Consumer Description

RECENTLY PURCHASED (3 DAYS AGO) A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND BOTH MY WIFE AND I NOTICED ERRATIC BEHAVIOR FROM SPEEDOMETER. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON A 2004 TAHOE, WE REALIZED THAT THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING. THE SPEEDOMETER "STICKS" AT DIFFERENT POINTS WHILE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING, I WISH TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE VIA RECALL. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD ISSUE A FULL RECALL ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. A SIMPLE "SPECIAL SITUATION" WARRANTY IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. GM MUST ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS VERY WIDELY EXPERIENCED PROBLEM. THEY ALSO SAID THAT ALTHOUGH MY MILEAGE WAS ONLY 2000 MILES OVER THE "70,000" MILE MARK, THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! GM...DO THE RIGHT THING!
