ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER INDICATIONS, SPEEDOMETER STUCK ON 120MPH WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED CALIBRATED BY MEMORY USING THE TACHOMETER. THE SAME COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED BY MULTIPLE PURCHASERS OF THIS VEHICLE FOR YEARS THAT THE PROBLEM IS APPARENTLY A DASH CLUSTER FOR CONSUMER PAID REPLACEMENT OF$450.00. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVY TAHOE HAS DEVELOPED A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. THE GAUGE READS 20-30 MPH FASTER THAN IT SHOULD AND THEN IT EVENTUALLY PEGS OUT AT 120 MPH. IT WILL RETURN TO 0 AFTER THE SWITCH IS CYCLED ON/OFF BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW YOUR SPEED WHEN IT'S MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

I AM WRITING THIS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A FIRE HAZARD WITH THE SEAT WARMERS IN 2005 CHEVY TAHOE. I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICAL TO THE REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE MY SEAT WARMER WOULD GET WARMER THAN USUAL AND AFTER 2 TO 3 MINUTES WOULD SHUT OFF. COME TO FIND OUT THE SEAT WARMER PAD HAD SHORTED OUT AND BURNT. I HAVE THE SEAT WARMER PAD THAT IS CHARCOALED AND BURNT. I HAVE CONTACTED AND SPOKE TO GM REPRESENTIVES 4 TIMES INFORMING THEM OF THE FIRE HAZARD ALL I GET IS THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, MY VEHICLE HAS TO MANY MILES AND I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP OTHER THAN GM. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD AND I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE AWARE AND GM NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE. *CN

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY TAHOE, THAT HAS OVER 100,000 MILES. I FIRST NOTICED A PROBLEM A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND IT WOULD SEEM LIKE THE PEDAL WOULD STICK A LITTLE BIT, BUT I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ODD ABOUT THAT. (BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE MIGHT FOOT WASN'T ACCELERATING PROPERLY) THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING WITHOUT WARNING I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AROUND 65 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DRAG HORRIBLY. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION TO CHECK MY TRANSMISSION FLUID, WHICH WAS FULL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AAMCO, THEY PLACED IT ON THE MACHINE AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK FINE, HOWEVER, WHEN THE MECHANIC DROVE THE VEHICLE HE DETERMINED IT WAS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. THE VEHICLE REPAIRS TOTAL @ $1800.00 WHICH I DON'T HAVE ESPECIALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAY'S. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SITTING IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WHEN I LIVED IN GEORGIA IN 10/2006, IT HAD 55,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME WITH NO VISIBLE ABUSE. *TR

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.

STOPPED TO CHECK AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES, THAT'S WHEN I SAW THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WITH A 6 INCH SIDEWALL SEPARATION LEADING FROM THE RIM SIDEWALL TO THE TIRE TREAD. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE HAS A 3 INCH SEPARATION STARTING INTO THE SIDEWALL. *TR

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 AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2005 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. THE VEHICLE STANDARD EQUIPMENT INCLUDES A TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS). THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT ALL FIVE (SPARE TIRE) TIRE VALVE STEM CAPS HAVE SEIZED ON THE VALVE STEM WHICH PREVENTS ADDING AIR TO THE TIRES. THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO CORROSION BETWEEN THE CONTACTING SURFACES ONLY OF THE VALVE STEM AND VALVE STEM CAP. THE CORROSION IS DUE TO THE REACTION BETWEEN THE DISSIMILAR METALS OF THE VALVE STEM CAP AND VALVE STEM. THIS CAN CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU HAVE LOW TIRE PRESSURE AND CANNOT ADD AIR TO THE TIRE. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE REPAIR IS SIGNIFICANT AS THE TPMS SENSOR MUST BE REPLACED. THE VALVE STEM AND VALVE STEM CAP ARE THE ORIGINAL PARTS THAT CAME ON THE NEW CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE VALVE STEM CAPS WITHOUT BREAKING THE VALVE STEMS. I A PERSON NEEDS TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRE THEY WILL LIKELY END UP BREAKING THE VALVE STEM. *TR
