| Speedometer stopped working or will display false speeds from 0 while driving on highway to 120 while driving on surface streets. while researching this problem i have found many other 2005 chevy tahoe owners experiencing the same problem. | |||

| I have a 2005 tahoe which i bought new. about 5-6 months ago my speedometer went out. i didn't have the funds at the time and let it go even though i felt it was a safety issue. i received no letter from gm that they were having this problem until today. i brought my car into my local goodtear place and they were going to charge me hundreds of dollars to fix it. my sister, who had worked at gm, had me call the chevolet dealership jack burford in richmond, kentucy. they said they'd give me a new cluster but that i would have to pay for the labor ($130), i then called gn at 800-222-1020 and talked with a woman named iya. she told me that they did not have a recall on that issue but a special policy. also, it was good only for cars with less than 80,000 miles. mine has 97,000. they're still going to fix it though but it makes me upset that they didn't notify me about this problem and that i have to pay for the labor. the policy apparently went into effect in 2005, when i puchased the vehicle and expires in july, 2012. i wonder if other people have had this problem and, if so, since this is potentially a safety issue, should the cars be recalled? thank you. | |||

| I own a 2005 chevy tahoe. the speedometer stops working in the middle of the road and starts showing wrong speeds. this is a serious security issue as you suddenly lost in the middle of traffic because you do not know how fast you are travelling. i was checking online and there are thousands of such complaints. i think dot should seriously look into this issue as a safety issue. | |||

| While driving through town the speedometer on my tahoe was saying i was going 90 mph. after cycling the key on and off several times it was working correctly, then while traveling down the interstate the speedometer quit working completly being stuck on 67 mph no matter what speed i was going, causing me to get flipped off several times by fellow drivers. eventually the needle started moving again but said i was going 120 when i was going 60 on my gps. | |||

| The tahoe was parked as usual and the speedometer is stuck in the 10mph when off and when at a stop. dealer says it is a malfunction and it is not covered by them and the carge is $450+ to have it replaced! to me this is a huge safety concern, speed is never accurate. this is the 5th time this problem has occurred. everytime i take it in to the dealer they tell me that nothing is wrong with the cluster. i was having the problem last night so i took it in this morning while it was malfunctioning so they could see it. the dealer wants me to pay them $115 for them to tell me that there was something wrong with it and that they will not cover it! i want to know how i can resolve this issue and have them replace it at no cost to me. *tr | |||

| 2005 chevrolet tahoe 60,000 miles. speedometer erratic for a few weeks and now shows anywhere from 30-120 mph sitting still. taking it to dealer today. on the phone they quoted me $450 to replace instrument cluster. no deal. on one website alone there were over 600 pages of complaints about this problem. definite safety issue!! chevrolet does not fix this free of charge then this will be my last gm product ever.*ak | |||
| VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL - ACCELERATOR PEDAL | |||

| Stepped on gas pedal and it stuck causing acceleration. eventually slowed down. upon inspection by mechanic, it was found that a spring on gas pedal had become dislodged. one end of the spring is straight (like a pin) and it had stuck into the floor carpet, eventually releasing itself. this is a faulty design and very dangerous. gm has been notified and the vehicle was inspected by chevrolet dealer but they will not do anything about it. this could get someone killed. *tr | |||
