Tahoe 8-cyl

  • 65,000 miles
The speedometer on our 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe lt does not function properly. Sometimes we are going slower than it shows and other times we are going faster. For example, we may be driving 65 mph but it will show 120 mph. Or we may be driving 45 mph but it shows 70 mph. And sometimes it works. You just never know for sure. This is dangerous and obviously an ongoing problem with the Chevrolet Tahoe as we know of a recall with the 04 Chevrolet Tahoe having this same problem. Also, the air conditioner on the driver's side will start blowing hot air all of the sudden and continue to do so until the car is turned off and restarted. However, I am not nearly as concerned with this as with the speedometer. I feel strongly that there needs to be a recall in this situation asap and Chevrolet needs to address this problem. I should not have to pay to have this fixed.

Tahoe 8-cyl

The instrument cluster on my 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe has malfunctioned. Vehicle only has 27,559 miles on it. Looks like a known problem by GM as they settled a lawsuit with delphi and this should be recalled and fixed at no cost.

Tahoe 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

My complaint is a steady vibration in the steering wheel while my 2005 Tahoe is idling in traffic, car in gear, basically crawling along in traffic. Although vibration never gets to the point of seeing the steering wheel physically shake, the vibration gets stronger after the vehicle has been running (gets hotter). Vibration creates a sensation similar to a low electrical current running up your arm. After sitting in traffic for 30 to 40 minutes, your fingertips become almost numb. Vehicle has bee back to the dealership twice for this problem and has been reported directly to GM. GM's response is that the vibration is caused by an electrical fan running after the vehicle gets heated and can not be resolved.
