an extended warranty, so this was not a problem. A new…
