2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WERE DEFECTIVE AND DID NOT PROVIDE AN ACCURATE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

THE CHEVROLET TAHOE TAILGATE LOCK DO NOT HAVE AN EMERGENCY RELEASE INSIDE THE CAR. THE TAILGATE ACTUATOR HAS STOP FUNCTIONING ON MY CAR AND THERE NO WAY FOR ME TO OPEN THE DOOR. NOT EVEN TRYING TO OPEN WITH A KEY, BECAUSE THERE IS NO KEY OPTION TO OPEN THE DOOR ON THIS MODEL ON THE OUTSIDE TAILGATE. SINCE, CHEVROLET FAILED TO PLACE A RELEASE INSIDE THE CAR. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS LIFE OR DEATH ISSUE. IF MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR TRYING TO ESCAPE A FIRE OR CAR SUBMERGED UNDER WATER. THERE WILL BE NO WAY FOR THEM TO ESCAPE. THIS ITEM NEED TO BE CORRECTED AND FIXED. I'M FINDING SEVERAL INCIDENTS ON THE INTERNET WERE THE LOCKING UNIT HAS FAILED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN WOULD NO LONGER SOUND WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ONLY TIME THE HORN WOULD SOUND WAS WHEN THE BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB WAS ENGAGED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY TAHOE. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND STARTS SHOWING WRONG SPEEDS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SECURITY ISSUE AS YOU SUDDENLY LOST IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE TRAVELING. I WAS CHECKING ONLINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SUCH COMPLAINTS. I THINK DOT SHOULD SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE DASH GAUGES-SPEEDOMETER ERRATIC, GIVES FALSE READING AND EVENTUALLY GETS STUCK AT 120 MPH, RESET BY REMOVING "DIC"(DASH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER) FUSE AND STARTING VEHICLE THEN REPLACING FUSE (FOUND THIS IN A BLOG ABOUT THIS PROBLEM), FIXES FOR UNSPECIFIED AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE FAILING AGAIN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE MANDATORY RECALL BY MANUFACTURE, AS OF NOW ONLY A "VOLUNTARY" CLASS ACTION SUITE SETTLEMENT TO REPAIR AT 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES. MOST UNITS FAIL ON, AROUND OR AFTER THIS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I DID NOT REALIZE I WAS GOING OVER 70 MPH IN A 55 MPH ZONE AS MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 45 MPH AT THIS SPECIFIC MALFUNCTION, I TURNED ON MY GPS TO VERIFY BECAUSE I FELT I WAS GOING MUCH FASTER THAN MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING AND THE GPS READ OVER 70 MPH!. PLEASE DEMAND A RECALL FOR THESE ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEMS BY GM FOR 2003 THRU 2007 MODEL YEARS! THIS IS DUE TO FAULTY GAUGE MOTORS INSTALLED BY THE MAKER. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAID RECALLS ARE GOVERNED BY THE STATE THEREFORE IT WAS NOT RECALLED AND ONLY REPAIR AT THE SPECIFIED DATE MILEAGE RANGE IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS IS A COMPLETE SHAM, THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO INCUR EXPENSE BECAUSE OF A KNOWN FAULTY ITEM USED IN MANUFACTURING. WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THESE PEOPLE?....PLEASE HELP! *TR
