Our speedometer does not tell us how fast we are going all the time. Most of the time it is fine but occasionally it will register a different speed than what we are traveling. Sometimes it says we are going slower than what we are actually going and sometimes it says we are going faster than we are going. *tr

I have a 2005 tahoe which i bought new. About 5-6 months ago my speedometer went out. I didn't have the funds at the time and let it go even though i felt it was a safety issue. I received no letter from gm that they were having this problem until today. I brought my car into my local goodyear place and they were going to charge me hundreds of dollars to fix it. My sister, who had worked at gm, had me call the…

The speedometer would not decrease speed, and but would register an increase, and consequently would not reflect actual speed. I could correct problem by repeatedly starting vehicle, until eventually it just would no longer register a change in speed at all. Now i have no idea what speed my vehicle is traveling. *tr

The speedometer only works intermittently. It will seem to be reporting the correct speed then changes to a speed we could not be going. Usually under reporting the correct speed. We will be going between 50 and 60 mph and it will read 30. This has been going on for several years and we have tried to compensate by using the tachometer but lately i don't feel i can trust it either. The repair is between $400 and $500…

I own a 2005 chevy tahoe. The speedometer stops working in the middle of the road and starts showing wrong speeds. This is a serious security issue as you suddenly lost in the middle of traffic because you do not know how fast you are traveling. I was checking online and there are thousands of such complaints. I think dot should seriously look into this issue as a safety issue. *tr

While driving through town the speedometer on my tahoe was saying i was going 90 mph. After cycling the key on and off several times it was working correctly, then while traveling down the interstate the speedometer quit working completely being stuck on 67 mph no matter what speed i was going, causing me to get flipped off several times by fellow drivers. Eventually the needle started moving again but said i was…

Speedometer, tachometer, and oil pressure gauge on my 2005 chevy tahoe stopped working. All of them began to operate sporadically before they stopped completely stopped working. Not only is it extremely dangerous for the speedometer to not work correctly, as it should, but it also leaves me to bear the burden of a financial loss of speeding tickets or any accidents that were caused by its failure. First, the oil…

My 2005 chevy tahoe has developed a problem with the speedometer. The gauge reads 20-30 mph faster than it should and then it eventually pegs out at 120 mph. It will return to 0 after the switch is cycled on/off but it's impossible to know your speed when it's malfunctioning. *tr

2005 chevrolet tahoe. Speedometer failure. The speedometer is stuck at 20 mph. Personal research has led me to believe that chevrolet has acknowledged a defect in drive motors within the instrument panel from a parts manufacturer in 10 models produced from 2003 to 2007. This is a definite safety hazard that chevrolet needs to address via a recall of all effected models. *tr

I own a 2005 chevrolet tahoe under 70k miles. My speedometer quit working. I found out that gm issued a specials program to fix the instrument panel on 03, 04 and some 05 tahoes if they are under 70k miles. My vin number was outside the lot of approved vin's. I contacted gm customer service and was led to believe they would provide some coverage for my repairs if the gm mechanic could verify that the problem with my…

I own a 2005 gmc pick up and a 2005 chevy tahoe and the speed odometer just goes crazy in both vehicles. They go from 50 to 0 to 85 and back to 0 . The local dealer say they can't find anything wrong but i keep reading that this is getting very common in these vehicles. Is there some way to do a recall before someone gets hurt or killed. *tr

My husband and i purchased a brand new 2005 chevrolet tahoe. In the month of march 2009 my speedometer started to read i was going 120 miles per hr but of course that was not the speed i was going. We took our tahoe back to the servco dealership because i had googled and read that there was a speedometer problem and gm was fixing the problem. Well the dealership said that the vin # for the cluster was not one that…

I have a 2005 chevy tahoe. I have had nothing but problems with the instrument cluster. The fuel gauge works correctly only half of the time. It sometimes tells me i have a full tank and then when you restart the truck it shows empty and the low fuel light comes on. Now today the speedometer was showing 120 at approximately 65 mph. We turned off the vehicle and it shows 20 mph. This is unsafe and needs to be…
