| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At 35000 miles the speedometer would make a ticking noise and start moving with a notchy motion. when driving it could read 40-75 mph while doing less than 10 mph. at 60+ mph it could read 100+ mph. after multiple restarts the speedometer would return to 0. the problem seemed like it would worsen when the temperature was colder, but it could be coinsidence. took the vehicle into the chevrolet dealer where it was diagnosed as having a faulty guage cluster and replaced under warranty. while in the dealer there were 2 other people with similar trucks having the same thing replaced. now i see online that this is common with nearly every suburban and chevrolet/gmc truck in model years 2004-2005. this should be a recalled part and could be a make for a costly/dangerous drive for someone. |
