The speedometer on my 2004 Tahoe does not give accurate speed readings. It said I was doing 62 miles an hour on the highway and I started passing every car on the road. I slowed down and then it never got above 15 miles an hour and I was on the highway. After shutting off the Tahoe for a few minutes it worked again. This happens regularly if I drive the car for more than about 30 minutes at a time.

Wow! I just got off the phone with Chevrolet about my speedometer not working at all. The rep stated this was not a recall but an extension of the warranty for the cluster if your VIN# falls w/in a certain range. Mine falls w/in the range but I'm over 80,000 miles and I bought the car used so had no idea about the wty extension. This makes no sense to me the cluster / speedometer is not an added feature or accessory, but mandatory on all vehicles. In other words no vehicles are purchased with out it. Why is this not a recall it is a safety issue! there was a lawsuit on this, but only extended the warranty mileage, what"??? it is defective no matter what the mileage, recall it before someone is seriously hurt due to an accident. I guess until it's recalled we can just guess what speed we are going, that's legal, right" help asap!!!!!

Speedometer registers 80mph at complete stop, 120 mph with movement. Problem did occur without warning. At this time not repaired because I do not have $500. I think it is a safety issue and Chevrolet should pay for repair even in my car is over 70,000 miles (is 83,000 now). I think we all want to save american car industry (with the help of taxpayers money), but we need to send the message to these people that they should be making reliable cars. Please we need a recall for the problem. I do want to keep buying american, but you need to help us out.

Failed speedometer. Started of messing up occasionally, but then began reading the wrong speed. Saying that I was going 25 when I was really going 55.

Purchased 2004 Tahoe for my son thinking it was a reliable vehicle. Little did I know that I got a lemon! the instrument panel was the first to go, although now it seems to be in the suggested mode, english. Then, the speedometer started acting erratically, going from 55 mph to 120 mph in like seconds. I believe the vehicle has about 105,000....what happens now? I hear its expensive to fix and I don't think I should have to pay for it. This is a defect and clearly there are thousands of people out there with the same problem....please help..

I was driving down one of the busy roads in manatee county, and the back hatch glass of my 2004 Chevy Tahoe blew off of my car. It went air born and landed in the South bound lane almost on top of a car. If the car had not slammed on its brakes and swerved, it could have killed someone. I contacted the dealership, and the will not fix the problem. The hinges are still attached to my vehicle and the insurance company wants a $500 deductible. I know I have been online researching this kind of incident and I am not the only person to have this problem. I feel like it should be a recall before someone gets killed. It is not normal for a 4 year old vehicle to have its glass blow off.

I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe with 87000 miles on it. Problem is internal gauge cluster defect. In other words, the speedometer doesn't work. Chevy/GM admits that certain vins had defective clusters installed (including mine) yet they will not recall them and/or replace them unless the vehicle has less then 70000 miles on it. The fact that this is a defective part and not just normal wear and tear and also that thousands of Chevy/GM owners are experiencing the exact same problem should constitute a recall, regardless of mileage. There are speed limits set on all roads because it is unsafe to drive at too high of a speed. If we could all accurately judge how fast we were going we would not need speedometers. However, we do need them and when they all the sudden your speedometer starts going crazy (I.e. show your speed as 120 when you are in fact doing 30 or showing it at 35 when you are doing 75) it becomes a safety concern. The dealership where I purchased my car wants $575 to fix their defective part and GM/Chevrolet has told me "sorry, can't help you".

