2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

SPEEDOMETER IS VERY SPORADIC IT DOES NOT TELL THE RIGHT SPEEDS IT WILL JUMP TO 120MPH WHEN IM GOING 25 OR 30 MPH IN MY SUBDIVISION SOMETIMES IT JUST STOP AT 40 MPH WHEN IM SITTING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN ALSO I'VE NOTICED A LARGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS WANDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. SOMETIMES IT GOES WAY PAST THE NUMBERS THAT ARE ON THE GAUGE. ALSO JUST RECENTLY, MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND IT READ 25 MPH. I HAD TO TURN THE TRUCK ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES TO RESET IT. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL TAHOE OWNERS AND APPARENTLY THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO THEM. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT JUST A SINGLE CASE. I WOULD LIKE GM TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM SINCE IT IS EXPENSIVE IF I PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF MY POCKET. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE IN OCTOBER 2006, AND WITHIN 3 MONTHS AFTER I HAD IT THE STEERING SHAFT WAS VIBRATING TERRIBLY, MADE ME VERY NERVOUS AS IT FELT LOOSE. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC WHO CHECKED IT OUT AND ASSUMED THERE MAY BE A RECALL BUT THERE WAS NOT SO HE STUCK A BUNCH OF GREASE IN IT AND IT WAS GOOD. THAT LASTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND AGAIN IN ANOTHER 6 MONTHS OR SO. I HAVE HAD IT IN 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND HAVE TO PAY EACH TIME TO GET THE STEERING SHAFT GREASED AND I THINK THAT IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS A TOP DOLLAR AUTOMOBILE SO ONE WOULD THINK THESE PROBLEMS WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE CAUSING SPEEDOMETER TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. *TR

2003 TAHOE, APPROX. 86,600 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE NO LONGER MOVES WHEN I DRIVE, IT IS STUCK IN THE FULLY DOWN POSITION. I AM GOING OVER 120MPH SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. DEALER WANTED $300-350 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS OVER THE 70,000 MILES THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSEDLY WARRANTING THIS THROUGH NOW. EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT EVEN A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 TAHOE ACTS ERRATICALLY. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 76000 MILES ON IT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH MANY MODELS THAT CHEVY HAS PRODUCED. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONS AND CAUSES INACCURATE READINGS. *TR

AT FIRST, THE FUEL GAGE ON OUR 2003 TAHOE, WOULD ONLY READ FROM 1/2 - ENTIRELY FULL AND THEN WOULD DROP INTO THE RED WHEN ALMOST EMPTY. THIS BEGAN ABOUT A 1 1/2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD REGISTER THAT THE CAR WAS GOING 40 MPH WHILE WE WERE AT A COMPLETE STOP OR AT 0 WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING WHEN THE CAR WAS ABOUT 2 1/2 YRS OLD. IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITHIN 6 MOS. WE WOULD NEED TO STOP, TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT FOR IT TO RESET ITSELF. HOWEVER, THIS WOULD ONLY BE TEMPORARY AND IT WOULD BEGIN TO READ INCORRECTLY WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. THIS WAS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY HAZARD SO WE TOOK IT TO OUR DEALERSHIP, WHO CALLED GM AND SAID SINCE THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 70,000 MILES, THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO FIX IT. HOWEVER, WE WERE TOLD THAT IF WE HAD PURCHASED A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THIS WAS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE TO ME SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CHEVY BRAND BECAUSE OF ITS RELIABILITY AND WOULDN'T EXPECT A SPEEDOMETER TO PROBLEM TO BEGIN SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON MY 2003 TAHOE IS GOING BAD. THE COST OF REPAIR IS AROUNF ~400.00. I RECEIVED A LETTER FORM GM SAYING THEY WOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR 70K MILES. THEY HAVE KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND ARE JUST NOW OFFERING TO COVER IT AFTER MOST VEHICLES ARE OVER THE 70 K MILE LIMIT. I CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY COULD WORK WITH ME ON THIS. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC ($60) AND THEN I CALLED TO VERIFY PROBLEM WITH THEM. THEN THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY COSTS.*CN

MY TAHOE HAS 59,000 MILES WE HAVE REPLACED THE RADIO 3 TIMES THE AIR CONDITIONING PUMP ONCE AND NOW THE FUEL PUMP ALL LUMPED TO ABOUT $2200.00 CASH OUT OF POCKET .THANKS CHEVY! *TR
