Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Speedometer was acting erratically almost as thought it was ticking rather than moving smoothly this starting happening around 10/14/06. As of 10/25/06 speedometer quit working and when car is stopped or turned off will show I am going 10 MPH. Have not had a chance to fix. I have done web searcches and their appears to be no fix as of yet from individuals with identical scenarios.”
NHTSA complaint #10171908, filed 2006-10, 47,400 miles“I have a 2003 chevy z71 tahoe with 56,000 miles on it and the speedometer is hanging and giving me the wrong speeds. This is a major safety issue and have noticed that this is a common issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10175149, filed 2006-12, 56,000 miles“(2003 Chevrolet tahoe) speedometer sticks around 70 or stops working while driving long distances 2 or more highway hours away. Turning the engine off for a short period of time allows the speedometer to resume its normal function just to duplicate the malfunction. I have since received a letter detailing the above stated problem from Chevrolet that the local dealerships will not honor because my vehicle is over the mileage stated in the letter when my first complaints over a year ago would have been under the mileage stipulation. …”
NHTSA complaint #10212987, filed 2007-12, 68,500 miles“Speedometer jerky . Finally quits all together after a short period of time each time you drive. Goes completely to 0 and must use tachometer for speed approximation.”
NHTSA complaint #10176622, filed 2006-12, 55,000 miles“We had a faulty speedometer reading going what seemed to be 85mph down the 395 while our speedometer read 30mph. When the pin finally read 0 MPH for about 5 minutes (actual rate of speed was approx. 30mph) it reset and was back to normal. We are now in the process of replacing the part. Not sure if gmc will cover the repair.”
