2005 CHEVY SURBURBAN SPEEDOMETER (55,549 MILES) IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SPEED VARIES WHEN CAR IS IN USE MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ACTUAL SPEED IS AT TIMES/AND SOMETIMES THE SPEED DROPS TO ZERO AND STAYS IN THIS SETTING. *LN

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING ON OUR 2005 CHEVY SUBURBAN. STARTED OUT GOING FROM 20 TO 100 AND NOT REGISTERING THE PROPER SPEED. NOW IS STUCK AT 120 MPH. COST RANGES FROM 300 TO 1000 DOLLARS TO FIX. HAVING TO USE GPS FOR SPEED WHICH IS A DISTRACTION AND SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

AT 99K MILES THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING ERRATIC. THERE ARE TIMES IT IS CORRECT AND TIMES WHEN IT READS 5 TO 25 MILES MORE THAN MY TRAVELING SPEED. IT IS DEFINITELY HIT OR MISS AS TO WHEN THIS WILL OCCUR. NOW THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND THE RPM GAUGE ARE ACTING FAULTY AS WELL. I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY MEASURES TO CORRECT THE SPEEDOMETER BUT IT WILL RESET ITSELF AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF TURNING THE CAR ON AN OFF. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER READS ERRANTLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON OUR 2005 SURBURBAN HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING LIKE ALL OTHERS REPORTED ON THIS SITE - OURS FOR WELL OVER TWO YEARS: SOMETIMES READS ZERO WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OTHER TIMES IS TACKED AT OVER 120 MPH. WE CAN BE AT A STOP AND IT READS 90. AFRAID TO USE CRUISE CONTROL - WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN! WAITING FOR NHTSA TO DEMAND A RECALL THESE VEHICLES: WHAT WILL IT TAKE? SOMEONE DYING BECAUSE THEY HYDROPLANE, OR ROLL, OR REAR END SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CLUE HOW FAST THEY ARE GOING? *TR

WE OWN A 2005 CHEVY SUBURBAN, AND THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO JUMP AROUND AND ACT ERRATICALLY. IT NOW SHOWS ABOUT 60 MPH, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS AT A STOP. GOES UP ABOVE 120 MPH WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AND JUST LIKE OTHERS REPORTED, WAS TOLD WE WERE GOING TO BE TAKEN FOR OVER $600 FOR A REPAIR THAT IS OCCURRING IN VIRTUALLY EVERY 2005 GM TRUCK (ALONG WITH OTHER YEARS). WE CAN NO LONGER TELL WHAT SPEED WE ARE DRIVING, WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY FOR MY TEENAGE DRIVERS THAT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. *TR

ONE WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING TO MY BACK ABOUT 6 TO 7 MILES AND MY BRAKES WENT OUT. I WAS SO SCARED I ALMOST DIED IT WAS A HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA. THIS TIME IT WAS MY FRONT ROTOR CRACKED RIGHT IN HALF. I SEE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I HAVE ASKED AROUND AND NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN OR HEARD OF SUCH A THING. THIS IS CRAZY AND I TAKE MY KIDS IN THIS CAR. *TR
