| Speedometer very irratic, shows excessive speeds (120mph) or doesn't register correct speed at all. called dealer numerous times about problem and never told about the tsb only that it would be over $600 to fix. did research online and found tsb and called again. this is a huge safety hazard and one that chevrolet should address across the board with the vehicles affected by this. then was told can't fix it because of mileage unless i pay out of pocket. now needle is stuck at zero and unfortunately being military we don't get paid enough to just shell out $600+ on a whim. someone needs to make chevrolet take care of their faulty products, if you pay for a premium product you should get one. | |||

| I have a chevy suburban 2005 my speedometer has stopped working. i also have a 2005 duramax that this has happened to. i would like to see a full blown recall placed on all gmc/chevy vehicles. apparently these are hundreds of thousands people with this issue across the u.s./ world according to forums i have been on. while there is a class action lawsuit out there for a very limited group of gmc vehicles, making lawyers rich. instead of taking care of the people whom make this world actually run. this issue needs to seriously looked into. my next step is to get the media involved showing how again the average consumer can get screwed by the big companies. i am not keeping my mouth shut about this. thank you | |||

| Speedometer on our 2005 surburban has been malfunctioning like all others reported on this site - ours for well over two years: sometimes reads zero when driving at highway speeds, other times is tacked at over 120 mph. we can be at a stop and it reads 90. afraid to use cruise control - who knows what will happen! waiting for nhtsa to demand a recall these vehicles: what will it take? someone dying because they hydroplane, or roll, or rear end someone because they have no clue how fast they are going? | |||

| I purchased my vehicle last year and i am having problems with my speedometer and my rpm gage. i was driving and my speedometer just kept moving up and finally it just got stuck at 120. it doesn't move from there and it is a very big safety issue. my wife uses the vehicle mostly and is on the freeway quite a bit and its a concern because you have no idea what your speed. we are basically guessing and that isn't safe for me or my kids. we have contact our dealer were we purchased it and i would have to pay $100.00 for the deductible. i have looked in several different websites (edmunds.com) regarding this issue an was very surprised to see that there are many people with the same problem and frustrated that chevy won't fix the problem. there is an obvious malfunction and it should be replaced at there cost not the consumers. my vehicle has only 57000 miles and this should not be occurring. i also have a 1994 chevy truck and it has never experienced problem like this. i really hope someone can help with this problem. *tr | |||

| While driving on interstate when speedometer started reading 80 then 90 then 100, then eventually 120 mph. pulled over, speedometer only returned to 45. had to start and stop engine 7 times to get to reset. happens approximately every 2 weeks. can't count on its accuracy for my safety in driving.*ak | |||
