2004 Chevrolet Tahoe

WELL WHERE SHOULD I BEGIN, THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE CLUNKING OF THE FRONT END WHEN GOING IN AND OUT OF DRIVEWAYS,THE FIRST STEERING SHAFT WAS REPLACED, A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED MAKING NOISE,THAT WAS REPLACED,THEN THE CLUNKING NOISE REAPPEARED, THIS TIME IT SUPPOSEDLY NEEDED TO BE LUBED, IT WAS FINE, HOWEVER NOISE REAPPEARED, THEN THE SECOND SHAFT WAS INSTALLED,THE TIRE SENSOR LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON WHEN EVER IT FEELS LIKE IT, AND TIRE PRESSURE IS NORMAL, NOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN IT RAINS EXCEPT WHEN YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, HOWEVER THEY COME BACK ON WHEN YOU RESTART THE CAR AFTER HOURS OF SITTING, MY WIFE IS EXPECTING OUR SECOND CHILD AND ALSO DRIVE MY 5 YEAR OLD IN THIS VEHICLE, THIS CAR IS PIECE JUNK, GM NEEDS TO TAKE BACK PRIDE IN THERE CRAFTSMANSHIP STEP UP TO THE PLATE LIKE THERE CONSUMERS DID AND FIX THIS ?!@#$%! THEY NEED TO EXTEND THERE WARRANTIES BECAUSE THERE CARS DO NOT LAST AS THEY MISLEAD YOU TO BELIEVE!!! *TR

OWNER OF 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO ACT ERRATICLY RECENTLY AND BECAME COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. AFTER CHECKING LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP, SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE EXPENSE WOULD BE BETWEEN 500 TO 600 DOLLARS AND TAKE THREE TO FOUR DAYS TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMED DIFFICULT FOR ME TO BELIEVE, SO I PHONED ANOTHER GM DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE BETWEEN 400 TO 500 DOLLARS. THAT PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD HAVE THE PART ORDERED AND AT THEIR LOCATION WITHIN 24 HOURS, AND IT WOULD ONLY TAKE AN HOUR TO INSTALL. I PHONED LOCAL PARTS STORES AND THEN BECAME AWARE TO THE HOST OF PROBLEMS RELATED TO GM SPEEDOMETERS BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2003 AND 2004, AND THEY SAID THE ONLY PLACE TO PURCHASE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER WAS THROUGH A GM DEALERSHIP, OR SALVAGE YARD. I COMPLETELY WROTE OFF THE SALVAGE YARD, AS HOW COULD I BE CERTAIN THAT THE SALVAGED PART WOULD NOT LIKEWISE BECOME UNRELIABLE. AS ANOTHER RESOURCE, I CHECKED THE INTERNET, AND TO MY SURPRISE, THERE WAS ROW AFTER ROW, AFTER ROW, OF CONSUMERS WHOSE GM PRODUCTS SIMILAR TO MINE HAD EXPERIENCED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETERS. AFTER READING SO MANY TESTIMONIALS OF DISAPPOINTED DRIVERS WHO WERE LIKE ME, THROWN INTO THE UNCERTAINTY OF HOW FAST OR SLOW THEY WERE GOING, I FELT COMPELLED TO WRITE TO YOU. EVERYONE IN OUR FAMILY IS AT RISK WHEN WE DRIVE OR RIDE IN THIS AUTOMOBILE, AND THE DEALERS' DISCREPANCY IN THE APPROACH TO REPAIR THE SPEEDOMETER LEAVES ME WANTING TO TRY ANOTHER REPUTABLE REPAIR SERVICE. I PHONED TWO OTHER GM DEALERSHIPS, TODAY, BUT THEY WERE CLOSED ON SATURDAY. THIS CERTAINLY MUST BE A PROBLEM THAT YOU HAVE BECOME AWARE OF OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, AND I WOULD MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR ADVICE IN THE DIRECTION I SHOULD GO FROM HERE. MY SINCEREST GRATITUDE.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY VEHICLE FAILED--RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM GM ABOUT A POSSIBILITY OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE A WEEK EARLIER- THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING MY COMMUTE(60+MI) WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL--ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE, I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE HIGHLIGHTED AS A POTENTIAL. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T AN IMMEDIATE RECALL VERSUS A "NOTIFICATION". *TR
