2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

I HAVE A CHEVY SUBURBAN (2004) THAT THE SPEEDOMETER JUST STOP WORKING. IT FIRST STARTED GIVING ME A SLOWER SPEED THAN I WAS ACTUALLY GOING. AT 35MPH IT WAS REGISTERING 9MPH. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT WAS NORMAL THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DOES NOT REGISTER AT ALL. NOW IT STAYS AT 15 MPH WITHOUT THE VEHICLE MOVING. *TR

CHEVY SUBURBAN 2004 DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER. THE PART IS DEFECTIVE, BUT THE DEALER WANTS $500 TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE AGAIN. IT IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD WITH THE WRONG SPEED READOUT. GM SHOULD OWE UP TO THE PROBLEM, FIX THE PART/VEHICLES IN THE NAME OF SAFETY. THIS WILL BE MY LAST GM IF THEY FAIL TO AMEND THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST. *JB

MY 2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AT 50,000 MILES. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET SHOULD DO A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE BEGAN WITH THE NEEDLE "JERKING" AS VEHICLE SPEED INCREASED AND EVENTUALLY, ONE NIGHT THE NEEDLE WENT BEYOND 120 MPH AND STUCK ON THE PEG WHILE I WAS ON A RURAL HIGHWAY WITH NO WAY TO GAUGE MY SPEED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS AN INCORRECT READING ON THE DASH PANEL GAUGE. WHILE IN PARK OR STOPPED, THE GAUGE WILL SHOW ANYWHERE FROM 20-30 MILES PER HOUR AND WHILE DRIVING WILL ERRATICALLY JUMP FROM SPEED TO SPEED. RPM GAUGE IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. GAS GAUGE, UPON FILLING UP, IS SLOW TO REGISTER TO FULL. *TR

LEFT FRONT PARKING LIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. I SEE OTHER VEHICLE, SAME MAKE AND MODEL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LIGHT HOUSING IS NOT SEALED. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED CHANGE THE BULB BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. UPDATED 10/03/07 *TR

TERRIBLE KNOCKING IN TURNING STEERING WHEEL--REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY--STATES SHAFT, INTERMEDIATE REPLACE-MILEAGE WAS 35K NOW AT 55K SAME PROBLEM ONLY LOUDER AND WHEEL SEEMS LOOSE--CALLED DEALER--NEEDS TO REPLACE SHAFT AGAIN FOR A COST OF $300--I DRIVE MY GRANDCHILDREN TO SCHOOL AND TAKE LONG TRIPS--DEALER SAID CAR IS SAFE-I AM ABOUT TO MAKE ALONG TRIP AND CANNOT GET THE CAR SERVICED UNTIL MY RETURN IN A WEEK--THIS IS WORRISOME WHEN I FEEL I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR IF SOMETHING SHOULD BREAK-WHY WOULD A SECOND DRIVE SHAFT BE FAULTY AS WAS THE FIRST. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND MY DEALER SAYS IT IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF 2004 SUBURBANS AND THEY EXPECT A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS VERY ERRATIC , SOMETIMES SHOWING 30 TO 50 MPH WHEN PARKED. WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD JUMP AND SHOW 20 TO 60 MILES OVER THE ACCURATE GPS SPEED. NOW IT READ 120 MPH ALL THE TIME. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS MATTER. *AK

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE OUT. I HAVE READ MANY ENTRIES ON A WEBSITE THAT THIS WA S AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET TAHOES., AND THE PRICE TO GET IT FIXED RANGED FROM $400 TO $1000. THAT WAS A BIT TO EXPENSIVE. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL . THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. *AK

ODOMETER FAILED AND I WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED. IT COST ME APPROXIMATELY $750.00 TO REPAIR THE 2004 TAHOE. I OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THIS ITEM HAD TO BE REPLACED IN SEVERAL VEHICLES, BUT AT THIS TIME THERE WAS NO RECALL. SO I HAD TO PAY! *AK
