2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

OUR 2005 TAHOE HAS BEEN HAVING SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS TO NOT DECREASE SPEED WHEN WE SLOW DOWN AND WHEN WE ACCELERATE THE SPEED JUST KEEPS GOING UP ON SPEEDOMETER UNTIL IT PEGS. WE HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SEVERAL EARLIER YEAR MODELS BUT NOT ON THE 2005 MODEL. IF WE GET IN AN ACCIDENT, POLICE COULD SAY WE ARE GOING FASTER THAN WE ARE AND OUR INSURANCE COMPANY COULD DENY THE CLAIM. ALSO A POSSIBILITY OF A SPEEDING TICKET NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!!! THE SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM HAPPENS RANDOMLY. WE ONLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES A WEEK. SPEEDOMETER ACTS UP 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TAHOE. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS CORRECTLY ONLY HALF OF THE TIME. IT SOMETIMES TELLS ME I HAVE A FULL TANK AND THEN WHEN YOU RESTART THE TRUCK IT SHOWS EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. NOW TODAY THE SPEEDOMETER WAS SHOWING 120 AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. WE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND IT SHOWS 20 MPH. THIS IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. PLEASE HELP ME AND EVERY OTHER TAHOE OWNER WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 TAHOE IS READING INCORRECTLY. THE OTHER DAY I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT MY SPEED AND THE GAUGE WAS READING 120MPH. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT WHEN I CAME TO S A STOP; THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INDICATING 60MPH. IT HAS BEEN 3 DAYS SINCE THIS HAPPENED AND IT STILL GIVES THE SAME FALSE READINGS. *TR

2005 CHEVY TAHOE. SPEEDOMETER STARTED READING HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD. I GO 60 AND SPEEDOMETER READS 90. WHEN I STOP SPEEDOMETER STAYS AT 30. GM HAS RECALLED 03-04 BUT NOT 05 MODELS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL DEALERS AND SEVERAL CHAT ROOMS AND SEVERAL OF THE 05'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED GM THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT IN THE RECALL. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE. THEY SAID I HAD TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE VEHICLE THEN THEY WOULD REVIEW AND DECIDE IF THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. IT IS OBVIOUS A PROBLEM WITH THE 05 MODELS. GM SHOULD REPAIR THESE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD REMAIN AT 50 MPH, EVEN IF SHE WAS NOT ACCELERATING. THE GAUGE NEVER DISPLAYED ZERO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD OCCASIONALLY DISPLAY 120 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND WOULD SLIP INTO GEAR HARD. THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT THREE TIMES. EVEN AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED, THE SPEEDOMETER STILL MALFUNCTIONED. IT BECAME STUCK AT 120 MPH AND NEVER DECREASED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V055000 (POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:SHIFT PATTERN INDICATOR). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT EXCEEDED 70,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION DUE TO A PENDING CLASS ACTION SUIT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,583.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL ON MY 2005 CHEVY TAHOE THAT WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY, 2004 IS DEFECTIVE. GM WILL NOT WARRANT THIS MODEL BECAUSE IT HAS THE YEAR 2005 ON; HOWEVER, IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2004. OUR 2004 HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS WARRANTED. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THIS REPAIR AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING. I COULD SPEED EXCESSIVELY WITHOUT KNOWING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I COULD DRIVE BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT AND GET REAR-ENDED. IT'S APPARENT THIS IS AN-ONGOING ISSUE AND GM SHOULD WARRANT THE 2005 AS WELL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED HALF A TANK. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GASOLINE. HE HAD TO MANEUVER ACROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC AND AVOID SEVERAL NEAR CRASHES. THE FOLLOWING DAY, AFTER A FULL TANK OF GAS WAS PLACED IN THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON HIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000. UPDATED 09/10/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE OIL GAUGE DID NOT WORK AND THE LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAYED PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF. UPDATED 09/17/08. *JB UPDATED 03/04/09. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS EXPERIENCING MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THERE APPEARED TO BE A SHORT IN THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS. UPDATED 03/06/09. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. SOMETIMES WE ARE GOING SLOWER THAN IT SHOWS AND OTHER TIMES WE ARE GOING FASTER. FOR EXAMPLE, WE MAY BE DRIVING 65 MPH BUT IT WILL SHOW 120 MPH. OR WE MAY BE DRIVING 45 MPH BUT IT SHOWS 70 MPH. AND SOMETIMES IT WORKS. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW FOR SURE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVROLET TAHOE AS WE KNOW OF A RECALL WITH THE 04 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL START BLOWING HOT AIR ALL OF THE SUDDEN AND CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. HOWEVER, I AM NOT NEARLY AS CONCERNED WITH THIS AS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IN THIS SITUATION ASAP AND CHEVROLET NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. *TR
