2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATES SHOWING SPEEDS GREATER THAN ACTUAL SPEED. SPEEDS ARE GREATER BY ANYWHERE FROM 10 MPH TO 80 MPH OVER ACTUAL SPEED. AS I WRITE THIS, THE CAR IS PARKED/ENGINE OFF AND SPEED INDICATED IS 60 MPH. *TR

NO INCIDENTS KNOWN. MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER LEAKS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 46,000 MILES. I DO NOT TOW TRAILERS, CARRY HEAVY LOADS, OR APPLY HEAVY BRAKE PRESSURE WHEN STOPPING. APPEARS TO BE AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT OR INJURY IF NOT INVESTIGATED AND CORRECTED. *TR

1) INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN MY 2004 SUBURBAN (SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAGE) FAILED DURING OPERATION 2) 4 INSTANCES OF RUNNING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OUT OF FUEL AND REQUIRING ROADSIDE SERVICE. SPEEDOMETER FAILURE IS INTERMITTENT FAILURES DURING OPERATION RESULT IN NUMEROUS SAFETY AND LEGAL ISSUES. 3) GM WILL CORRECT THE FAILURE FREE OF CHARGE IF THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. AFTER THE 70,000 MILE MARK IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR FOR A PART GM KNOWS IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

DRIVING TO DOCTOR APPT AND NOTICED THAT SPEEDOMETER STUCK ON 80 MPH. WHEN I EXITED TOLL ROAD, STILL SHOWING 80 MPH. AFTER STOPPING AND STARTING THROUGHOUT THE DAY, SPEEDOMETER IS NOW STUCK ON 120 MPH- VERY DANGEROUS! I BOUGHT THIS SUBURBAN NEW IN 2004 AND WAS TOLD TODAY AFTER REPORTING INCIDENT TO GM THAT I WAS OUT OF THE 7 YEAR/70,000 MILE RECALL. MY PROBLEM..I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY 20 MILES FROM THE NEAREST TOWN/WORK AND 90 MILES FROM DOCTOR- IS IT A WONDER I HAVE MORE THAT 70,000 MILES ON A 2004 MODEL?*CN

SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTION. PROBLEMS INCLUDE SPEEDOMETER BEING STUCK AT 0 MPH OR OTHER SPEEDS, SPEEDOMETER BEGINNING AT 60 MPH AND REACHING 120 MPH WHEN ACTUALLY TRAVELING 60 MPH, AND OTHER RANDOM PROBLEMS. *TR

2004 CHEVY SUBURBAN Z71, LESS THAN 16000 MILES, SPEEDOMETER PERIODICALLY DISPLAYS UPWARDS OF 30 - 120+ MPH OVER ACTUAL SPEED. CHEVY DEALER REPAIR COST IS TOO HIGH. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD. IS THERE YET A RECALL? *TR

2004 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS HAD THE FOLLOWING ISSUES BEFORE 100K MILES: 1. REPLACED FUEL PUMP 2. ENGINE OVERHEATING(TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT 2X FOR ISSUE) 3. OIL PRESSUE - LOST OIL PRESSUE 4. TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED AND DOES NOT OPERATE AT ALL. THE REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. AT 40,000 MILES, THE DEALER ROTATED THE TIRES, BUT DID NOT CHECK THE ROTORS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,539 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 03/14/08.*LJ THE POWER WINDOW MOTORS, UNIVERSAL JOINTS AND SHOCKS ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED

MY SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T CONSISTENTLY WORK. SOME TIME IT DOES.. SOME TIMES IT SAYS I'M DOING 110 MPH AND PEOPLE ARE PASSING ME AND MY RPMS ARE AT 1800. ALSO WHEN MY SPEED OMETER DOESN'T WORK MY REAR DFOG AND WIPER DO WORK. WHEN MY REAR DEFOG AND WIPER DON'T WORK MY SPEEDOMETER DOES WORK. I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES IN ALL THREE FUSE BOXES AND NONE ARE BLOWN. *TR

VEHICLE FIRE- STARTED TRUCK, TURNED ON FRONT AND REAR HEATER AND DEFROSTERS. ~2-3MIN LATER, THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND SMOKE. CAUGHT A SECOND CAR ON FIRE AND HOUSE ON FIRE. *TR
