| The oil guage on my 2005 chevrolet tahoe was replaced on april 6, 2011. the needle was as far over on the right side of the guage (looking at it) as it could go. it clearly was not reading the amount of oil pressure. the entire dash panel had to be replaced to correct this problem after it was determined there were no bad connections to the unit. the dash part was $350.00. | |||

| 2005 chevrolet tahoe dash guages-speedometer eratic, gives false reading and eventually gets stuck at 120 mph, reset by removing dic(dash instrument cluster) fuse and starting vehicle then replacing fuse (found this in a blog about this problem), fixes for unspecified amount of time before failing again. this is a known problem and should be mandatory recall by manufacture, as of now only a voluntary class action suite settlement to repair at 7 years or 70,000 miles. most units fail on, around or after this. this is a huge safety concern. i did not realize i was going over 70 mph in a 55 mph zone as my speedometer was reading 45 mph at this specific malfuction, i turned on my gps to verify because i felt i was going much faster than my speedometer was reading and the gps read over 70 mph!. please demand a recall for these acknowledged propblems by gm for 2003 thru 2007 model years! this is due to faulty guage motors installed by the maker. i contacted gm and they said recalls are governed by the state therefore it was not recalled and only repair at the specified date milage range in the service bulletin. this is a complete sham, the customer should not have to incur expense because of a known faulty item used in manufacturing. where is the accountabilty for these people?....please help! | |||

| Speedometer, tachometer, and oil pressure gauge on my 2005 chevy tahoe stopped working. all of them began to operate sporadically before they stopped completely stopped working. not only is it extremely dangerous for the speedometer to not work correctly, as it should, but it also leaves me to bear the burden of a financial loss of speeding tickets or any accidents that were caused by its failure. first, the oil pressure gauge stopped work, then the tachometer, and then the speedometer. all of them did the same thing when they stopped working, so i began to think there maybe a bigger problem. once i started doing some research on-line, i found there was a huge population of 2003-2005 gm vehicle owners affected by this defect. there obviously should have been a recall and probably some lawsuits as well. please help me. | |||
