Instrument Cluster/Panel
My instrument cluster went bad while driving. I took it to chevrolet and was told there was a recall on the part but only up to 7years or 70, 000 miles. From what i know, gm was well aware that they made defective instrument cluster and don't want to replace them. I have 6 children to transport back and forth from school and practice, my speedometer not working is unsafe for my children. *tr

2003 tahoe speedometer displays inaccurate value. Do not know at what speed vehicle is traveling. Doesn't seem to be any common denominator as to what speed it displays and you don't know when it is accurate or not. This is scary! Internet search reports a on going problem. What does it take to make this addressed and corrected? *tr

Approx. Every other time i drive my 2003 chevy tahoe the speedometer misreads. It is usually off by around 20-30 mph under the actual speed of the vehicle. The oil pressure is also affected by dropping to almost zero. I have heard there is a recall for 2005 silverado with similar problems however i have not found a recall for my vehicle. Thank you. *tr

Instrument cluster failure on 2003 chevy tahoe. Speedometer failure. Speed registers 60-80 mph faster than actual speed. Chevrolet is aware of problem and has a "program" to replace on vehicles up to 80k miles only (increased from previous 70k miles). This replacement should apply to all affected tahoes, regardless of mileage, as it could present a safety hazard and certainly presents a vehicle inspection problem.…

If they…
