2003 CHEVYROLETTAHO. SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. AT TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL REGISTER SPEEDS THAT ARE BETWEEN 20-70 MPH IN EXCESS OF ACTUAL SPEED, AND AT OTHERS WILL REGISTER SPEEDS THAT ARE 10-40MPH BELOW ACTUAL SPEED. OTHER TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER APPEARED TO READ CORRECTLY. OPERATION IS JERKY AT ALL POSITIONS. THE ACTUAL SPEED WAS UNKOWN SINCE THIS INSTRUMENT CANNOT BE TRUSTED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS FOR 5 MONTHS.*AK

SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE, THEN GRADUALLY GOES TO 0. WHEN CAR IS RESTARTED, WORKS FINE AGAIN FOR SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *AK

THE CHEVROLET TAHOE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN BROKEN AND I COULD NOT GET ANY ASSISTANCE FROM CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER.*AK

SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC, TYPICALLY READS 20 MPH OVER ACTUAL SPEED. OTHER TIMES, DOES NOT FUNCTION AT ALL.*AK

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A NEW 2003 CHEVY TAHOE ON MARCH 17, 2003 FROM A CHEVROLET DEALER IN NOVATO, CALIFORNIA. APPROXIMATELY 10 MONTHS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN REGISTERING 60 MPH WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING. THIS EVENTUALLY CHANGED TO 120 MPH DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE SPEEDOMETER NEVER REGISTERED ANYTHING BELOW 120 MPH THEREAFTER. WE FINALLY HAD TO GET IT REPAIRED AS WE NEVER HAD ANY IDEA AT WHAT SPEED THE AUTOMOBILE WAS ACTUALLY TRAVELING. WE TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WE WERE ADVISED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS COST $359.88. WHEN I ASKED TO SEE THE BROKEN SPEEDOMETER I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE AS IT HAD TO BE EXCHANGED FOR THE REPLACEMENT. THIS CAR HAD ONLY 53,600 MILES ON IT WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REPLACED. *AK I HAVE THE INVOICE AND WOULD BE WILLING TO PROVIDE A COPY AT YOUR REQUEST. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A SPEEDOMETER STICK IN THIS MANNER IN 35 YEARS OF DRIVING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AS DRIVERS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEIR TRUE RATE OF SPEED IS.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MU TAHOE WILL SAY THAT I DOING 60 AND THE CAR IS IN PARK. OVERTIME THE PROBLEM CORRECTS ITSELF AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT IS SOMETHING THAT I FEEL IS NOT ANYHTING THAT I HAVE DONE TO THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY EVERY 2 MONTHS. THE INCIDENT DATE IS THE MOST RECENT DATE THAT IT HAS HAPPENED.*AK

SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING UP. IT RESTS ON 40 MPH,AND SHOWS THAT I AM REACHING 110 MPH.WHEN I AM ONLY GOING 60 MPH,AND VEHICLE ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES,I CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ON A 2003 VEHICLE. *AK

TL* - THE CONTACT CALLED REGARDING THE 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD WORK FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES INTO THE TRIP, AND AFTER THAT IT WOULD SHOW LESS MPH THAN WHAT HE WAS TRAVELING ,EVENTUALLY GOING DOWN TO ZERO. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A REPAIR SHOP. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000, THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58000. THE FAILURE OCCURRED 10 TIMES.*AK

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WHEN SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO ACT ERRATICALLY. SLOWLY BUT SURELY SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM CRUISING SPEED UP THROUGH THE 120 MARK ON THE VEHICLE AND REMAINED FULLY PEGGED IN THE BLACK PORTION OF THE GAUGE. ALL DRIVING NOW REQUIRES DRIVERS JUDGMENT ON SPEED SINCE SPEEDOMETER IS INOPERATIVE. SPEEDOMETER CAN SETTLE AS LOW AT 40 MPH, BUT QUICKLY SKY ROCKETS AGAIN ONCE DRIVING COMMENCES. NO CORRECTIVE ACTIONS COULD FIX THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION. NOT KNOWING THE SPEED OF A VEHICLE PRESENTS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SCREAMS NEGLIGENCE AND LIABILITY. FORCE CHEVY TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES AND THEY LEARN THE HARD WAY. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ACTING ERACTIC, WITH THE NEEDLE STATING THAT I WAS GOING 120 MPH DOWN TO 0 MPH WITHIN SECONDS. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY, AND NOTICED THAT THE NEEDLE STUCK AT 70 MPH WHILE I WAS IDLE. NOW THE NEEDLE IN MY SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 120 MPH. *NM

AT A STOP CONSUMER'S VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD, HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. CONSUMER PULLED OVER, AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK
