| I was driving to a store in my city when it felt like i was not doing the speed limit and going slower than normal. when ii got to the store and turned off the car, i saw that the speedometer was registering 20 mph. i started the car back up and it dropped the speed reading by 5 mph. i did this 3 more times till it registered zero mph. when driving home, i noticed that i was still driving slower than normal and when i got home and turned off the car the speedometer reading was showing 25 mph. i looked online and saw that others are having the same problem. this problem continues to occur every time ii am driving my 2003 chevrolet suburban. i have not taken it to get fixed yet and have contacted chevrolet to see if they will fix the problem for free since it should not be happening. this could possibly affect the vehicle speed control when set. | |||

| Speedometer reading incorrect when idle or moving. registers over 120 mph while traveling approx 40 mph. dealer made recall but limited to under 60,000 miles. i put on almost that amount of miles in the first year of ownership. chevy should just recall & repair period. *tr | |||

| We have a 2003 suburban and the speedometer is failing to tell the correct speed it is going. this is an extreme safety issue that should be recalled by gm, i have always bought chevy/gm products but will reconsider when i trade in due to the lack of safety recalls when needed. *tr | |||

| I was recently pulled over for speeding . the patrolman clocked my @68 mph in a 45 mph speed zone. my speedometer showed 52 mph. now 2 weeks later it reads 75 mph parked in my drive. i can be driving 30 mph and my speedometer will read 105-100 mph or driving somewhere around 50-60 mph and it will be pegged out above 120 mph. i am reading on the internet and i'm not the only one having this problem. *jb | |||
