Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The speedometer is stuck at 80 miles per hour. The process to fix the vehicle requires them to take the part off ship it to dallas or houston (min 3 days w/o vehicle). Repairers have been behind (min 1 week w/o vehicle). According to my service provider they have 5 others waiting for the same type of worked to be performed. If there are 5 people waiting to have their speedometer repaired (at the same time) sounds like a consistent problem. I don't know how one sticks their speedometer.”
NHTSA complaint #10149316, filed 2006-02, 49,000 miles“I have a 2004 Gmc yukon with 46,000 miles and the speedometer has started sticking at random points on the gauge. Sitting still with the key off the speedometer can read 10, 50 or even 70 MPH. At the moment the problem appears to be intermittent, and I have researched this, and found it is a common problem with the chevrolet tahoe, the same truck as I have except labeled as a chevrolet . A replacement from GM is more than $500, including their installation and recalibrating. I find this to be very concerning for a car that is only 3 years old to have such a serious problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10190017, filed 2007-05, 43,000 miles“Cluster dashboard fails to light up when the key turns on the vehicle. None is the dashboard indicators move or light up, not able to see speed, miles, gas gage, etc. It takes 40 minute into a drive before it turns on randomly.”
