2004 Chevrolet Tahoe

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR SERVICE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 42,515.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ACTIVATED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE MECHANISM FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEACTIVATE THE SYSTEM. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. RECENTLY, THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE SEATS FAILED TO RECLINE BACKWARDS. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS WATER LEAKING FROM THE SUNROOF NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR. FINALLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW AND HEATED SEAT FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VIN AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING AFTER REACHING MILEAGE OF 90,000. GOT STUCK AT APX.70 MPH AND AFTER DRIVING AWHILE IT INCREASED TO 120 POINTING SOUTH EVEN WHILE AT A STAND STILL. THEN OIL AND GAS GAUGE STARTED TO ERROR. DEALERSHIP COST OVER $500 TO REPAIR AN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. NEVER NOTIFIED, HEARD OF RECALL, OR INFORMED OF PROBLEM FROM DEALER OR MANUFACTURER UNTIL PROBLEM STARTED. SEARCHED INTERNET AND LEARNED OF OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. CALLED GM AND THEY STATED SOMETHING ABOUT A SETTLEMENT BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AS MY VEHICLE DIDN'T ERROR UNTIL AFTER SOME DEADLINE. I'M BAFFLED AS TO WHY SOME OWNERS WERE EXCLUDED IF PROBLEMS DIDN'T EXIST AT THE TIME GM RECTIFIED OTHERS. IS IT THE OWNERS FAULT THAT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T ERROR BEFORE THIS SO CALLED UNFAIR TIME LINE? IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THE GM REPLACEMENT SOONER, MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE JUST HAD IT REPLACED BEFORE IT ERRORED......WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN AS THEIR PRACTICES ARE NOT HELPFUL TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER IS MALFUNCTIONING BY STICKING WHILE DRIVING AND NOT RETURNING TO ZERO WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. IN ORDER TO GET THE SPEEDOMETER TO ZERO OUT YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF UNTIL THE NEEDLE DROPS TO ZERO. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WANTS TO CHARGE ME $ 600 TO REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE MALFUNCTIONED IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHICH ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST DEALER FOR SERVICE. HE WAS NOT EXPERIENCING ANY FAILURES AT THE TIME THE NOTICE WAS RECEIVED. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER, THE SPEEDOMETER, HEAT CONTROL, FUEL GAUGE DIAL, AND OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS FAILED. THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED A HIGHER SPEED THAN WHAT WAS ACTUALLY BEING DRIVEN. AT STARTUP, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND THEN LATER REGISTER 120 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE DEALER ADVISED HER TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE REQUIREMENT; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $400 FOR THE PART ALONE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,323 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

ON OCTOBER 11, 2008, THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE FAILED. SOMETIMES THE NEEDLE MOVES, BUT IT IS COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE. THIS FAILURE OCCURS EVERYTIME I START THE ENGINE. WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, I CAN NEVER BE SURE IF I AM TRAVELING AT THE CORRECT RATE OF SPEED. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED YET AS THE COST IS EXTREMELY HIGH. *TR
