| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2003 chevrolet tahoe has been having problems with the speedometer. when it is cold, and i start the car up in the morning, the speedometer jumps up, and says the speed is about 10 mph. once i start driving, it quickly jumps up in excess of 120 mph, and off the charts. then when coming back down to idle, it sits anywhere from 60 mph - 90 mph. to clear this back to zero, and get it to seem like it is working properly, i have to turn off the vehicle, turn it back on again, and then it jumps down 10 mph each time it turns back on. so i have to do this several times to get it back to normal. this happened on thanksgiving, and then again today. this is a widespread problem amon gm vehicle owners, with tahoes, yukon's, avalances, and other chevrolet/gmc trucks/suv's. the chevrolet dealers say the instrument cluster has to be replaced, and parts and labor for this, seems to be anywhere from $350 - $700+. with such a widespread report of this problem, gm needs to issue a recall on this, and stop making people pay to fix this problem. *jb |
