Instrument Cluster/Panel
My speedometer randomly quits working. Sometimes it says my car is going 0 mph when it is clearly in motion. Other times it says it is going 70 mph when it is in park. The trouble is i have to guess what speed i really am going and hope i am correct. This has been happening since october of 2008. Currently i've not had it fixed because my mechanic was unable to diagnose the problem because it didn't happen when it…

I bought a 2003 chevy tahoe in aug 2003. The speedometer started going haywire in the past month around 60-65000 miles. It sticks, jumps, and reads sometimes 30 mph off. It will even erad 10mph when stopped. I called chevy and they want to charge me 400+ to have it fixed. This is dangerous and gmc should take care of the problem. I received a speeding ticket a few months ago, saying i was speeding and i explained to…

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…

Speedometer registers inaccurate and erratic readings (70 mph at complete stop; 120 mph with movement, sometimes 0 mph with driving). This occurs suddenly and without warning, intermittently, but is becoming more frequent. It has not been repaired at this time due to expense quoted by dealership. Also noted are inaccurate oil pressure readings (pegged pressure readings in high zone). It is not reliably affected by…

My speedometer will become jerky and show various random speeds (commonly 0 mph and 30 mph) while i am driving. This can be very dangerous when the speedometer reads a speed that is nowhere close to the actual speed that the vehicle is moving. (additionally, my fuel gauge sticks at various times.) initially, this occurred only a couple of times, but has now become more frequent. I have contacted my local dealer to…

At 75,000 miles of normal driving the speedometer is not correctly registering present speed. Most often excessively high. However an un reliable speedometer is un safe for driving in the mountains as speed entering curves needs to be register correctly for safety. I nearly had a bad accident! Form the numerous complaints and law suites at the following site chevrolet needs to do something! Please, please do…

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…

The oil pressure gauge on my 2003 tahoe recently started climbing and reading extremely excessive oil pressure and not resetting after the key is turned off. I have found the same problem to be recurring on my same model vehicle with other consumers. After conversations with my local dealer and with gm's customer service they reluctantly replaced my instrument cluster free of charge. Thankfully it saved me hundreds…

The speedometer/gauge on my 2003 chevy tahoe is malfunctioning. Chevy is aware of the problem and issued a recall. I went to a chevy dealer today for repair and the service person explained that my vin is a part of the recall, but i do not qualify because the recall is for 8 years or 70,000 miles. I have 74,000 miles and i'm expected to pay $650 for this defect. It is my understanding that malfunctioning gauges can…

Today my instrument panel on my 2003 tahoe did not work when i turned on the truck. I did not know how fast i was going nor if i had any gas in the vehicle. I looked up on the internet and found a quick fix for it. Someone had suggested pulling out the dic (driver instrument cluster) fuse, start the truck, turn truck off, then put the fuse back in and restart the truck again. It reset everything. Thank goodness it…

I own a 2003 chevy tahoe and the oil pressure gauge started to malfunction. Sometimes it goes way past the numbers that are on the gauge. Also just recently, my speedometer began to malfunction as well. I was at a complete stop and it read 25 mph. I had to turn the truck on and off several times to reset it. I have spoken to several tahoe owners and apparently this has also happened to them. Apparently this is not…

2003 tahoe, approx. 86,600 miles. The speedometer needle no longer moves when i drive, it is stuck in the fully down position. I am going over 120mph sitting in my driveway. Dealer wanted $300-350 to fix this problem because it is over the 70,000 miles that they are supposedly warranting this through now. Even though it is not even a 5 year old vehicle. *tr

The instrument cluster on my 2003 tahoe is going bad. The cost of repair is arounf ~400.00. I received a letter form gm saying they would extend the warranty for 70k miles. They have known of this issue for a couple of years and are just now offering to cover it after most vehicles are over the 70 k mile limit. I called gm to see if they could work with me on this. They instructed me to get a diagnostic ($60) and…
