2004 Chevrolet Tahoe

I DRIVE A 2004 TAHOE LS. I AM A SALESMAN AND DRIVE QUITE A BIT AND HAVE RACKED UP AROUND 95,000 MILES TO THIS DAY. WHILE DRIVING, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER ACTING ERRATICALLY. THE NEEDLE WOULD JUMP OR LURCH PAST EACH NUMBER AS IT ASCENDED THROUGH THE NUMBERS ON THE SPEEDOMETER. IT WAS MORE NOTICEABLE IN THE 55 TO 75MPH RANGE. THE SPEED WAS STILL ACCURATE SO I VIEWED IT AS A NON-ISSUE. HOWEVER, AS TIME WENT ON THE ACCURACY BEGAN TO DEGRADE AS I STARTED NOTICING THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD STOP AT 40 MPH WHILE I WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEGRADATION HAS CONTINUED UP TO NOW WHERE I AM LUCKY IF THE NEEDLE EVEN MOVES OFF OF 0 MPH. WHEN THE NEEDLE DOES MOVE IT FREEZES AT ABOUT 15 MPH FORCING ME TO GUESS AT MY SPEED BY MONITORING THE TACHOMETER. THIS IS A PRETTY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASSUME GM WOULD LOOK TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION QUICKLY. THE ALTERNATIVE IS FOR THE CONSUMER TO FOOT THE BILL OF A $500-$1100 REPAIR COST FOR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AS MANY DEALERS ALREADY KNOW THAT THE "CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED". THIS IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE FOR GMS BUILT IN THE 2003 TO 2005 MODEL YEARS WHICH WE, AS CONSUMERS WHO HAVE ALREADY INVESTED AT LEAST $40,000 ON THESE VEHICLES, NEED TO SEE REMEDIED. P.S. THE 07 FORD EXPEDITION AND EXPEDITION EL APPEAR TO BE VERY NICE

2004 CHEVY TAHOE-SPEEDOMETER ACTING ERRATIC. FIRST NOTICE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DOING 70 MPH,THEN APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND THE SPEEDOMETER WENT DOWN TO 30 MPH. I CAME BACK TO 70 MPH, SO I THOUGHT ,BUT TRAFFIC WAS PASSING ME UP LIKE IF THEY WERE DOING 100 MPH. IN REALITY I WAS DOING ABOUT 50 MPH. NEXT DAY IT WAS WORKING FINE,BUT NOW THE SPEEDOMETER IS JERKY. READING CHEVY TAHOE FORUMS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND AFTER A FEW DAYS OF THE JERKY SPEEDOMETER THE SPEEDOMETER COMPLETELY GOES OUT. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *NM

I JUST PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE Z71 WITH 29854 MILES ON IT. TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE ODOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH THE ODOMETER WAS READING 20 MPH. THEN WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH IT WAS READING BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. I READ THROUGH THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND FOUND 3 THAT SEEMED TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I JUST LUCKED OUT BY FINDING THIS WEB SITE AND WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A 36/36 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND MONDAY PLAN ON CALLING THE DEALER TO BRING IT IN TO HAVE IT REPAIRED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING TO SEVERAL VEHICLES.*AK
