In aug 2008 my speedometer started acting improperly. It would work off and on. Then eventually it stopped working all together. I was ok driving on highway because the tachometer was still working. Just recently the tac stopped also. This has to be a safety issue and should be recalled. I am just worried that i pay $600 to get it fixed and it happens again. *tr

Instrument panel malfunctions by sticking while driving and not returning to zero when the car is turned off. In order to get the speedometer to zero out you have to turn the car on and off until the needle drops to zero. Other times the instrument panel fails to register any values. I called chevrolet customer assistance center they referred me to the dealership which wants to charge me $ 500 for the part and an…

Owner of 2004 chevrolet tahoe. The speedometer began to act erraticly recently and became completely unreliable. After checking local gm dealership, service person said that since the car is out of warranty, the expense would be between 500 to 600 dollars and take three to four days to repair. This seemed difficult for me to believe, so i phoned another gm dealership, and they said that the repair would be between…

The speedometer on my vehicle failed--received notification from gm about a possibility of this type of failure a week earlier- the failure occurred during my commute(60+mi) while using cruise control--although i didn't have a negative experience, i believe this needs to be highlighted as a potential. I can't understand why this isn't an immediate recall versus a "notification". *tr

I own a 2004 chevrolet tahoe that has had a malfunctioning speedometer since 65,000 miles. I now have 71,500 miles on the vehicle. Chevrolet has sent out a "special provision by gm" letter, not a recall that states they will fix the problem if the vehicle is 7 year or 70,000 old. That is not even the national average on mileage. I have to fix this out of my pocket! What can be done? *tr

The speedometer randomly moves from say 30 mph to 120 when you have not increased your speed. When you stop it stays at 120 until you restart the vehicle then it will only come down maybe to 80 when you are standing still. I called the dealer and they want 600 dollars to fix it. I have researched this site and others and have found many people with the same problem. I believe chevrolet should take care of this…