Instrument panel malfunctions by sticking while driving and not returning to zero when the car is turned off. In order to get the speedometer to zero out you have to turn the car on and off until the needle drops to zero. Other times the instrument panel fails to register any values. I called Chevrolet customer assistance center they referred me to the dealership which wants to charge me $ 500 for the part and an amount to be determined in labor ($200-300) to replace the instrument cluster. This appears to be a known defect for model years 2003-2007. Several complaints have been filed in court. Northern district of ca. One such matter. Hundreds, if not thousands of defective instrument panels have been cited by the case filing and the listing on several public websites that include the NHTSA website. The NHTSA cites in reports that in 2005 30% of accidents leading to fatalities are speed related crashes; the same reference lists 13,113 lives were lost. Considering this assessment by the NHTSA - I find this matter not subject to full recall or further detailed investigation an alarming issue. Due to the instrument panel being a vital measuring device for the operator this becomes a significant safety and concern for all consumers who are on roads where these vehicles are used not just the owners.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe. While driving approximately 55-60 mph on normal road conditions, the four wheel drive activated without assistance. The four wheel drive mechanism failed to respond when the contact attempted to deactivate the system. The four wheel drive warning indicator illuminated intermittently on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection, but they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. Recently, the front driver's and passenger side seats failed to recline backwards. In addition, there was water leaking from the sunroof near the passenger side sun visor. Finally, the passenger side power window and heated seat failed to operate. The VIN and mileages were unknown.

- Elkhorn, KY, USA

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact received a notice from the manufacturer for the instrument cluster, which advised her to take the vehicle to the nearest dealer for service. He was not experiencing any failures at the time the notice was received. Approximately one month later, the speedometer, heat control, fuel gauge dial, and other instrument panel indicators failed. The speedometer displayed a higher speed than what was actually being driven. At startup, the speedometer would read approximately 70 mph and then later register 120 mph when the vehicle was in motion. The dealer advised her to call the manufacturer. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle exceeded the mileage requirement; therefore, they would not assist with the repairs. The dealer stated that the repair would cost over $400 for the part alone. The vehicle has not been repaired. The current mileage was 78,323 and failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

My 2004 Chevy Tahoe with 102,000 miles has speedometer needle that suddenly becomes erratic while driving after 30 minutes at 50-60 mph. It will reset to normal after a few engine starts and shuts down. I hear this is a common problem with GM trucks of this era. Isn't this a safety hazard" is there a recall"

Speedometer not indicating the correct speed.

On October 11, 2008, the speedometer in my 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe failed. Sometimes the needle moves, but it is completely unreliable. This failure occurs everytime I start the engine. When driving this vehicle, I can never be sure if I am traveling at the correct rate of speed. I am very concerned for the safety of my family while in this vehicle. I have not been able to have this vehicle repaired yet as the cost is extremely high.

2004 Chevy Tahoe with 78K miles. On a road trip, speedometer increased to indicate 120+ mph. When vehicle stops indicator only falls to 55-65 mph. No change if vehicle is shut down. No other instruments appear to be affected. Appears to be a class action suit on this issue in California.

- Marietta, GA, USA

Speedometer on 2004 Tahoe quit working. Started getting stuck between 40 mph & 120 mph, but now has stopped completely. Received a letter from GM about 1 month ago, but it stated the problem was not a recall & would replace it up to 70 K miles. Mine has 77 K. just my luck. This should be a recall.

Well where should I begin, the first problem was the clunking of the front end when going in and out of driveways, the first steering shaft was replaced, a couple of months later the speedometer started making noise, that was replaced, then the clunking noise reappeared, this time it supposedly needed to be lubed, it was fine, however noise reappeared, then the second shaft was installed, the tire sensor light intermittently comes on when ever it feels like it, and tire pressure is normal, now the windshield wipers will not shut off when it rains except when you turn the vehicle off, however they come back on when you restart the car after hours of sitting, my wife is expecting our second child and also drive my 5 year old in this vehicle, this car is piece junk, GM needs to take back pride in there craftsmanship step up to the plate like there consumers did and fix this ?!@#$%! they need to extend there warranties because there cars do not last as they mislead you to believe!!!

Speedometer intermittently indicates vehicle's speed well below actual speed. Problem seems to occur after vehicle has run for 2 to 3 hours. On interstate, running with normal traffic at approx. 70 mph, speedometer will indicate 35 to 40 mph or not work at all. Cruise control also fails to work when speedometer becomes erratic.
