Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving my 2004 tahoe down the highway my oil pressure indicator dropped to zero. i pulled over and shut it off. i checked the oil, which was fine, and re-started the vehicle. the pressure returned to normal. two days later the same thing happened except this time i did not get oil pressure back. after having it towed to a shop, needless to say it worked again. at this time i was advised that the oil sending unit may be faulty and paid to have it changed. this did not fix the problem and finally it failed for good. the repair shop verified that the engine did have good oil pressure and that it was an indicating problem. i found a company on-line that repaired instrument panels and chose to take the vehicle home and remove it myself to send off for repair. on the way home, my speedometer malfunctioned and now reads 25 mph at a stand still. one problem i can understand. two problems this close together tells me that this instrument panel is junk. after researching this i have found many others with the same problem. i am extremely upset about the amount of money i have spent for such poor quality. i would hope that gm will back its products and re-call these panels or at least cover the repair costs for the individuals with instrument panel problems. *nm
