2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT OBSERVED THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED INCORRECT READING, REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED BEING TRAVELED. IN ADDITION, FAILURE OCCURRED WITH THE FUEL GAUGE WHICH RESULTED IN AN INACCURATE READING AT ANY GIVEN FUEL LEVEL CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 20 MPH. PERSONAL RESEARCH HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET HAS ACKNOWLEDGED A DEFECT IN DRIVE MOTORS WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FROM A PARTS MANUFACTURER IN 10 MODELS PRODUCED FROM 2003 TO 2007. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO ADDRESS VIA A RECALL OF ALL EFFECTED MODELS. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE UNDER 70K MILES. MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING. I FOUND OUT THAT GM ISSUED A SPECIALS PROGRAM TO FIX THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON 03, 04 AND SOME 05 TAHOES IF THEY ARE UNDER 70K MILES. MY VIN NUMBER WAS OUTSIDE THE LOT OF APPROVED VIN'S. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS LED TO BELIEVE THEY WOULD PROVIDE SOME COVERAGE FOR MY REPAIRS IF THE GM MECHANIC COULD VERIFY THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY SPEEDOMETER WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM BEING RECALLED. AFTER ONE WEEK OF PHONE MESSAGES FROM GM THAT THEY WERE WORKING TOWARDS A RESOLVE, I WAS DENIED ANY COVERAGE. MY COMPLAINT IS LACK OF OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM WITH MY TAHOE BY GM. THE MECHANIC AT OUR LOCAL GM DEALER VERIFIED TO GM THAT MY INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS THE EXACT DEFECT THAT WAS BEING RECALLED. I WAS STILL DENIED AND WAS TOLD BY THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT THAT THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING WAS DUE TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER? THIS WAS SUCH A LUDICROUS STATEMENT BY CUSTOMER SERVICE. WE ARE NOW FORCED WITH FIXING THE SPEEDOMETER AT OUR EXPENSE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PROVEN TO BE THE FAULT OF GENERAL MOTORS. I AM FILING A COMPLAIN WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AS WELL. *TR

SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY GOES TO A MUCH HIGHER SPEED THAT CAR IS ACTUALLY TRAVELING. USED GPS TO VERIFY CAR GOING 65 BUT SPEEDOMETER REGISTERING 85. RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL PANEL ON VEHICLE ALSO GETS VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH WHEN THIS OCCURS. SPEEDOMETER WILL RANDOMLY RESET AND WORK FINE FOR A WHILE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. HE STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED HE NOTICED A FIRE IN HIS FUSE BOX THAT DESTROYED THE WIRING HARNESS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED UNDER THE HOOD UNDER THE LEFT FRONT FENDER. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER BEING REPAIR WITH A COST. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE AND THEY WOULD GET BACK WITH HIM WITHIN TWENTY FOUR HOURS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT CONTACTED HIM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. BL UPDATED 09/29/09

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. AROUND 70K MILES, MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING UP. IT STARTED OFF STICKING AT AROUND 30 MPH NO MATTER HOW FAST I REALLY WAS GOING. LATELY IT WILL EITHER NOT WORK AT ALL, WILL STICK AT 30 MPH, OR HAS EVEN BEGAN TO CLIMB TO 120 MPH WHILE I WAS DOING 30 MPH ACCORDING TO A GPS WHICH I AM FORCED TO USE TO MEASURE MY SPEED BECAUSE OF NO SPEEDOMETER. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $500.00. THIS IS VERY BOTHERSOME AND I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. CHEVROLET ACTS AS IF WE ARE AT FAULT FOR THIS EVERYTIME I GO IN AND COMPLAIN. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER 4 TIMES BECAUSE I WAS GOING OVER THE SPEED LIMIT BY LESS THAN 10 MPH. THIS COULD BE AVOIDED IF I HAD A WORKING SPEEDOMETER. *TR

I OWN A 2005 GMC PICK UP AND A 2005 CHEVY TAHOE AND THE SPEED ODOMETER JUST GOES CRAZY IN BOTH VEHICLES. THEY GO FROM 50 TO 0 TO 85 AND BACK TO 0 . THE LOCAL DEALER SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT I KEEP READING THAT THIS IS GETTING VERY COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES. IS THERE SOME WAY TO DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE. IN THE MONTH OF MARCH 2009 MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO READ I WAS GOING 120 MILES PER HR BUT OF COURSE THAT WAS NOT THE SPEED I WAS GOING. WE TOOK OUR TAHOE BACK TO THE SERVCO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAD GOOGLED AND READ THAT THERE WAS A SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM AND GM WAS FIXING THE PROBLEM. WELL THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE VIN # FOR THE CLUSTER WAS NOT ONE THAT GM WAS GOING TO REPLACE FOR FREE. WHY WOULD THEY REPLACE SOME AND NOT ALL. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT. I WILL NEVER BUY A AMERICAN MADE CAR AS LONG AS I LIVE. THAT'S FOR SURE. *TR
