I was driving down the road all of a sudden the speedometer registered 120 mph, i pulled over to the side of the road and stopped the vehicle, the speedometer was still registering 50 mph. Since that time the speedometer registers various speeds, from 140 to 0 i am not sure what speed i am actually going, i can be parked with the speedometer on 140 or driving with the speedometer on 0. *tr

Last october, while driving my 2004 chevy tahoe lt, the tachometer on the instrument cluster failed after an acceleration event and never functioned again. Since it was the tachometer element, it did not raise any significant concern, only disappointment. However, on 3/15/2013, the analog oil pressure gauge needle went all the way to the right ( indicating failure, i assume) and then on 3/30/2013, the speedometer…

First problem is that the instrument cluster stops and starts working at random times not knowing how fast you're going. Chevy said they were familiar with the problem but would only fix it up to 80,000 miles. Not sure what kind of recall dose that. Second problem is when i got a flat tire, i nor the auto roadside assistance man could get the spare tire down. The car stranded until i took the entire wheel off the…

Instrumentation problem. Speedometer stepper motor does not reset to zero. This results in the inaccurate reporting of vehicle speed. This is a safety hazard. This issue is widely reported throughout the internet. We lent a ton of money to gm and they need to be called to the carpet to remedy these issues promptly. *tr

2004 tahoe: speedometer reads crazy during long trip. Have read about this issue and now it has happened to my tahoe. It's now a permanent issue and i rely on my gps device to monitor my speed. I'm waiting for the other cluster instruments to fail and then i will have to replace the parts on all. It's pathetic that gm will not recall this as a serious safety issue. It's not like you can drive without this gauge -…

My 2004 chevrolet tahoe has a problem with the speedometer not giving accurate readings. It will jump from 0 to 120 mph and stick somewhere in between or give a false mph reading or just go to zero and register nothing. The problem seems prevalent with all tahoes. Gm needs to have a recall and fix this dangerous situation instead of charging everybody $500-$900 when they know they have a serious defect. This problem…

2004 chevy tahoe (108k miles) speedometer was stuck at 70 mph, then slowly decreased down to zero. Over the next 3 weeks it became more sporadic and now it only reads "0" all the time. Mechanic wanted to charge me $350 to replace the entire instrument cluster. This is a known defect and chevy should take responsibility for it. *tr

I have a 2004 chevy tahoe. My instrument panel is messed up. My speedometer does not work, it flutters or pegs out all the way. Now my oil gauge is bottom out. In researching the internet, i see that this is a common problem and that chevy will only fix it if you have less than 70,000 miles. I have over 100,000 miles on my car and i consider it a safety hazard. 98% of the time i do not know how fast i am really…

I won't be able to get my vehicle into the dealership…

My speedometer has been freezing up and not working properly lately. Sometimes, especially when it's cold out, the speedometer will stay at 0 mph and not even move - once it does get going, it go up, but when i come to a complete stop, it won't go back to 0 - it may stop at 20 or 30. Sometime, the speedometer will even exceed the max speed on the dash and i know i'm not going that fast. This problem seems to be a…
