All of a sudden the speed odometer jumps to 90 and we were almost stopped. Then it stayed on 0 for a while we were driving, then just jumps around. It is never accurate. Checked with dealer and they reported to us that this has been a real problem with this model of vehicle. They said it was the gage cluster going out and there have been lots of them recently coming in with this problem. And the repair cost is…

Bought a used 2004 chevy tahoe with 73,000 miles on july 5th 2007, went on vacation 2 weeks later and the speedometer got stuck at 60 miles per hour and know is very erratic and gets stuck at different speeds all the time. Also fuel gage does not work at all is backwards on the gage so never know how much gas is actually in the vehicle. *jb

Tachometer & speedometer failed at approx. 75,000 & 80,000 respectively. Speedometer failure presents a safety hazard. Intermittent failure of lights on dashboard system. *tr

The speedometer is not consistent in detecting actual speed driven. Sometimes it will read 40 mph when i am actually driving 60 mph. This is dangerous, as this can cause an accident when driving around curbs. Got a quote from dealer to repair which will be around $500. My daughter owns a 2004 trailblazer and has the same problem.*ak

Speedometer inoperative on 2004 chevrolet tahoe and other 2003 and 2004 chevrolet products. Apparent that a recall should be issued, but has not been. Gm agrees to repair 7 yrs or 70,000 miles which ever comes first. However, they did not notify the customer until 4 and 5 model years later that there is a problem. *tr

2004 z71 chevy tahoe. Speedometer failed at 54,000 miles. The dial hangs at 90 or 120. I took my vehicle to chevy dealership and was informed that there is no fix other then replacing the entire cluster panel. $800 to replace cluster panel. The dealership will not replace defective speedometer for free. Vehicle out of warranty. *tr

Speedometer intermittently quits working. You can be driving along at 60 mph and 50 miles later, the speedometer has gone to 0 while you are traveling down the interstate. If you stop, turn off the engine and get out of the car, then restart the car, the speedometer will work again for a little ways. *jb

I have a 2004 chevrolet tahoe and recently the speedometer started acting funny. It would show i would be going 60 mph over what i was actually going. When parked it would read 45- 60 mph. Now it stays stuck at 120 mph. I called the dealership, and told me the entire cluster would have to be replaced for about $500. Also, said that it would be 90 to just look at the problem. I did some research ,and found that there…

Several months ago i started to notice problems with the speedometer on my 2004 chevy tahoe. It does not register the correct speed sometimes. Seems to be getting worse. There is no specific time or driving condition that this occurs. Last noticed the problem while driving on the turnpike. The speedometer reads 35 when i was actually going over 60. Something really needs to be done about this. I cannot afford to…

2004 chevy tahoe faulty speedometer started occurring in january 2007 as of today 2/14/07 it is inaccurate each time auto is started. Never resets itself. Have not had it repaired as the costs are too expensive for an issue that is clearly a gm problem. This needs to be recalled as there are thousands of people with same issue. *nm
