2003 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500 Complaints

SPEEDOMETER IS VERY ERRATIC. WHEN I AM AT A DEAD STOP THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS 70 MPH AND IT TOPS OUT AT 120 MPH WHEN I AM DOING ONLY 30 MPH. *JB

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 AVALANCHE WENT OUT. IT REGISTERS UP TO 120 MPH SITTING STILL. THE TACHOMETER RECENTLY WENT OUT, ALSO. VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY WIFE (WHO DRIVES THE VEHICLE) AND MY CHILDREN. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? *JB

STARTED TO NOTICE A TWITCH IN THE SPEEDOMETER READING ABOUT A MONTH AGO. PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT READS FASTER AND FASTER AND DOES NOT GO BACK DOWN TO ZERO. NOW IT IS PRESENTLY STUCK PAST 140 MPH. *JB

2003 CHEVY AVALANCHE - 48K MILES. WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER "TICKS" SOMEWHAT LIKE A WATCH AND DOES NOT MEASURE ACCURATE SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SLOWLY REDUCE TO ZERO, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL MOVING. *NM

2003 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE; MY SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING. THE READINGS ARE CRAZY, SHOWING THAT I AM GOING OVER 100 MPH WHEN I AM ONLY GOING ABOUT 50 MPH. AT ONE STOP SIGN, THE SPEEDOMETER INSISTED I WAS GOING 120 MPH! THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS. *NM

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE ON OUR 2003 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE AT 43,000 MILES. SPEED DOES NOT REGISTER WHATSOEVER OR DISPLAYS,FOR EXAMPLE, 20 MPH WHEN TRAVELING IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION; A DISTRACTION AND NOT KNOWING ONE'S RATE OF TRAVEL. GM SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. *JB

AFTER ONLY 26K MILES HAD A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END AND ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A HARD TURNING MOTION. EVIDENTLY THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CHEVY DEALER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE DESCRIPTION ON THE REPAIR INDICATES END-LUBE I-SHAFTAND THEY USED A GN LUBE KIT FP#26098419. AFTER ONLY 19 MONTHS AND 8K MILES LATER IT'S DOING THE EXACT SAME THING.

2003 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, Z71 PACKAGE. THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY STOPS WORKING OR STICKS ON A PARTICULAR SPEED. THE DIAL IS NOT ACCURATE AND I CANNOT TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING. *NM
