| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2003 chevrolet tahoe with 57,000 miles. last week my speedometer started acting erotically. i was traveling down the highway at 50 mph, seconds later i checked my speedometer and it was reading 94 mph. at first i was shocked, but i realized i was still following the same cars in rush-hour traffic and it would have been impossible to be traveling over 90. by the time i got home the speedometer was stuck at 0 mph. since then it has been erotic. the speedometer will register 30 when i'm traveling at highway speeds, or not register at all. i am not as concerned when i am driving the vehicle, because i can gauge my speed off the tachometer. my sixteen-year old daughter or my wife however is another story. if they are on the highway going 55 or 60 and the speedometer is only registering 30, they might increase their speed in error and travel much faster which could be very dangerous. this can have grave consequences if on a two lane highway with speed limited curves. i cannot believe with all the complaints logged about this chevrolet is not recalling, or repairing the defective gauge. i have been driving for over 35-years and have never had a speedometer malfunction. *nm |
