We own a 2003 chevrolet tahoe with approximately 85,00 miles. For at least a year we have been having problems with our cruise control. On several occasions following the disengagement of the cruise control, the speedometer will either continue to rise (up to 120 mph+) or fall down to 0 no matter how fast the vehicle is moving. The only way to get the speedometer working properly again is to pull over, put the car…

We own a 2003 chevrolet tahoe that was purchased in december 2002. As of november 2007, it has 82000 miles. A few days ago the speedometer suddenly stopped working while driving on highway. About 45 minutes later, after a stop, it began to work again. At the same time, voltage gauge on instrument cluster was pegged all the way to the right giving false reading of 19 v. Later, that gauge corrected itself only to act…

The odometer on my 2003 chevy tahoe is acting erratically, especially on cold days it will stick to 40 mph even while standing still. It has this week been stuck at the 120 mph mark. Even while using the cruise control, the needle would bounce around. I have seen hundreds of complaints online for this same issue. It is dangerous to not know the speed limit that you are doing, i believe that since there are so many…

Speedometer on 2003 chevrolet tahoe gives incorrect reading. Rpm gauge also fails to provide accurate readings. Contacted local chevrolet dealership who told me they weren't aware of the issue and wanted hundreds of dollars to repair even though this is a known issue with gmac and obviously a very dangerous issue. *tr

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…

I have a 2003 chevrolet tahoe with 58,000 miles and the speedometer has started malfunctioning. It will appear to be jumping at times and also not moving at all. I could be traveling at 60 mph and the speedometer will say i'm going 25 mph, making the situation a safety hazard and needless to say a speeding ticket waiting to happen.*jb

Starting in february, the speedometer acts erratically, sometimes reading higher than speed traveled, sometimes reading slower than speed traveled or being stuck all together. The vehicle only had around 43,000 miles on it when this started and only has 46,200 now. Right now the speedometer is stuck on 52 whether i am sitting still or traveling 70 mph. *tr

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…
