| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2003 chevy tahoe. i visited the dealer in november 2005 with a failing speedometer. it seemed to stick on cold mornings and resulted in high readings. the movement was very jerky and there also seemed to be a rhythmic clicking sound coming from the cluster. the vehicle was still under warranty at this time. the dealer was unable to find a problem, but 'reset' the cluster at no charge. after a few weeks, the speedometer seemed to be working again except under very cold conditions. it is now 2/13/2007 and the speedometer is sticking again. it reads about 70 mph when the vehicle is parked. i took the vehicle to the dealership and they state that the cluster needs to be replaced (at a cost of $500+). the vehicle is no longer under warranty, so i am checking with the service manager since this is a proven, pre-existing condition per my visit in 2005. i should have an answer on that on 2/16/2007. i searched the internet and on a single site, topix.net, i found over 400 entries of customers experiencing the same problem on gmc and chevy trucks and suvs. this is a very unsafe condition (not being able to gauge speed)!*jb |
