2003 GMC TAHOE. SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
TL* - THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE REGISTERS 1/8 OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN TANK IS EMPTY. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS GIVEN TO INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF GAS. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE LEVEL SENSOR TWICE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN PARK WHEN IT IS DISCOVERED THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATES ONCE HE PUTS GAS IN THE VEHICLE IT STARTS RIGHT UP. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM.
MY 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. WHEN IT IS COLD, AND I START THE CAR UP IN THE MORNING, THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPS UP, AND SAYS THE SPEED IS ABOUT 10 MPH. ONCE I START DRIVING, IT QUICKLY JUMPS UP IN EXCESS OF 120 MPH, AND OFF THE CHARTS. THEN WHEN COMING BACK DOWN TO IDLE, IT SITS ANYWHERE FROM 60 MPH - 90 MPH. TO CLEAR THIS BACK TO ZERO, AND GET IT TO SEEM LIKE IT IS WORKING PROPERLY, I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN, AND THEN IT JUMPS DOWN 10 MPH EACH TIME IT TURNS BACK ON. SO I HAVE TO DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED ON THANKSGIVING, AND THEN AGAIN TODAY. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AMON GM VEHICLE OWNERS, WITH TAHOES, YUKON'S, AVALANCES, AND OTHER CHEVROLET/GMC TRUCKS/SUV'S. THE CHEVROLET DEALERS SAY THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS TO BE REPLACED, AND PARTS AND LABOR FOR THIS, SEEMS TO BE ANYWHERE FROM $350 - $700+. WITH SUCH A WIDESPREAD REPORT OF THIS PROBLEM, GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS, AND STOP MAKING PEOPLE PAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *JB
