Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My wife drives a chevrolet tahoe 2003 ls with about 48 000 miles on it. recently i was driving on the interstate and noticed the speedometer was showing 90 mph. i looked at other cars around me and decided may be i was going a little fast. so i slowed down a bit. the speedometer went up to 100. after i pulling over and stopped it went down slowly after i stopped. during the next week, the speedometer continued to increase and eventually stuck at the highest speed. so i made some calls to various dealers , and was told that several people have had this problem, and that it was going to cost $500 to fix the instrument cluster. i think this is a safety issue and want to notify chevrolet. i think this is their problem. i don't want to pay for this one. yesterday evening, the speedometer appeared to be working again. this time i've noticed it will track on the right speed and then have to come to a complete stop to sort of reset it. *ak
