SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER DEFECT. *TR
WE HAD A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER READING GOING WHAT SEEMED TO BE 85MPH DOWN THE 395 WHILE OUR SPEEDOMETER READ 30MPH. WHEN THE PIN FINALLY READ 0 MPH FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES (ACTUAL RATE OF SPEED WAS APPROX. 30MPH) IT RESET AND WAS BACK TO NORMAL. WE ARE NOW IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE PART. NOT SURE IF GMC WILL COVER THE REPAIR. *TR
(2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE) SPEEDOMETER STICKS AROUND 70 OR STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES 2 OR MORE HIGHWAY HOURS AWAY. TURNING THE ENGINE OFF FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME ALLOWS THE SPEEDOMETER TO RESUME ITS NORMAL FUNCTION JUST TO DUPLICATE THE MALFUNCTION. I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED A LETTER DETAILING THE ABOVE STATED PROBLEM FROM CHEVROLET THAT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT HONOR BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE MILEAGE STATED IN THE LETTER WHEN MY FIRST COMPLAINTS OVER A YEAR AGO WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER THE MILEAGE STIPULATION. I TRAVEL FOR WORK A LOT IN MY PERSONAL VEHICLE AND HAVE PUT ON MORE THAN 100K SINCE MY PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE IN 10/03 WHEN IT HAD LESS THAN 3 MILES ON IT. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET YUKON. WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF AND DIM. THE SPEED WAS UNKNOWN.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE WIRE FROM UNDER THE HOOD TO THE DASHBOARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,670. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,128.
SPEEDOMETER "JERKY". FINALLY QUITS ALL TOGETHER AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME EACH TIME YOU DRIVE. GOES COMPLETELY TO 0 AND MUST USE TACHOMETER FOR SPEED APPROXIMATION. *JB
I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY Z71 TAHOE WITH 56,000 MILES ON IT AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS HANGING AND GIVING ME THE WRONG SPEEDS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. *NM
SPEEDOMETER WAS ACTING ERRATICALLY ALMOST AS THOUGHT IT WAS TICKING RATHER THAN MOVING SMOOTHLY THIS STARTING HAPPENING AROUND 10/14/06. AS OF 10/25/06 SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND WHEN CAR IS STOPPED OR TURNED OFF WILL SHOW I AM GOING 10 MPH. HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO FIX. I HAVE DONE WEB SEARCCHES AND THEIR APPEARS TO BE NO FIX AS OF YET FROM INDIVIDUALS WITH IDENTICAL SCENARIOS. *NM
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
