Consumer Description

2003 TAHOE HAS A DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER - GM REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER THEIR "SPECIAL COVERAGE" BECAUSE THAT COVERAGE EXPIRED AT 80,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE IS SETUP WITH A TOW PACKAGE ALLOWING YOU TO TOW UP TO 7,000 POUNDS. IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW YOUR SPEED WHEN TOWING A TRAILER OR YOU CAN EASILY LOOSE CONTROL. MY SPEEDOMETER IS CURRENTLY STUCK AT 10 MILES PER HOUR. GM HAS DIAGNOSED AND STATED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS DEFECTIVE. GM DOES NOT CONSIDER A SPEEDOMETER TO BE A SAFETY DEVICE, BUT BECAUSE THEY PROMOTE THIS VEHICLE WITH A "TOW PACKAGE" SPEED BECOMES A MUCH MORE CRITICAL FACTOR IN VEHICLE OPERATION. *TR
