I have a 2004 chevrolet tahoe lt. The speedometer has been acting very erratic - reading 35, 45, 75, etc. While stopped and 125+ while traveling at 50 mph... I have read hundreds of similar complaints and my chevrolet dealer immediately knew what the problem was just by giving a brief description and wants to replace the entire instrument cluster for $400+ this is outrageous - so much money was spent on these…

The speedometer works fine sometimes but some other times it starts off at about 35 mph and counts up from there. It is hard to figure out what speed you are going and i am really afraid of getting a speeding ticket or going to slow and causing an accident. I think this needs to be looked into so maybe we can prevent future major problems. Also a number of friends have had the same problems with gauges in their…

As my 2004 tahoe approached 43k miles the speedometer began behaving erratically. Within 2-3k miles it stopped working completely. Now it only will rise as high as 20-30 mph. *jb

Speedometer will malfunction while driving. It will read 35 mph when i am doing at least 70 mph. Other times it will not register anything at all. I have read many posts on the internet that many other gm full size trucks/suvs are having the same issue. This is definitely not safe and when you are trying to exit a highway ramp at the posted speed you can not due to the malfunctioning speedometer. Need a recall to…

While driving my 2004 tahoe down the highway my oil pressure indicator dropped to zero. I pulled over and shut it off. I checked the oil, which was fine, and re-started the vehicle. The pressure returned to normal. Two days later the same thing happened except this time i did not get oil pressure back. After having it towed to a shop, needless to say it worked again. At this time i was advised that the oil sending…

My speedometer has gone faulty. It reads 55+ mph at a stop. It is less than 3 years old and 4,000 miles past the 36,000 mile warranty. This is a very dangerous problem and it seems as if i am not the only customer with this problem. Please take a look at this website.

Speedometer registers 120 mph at all times. Dealer wanted $700+ to replace instrument cluster. Pulled cluster myself in ten minutes and sent to instrument repair company in sacramento, ca who replaced all the lights and stepper motors for $155.*jb

At about 60,000 miles the speedometer began acting erratically so you couldn't tell how fast you were going. It consider this dangerous. The speedometer is now usually reading simply about 120 mph at all times. Still no recall on this item that i know of. After checking a little bit on the internet, it is obvious that this is an overwhelmingly large issue for gm owners. *jb

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet tahoe. While driving 55 mph the speedometer would stick at a particular speed. After twenty minutes of driving, the speedometer would fall and remain at zero. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle. The failure mileage was 75,000 and the current mileage was 86,000. The vin was unavailable. Updated 02-01-08 *bf updated 02/01/08 *tr

Speedometer stuck at 120 mph at all times. There is no way to tell how fast vehicle is traveling at any time. Tahoe just reached 36000 miles this weekend. What a shame since this is the only vehicle we have to transport our 8-month old in. *nm

While driving our 2004 chevy tahoe the speedometer acts erratically going anywhere from -0- to -120-. We feel that this is a very scary feeling when driving either on the freeway or driving in town. We feel that the chevrolet corporation should do a major recall on this problem. It is a huge problem. If chevrolet takes pride in there vehicles they will do a recall on this problem and fix it for all of us who drive…

Speedometer started sticking. Sometimes it fixes itself. Other times it stops and won't go below 30. Today it wouldn't go lower than 60. Also, it will be buried and you have no idea how fast you are going. *jb

I have an 2004 tahoe with 37,000 miles on it and the speedometer does not register the correct speed. When sitting at a complete stop the speedometer will still register that i am still moving. Have spoken to the gm dealership, and they were aware that there was a problem, but gm will not address it. Looking at other complaints on the web. There were hundreds of gm owners with this same safety related problems…

My 2004 chevy tahoe has a defective speedometer. At 37,500 miles, conveniently just after warranty expired, the speedometer needle started jumping erratically, and then a few days later, it quit working completely. I have been informed by 2 local dealers in the s.f. Bay area that it will cost approx $600-900 to repair, and i will be without my vehicle for up to a week. Unfortunately, i cannot be without it b/c i…
