| While driving down freeway at 65mph the speedometer went to 105mph. it now reads 25mph when stopped and will read 65mph while only traveling 35mph. this has been verified with a gps. this has been an on going problem with a lot of gm vehicles and many customers have complained about the same problem. the only fix is a new instrument cluster. something needs to be done about this, a recall needs to be done! *tr | |||

| The safety issue here is the fact that gm door actuators do not work properly. gm is not recalling the parts and this has been going on for years. doors will not lock, or open consistently, and they do not cover the repairs unless you have the original factory warranty or it might be covered on major guard which they don't even offer on my vehicle. the internet is filled with thousands of people with the issue. people can be carjacked, or their vehicles stolen because their door locks won't function. gm just flat out does not care, and the problem isn't just on the tahoe & suburban lines. here are just a few links out there on this issue. http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/webx?14@@.f206d4b/0 http://www.chevymalibuforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7950 and here's someone who appears to have a fix, get rid of the cheap chinese parts. http://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/f69/tahoe-door-lock-actuator-problem-solution-27064/ the fact that this business practice is allowed to continue seems absurd. this part needs to be fixed and a recall issued. at a minimum it should be covered by gm for all failures on all vehicles. | |||

| I am writing this to complain about a fire hazard with the seat warmers in 2005 chevy tahoe. i had to take my vehical to the repair shop because my seat warmer would get warmer than usual and after 2 to 3 minutes would shut off. come to find out the seat warmer pad had shorted out and burnt. i have the seat warmer pad that is charcoaled and burnt. i have contacted and spoke to gm representives 4 times informing them of the fire hazard all i get is this is an isolated incident, my vehicle has to many miles and i took it to a repair shop other than gm. this is a serious fire hazard and i think the public needs to be aware and gm needs to investigate. *cn | |||

| I have a 2005 chevrolet tahoe. around 70k miles, my speedometer began acting up. it started off sticking at around 30 mph no matter how fast i really was going. lately it will either not work at all, will stick at 30 mph, or has even began to climb to 120 mph while i was doing 30 mph according to a gps which i am forced to use to measure my speed because of no speedometer. the dealer quoted me $500.00. this is very bothersome and i know many people who are experiencing the same issue. chevrolet acts as if we are at fault for this everytime i go in and complain. i have been pulled over 4 times because i was going over the speed limit by less than 10 mph. this could be avoided if i had a working speedometer. *tr | |||

| The driver side automatic seat quit working along with both the driver side and passengers side heated seats quit working as well. passenger side automatic seat worked fine. we took the tahoe into the dealer and they stated that the connector, under the drivers seat, was melted. they replaced the connector, however, the driver side automatic seat controls seem backwards. when you pull the leaver up, the seat goes down, and vice versa. i am very concerned that this malfunction may cause a fire. *tr | |||

| Occasionally smelled electrical burning inside vehicle. ac/heater blower cut out but came back on. december 2008 ac/heater blower stopped completely. went to dealership to confirm which fuse to check. was told it was probably something else and made an appointment for diagnosis. january 2009 was notified that the blower motor resistor and connector shorted out and melted (not covered under extended warranty). after researching the issue contacted manufacturer about possible recall, was told they would split cost of repair. dealer repair facility would not give us the faulty parts. said manufacturer would get the faulty parts due to them agreeing to pay for half of the repairs. still cost me $262 for diagnosis/repair. total repair price originally $323. many manufacturer vehicles have had same problem and i should not have had to pay anything. faulty part was upgraded by manufacturer and has been the subject of several service bulletins. *tr | |||

| Our 2005 tahoe has been having speedometer problems. it seems to not decrease speed when we slow down and when we accelerate the speed just keeps going up on speedometer until it pegs. we have noticed that there are recalls for several earlier year models but not on the 2005 model. if we get in an accident, police could say we are going faster than we are and our insurance company could deny the claim. also a possibility of a speeding ticket not knowing how fast you are going. major safety issue!!!!! the speedometer problem happens randomly. we only drive the vehicle approximately 100 miles a week. speedometer acts up 2 to 3 times a week. *tr | |||

| The speedometer on my 2005 tahoe is reading incorrectly. the other day i was traveling down the interstate when i looked down at my speed and the gauge was reading 120mph. i pulled off at the next exit when i came to s a stop; the speedometer was indicating 60mph. it has been 3 days since this happened and it still gives the same false readings. *tr | |||

| 2005 chevy tahoe. speedometer started reading higher than it should. i go 60 and speedometer reads 90. when i stop speedometer stays at 30. gm has recalled 03-04 but not 05 models. i have spoken with several dealers and several chat rooms and several of the 05's are having the same problem. called gm they said my vin was not in the recall. i told them that i had the same problem as everyone else. they said i had to get a diagnostic test on the vehicle then they would review and decide if they would pay for the repair. this is ridiculous. it is obvious a problem with the 05 models. gm should repair these. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet tahoe. the contact stated that the speedometer would remain at 50 mph, even if she was not accelerating. the gauge never displayed zero. while the vehicle was stationary, the speedometer would occasionally display 120 mph. in addition, the transmission was malfunctioning and would slip into gear hard. the entire transmission was rebuilt three times. even after the transmission was repaired, the speedometer still malfunctioned. it became stuck at 120 mph and never decreased. the contact discovered nhtsa campaign id number 05v055000 (power train:manual transmission:shift pattern indicator). the dealer stated that the vehicle would not be repaired because it exceeded 70,000 miles. the manufacturer would not provide any information due to a pending class action suit. the current mileage was approximately 105,000 and failure mileage was 68,583. | |||

| Instrument cluster panel on my 2005 chevy tahoe that was manufactured in july, 2004 is defective. gm will not warrant this model because it has the year 2005 on; however, it was manufactured in 2004. our 2004 had the same problem and was warranted. i cannot afford to pay this repair and have no idea what speed i am driving. i could speed excessively without knowing and cause an accident. i could drive below the speed limit and get rear-ended. it's apparent this is an-ongoing issue and gm should warrant the 2005 as well. *tr | |||

| 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. *tr | |||

| 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. *jb | |||

| Dt: the problem first started around 8-1-05. at this time all the lights in the dash area started flashing before the battery died. this occurred while the vehicle was parked. the battery had been replaced because it failed previously. the dealership told the consumer that they believed that the problem was caused a short in the electrical system. they told him that they would replace the ignition switch. there was no accident because of this. *ak *nm | |||

| The speedometer would not decrease speed, and but would register an increase, and consequently would not reflect actual speed. i could correct problem by repeatedly starting vehicle, until eventually it just would no longer register a change in speed at all. now i have no idea what speed my vehicle is traveling. *tr | |||
