2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Complaint Log

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW DETACHED FROM THE FRAME. IF THE GLASS FROM THE WINDOW WOULD HAVE SHATTERED THEN THE SHARP FRAGMENTS OF GLASS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY. THE VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 57 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS THE SPEED ODOMETER DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 116,671. BL UPDATED 10/5/09 *CN UPDATED 10/07/09

THE 2ND ROW SEATS WILL NOT OPEN, PREVENTING ACCESS TO THE 3RD ROW SEATS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN B/C IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY THE 3RD ROW PASSENGERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THE CABLE MECHANISM THAT OPENS THE 2ND ROW SEATS IS DEFECTIVE.

REAR & THIRD ROW SEATING SEAT BELTS DO NOT ATTACH ALL THE TIME PROPER & OUTER CASING OF RECEIVING END FALLS APART FOR NO REASON. *TR

WE NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE BATTERY WAS LOSING CHARGE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAD ALTERNATOR AND STARTER CHECKED BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM. DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER CAUSE COULDN'T AFFORD IT THE COMPUTER ANALYZING COST. LOOKED UP ON COMPUTER AND IN 2009 THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE "CLUSTER" OF THE 2003 TAHOE AND WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED. CHEVROLET NOW SAYS THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED. WE DID NOT CHANGE ADDRESSES AT ALL DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. (I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND WITH A 2003 TAHOE AND SHE DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE OF RECALL EITHER AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS). WHAT DO I DO ABOUT GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED WITHOUT IT COSTING ME A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. IF THEY KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES THEY SHOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE HAS A VEHICLE WITH A PROBLEM AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. *TR

IHAVE A 2003 CHEVY TAHOEWITH LESS THAN 41,000 MILES ON IT. SPEEDOMETER DOESNT WORK ,STOCK TO 120 MPH. I HEARD THAT SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ABOUT THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL CALLED CHEVY/GMC AND ADMIT THAT CERTAIN VINS HAD DEFECTIVE CLUSTER(INCLUDING MINE)YET THEY WILL NOT RECALL OR REPLACE UNLESS THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON IT,BUT I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY DONT ADMIT ABOUT THIS BUT INSTEAD THEY SUGGEST TO BRING MY TRUCK TO A DEALER TO DIAGNOSE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH MY OWN EXPENSES.RIGHT NOW IVE BEEN LAID OFF FROM MY JOB,CANT EVEN PAY MY MORTGAGE,BILLS.HE.........LLPPPPPPP. *TR

I PURCHASED A 03 CHEVY TAHOE THAT CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES. RECENTLY, MY SPEEDOMETER INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING. I NOTICE IT HAPPENED ONCE ON A TRIP OUT OF STATE, NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING MY RADIO CHANGING STATIONS ON ITS OWN AT THE START UP OF MY VEHICLE. I ALSO HAVE THE LEFT THERMOSTAT ADJUSTER LIGHTING THAT WENT OUT ABOUT THE SAME TIME MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED ACTING UP. *TR

THE SPEED GAUGE WAS STRUCK ON 10 THAN 20 IT STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER ABOUT TWO MONTHS GO. IAM GOING TO GET IT FIX. *TR

HINGE SEPARATED FROM WINDOW AND CAUSED THE REAR WINDOW TO SHATTER. *TR

MY 2003 TAHOE LT HAS A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. THE LIGHT ON MY PANEL DISPLAYED THIS WHEN MY CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 80K MILES. I REPORTED THIS TO CARRIAGE MOTORS IN TEMECULA, CA. THEY REFUSED TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT CHEVROLET FACTORY COST. I AGAIN TURNED IN MY TAHOE, TODAY, MAY 11, 2009, AND THE SHOP MANAGER FRANK SPIZER REFUSED TO HAVE THIS FIXED BUT INSTEAD OFFERED ME 20% OFF A REPAIR COST OF $699.00 I REFUSED THIS DISCOUNT AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT SINCE MY 2003 TAHOE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR THE AIR BAG TO FAIL LIKE THIS. I WANT FOR GM TO PAY FOR THIS AND TO ISSUE A RECALL TO ALL TAHOE OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS SAME MALADY. THE MANAGER OF THE AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET REPAIR SERVICE AT CARRIAGE MOTORS IS FRANK SPIZER, (951) 694-6060. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE ON 2003 CHEVY TAHOE. SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. SPEED REGISTERS 60-80 MPH FASTER THAN ACTUAL SPEED. CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND HAS A "PROGRAM" TO REPLACE ON VEHICLES UP TO 80K MILES ONLY (INCREASED FROM PREVIOUS 70K MILES). THIS REPLACEMENT SHOULD APPLY TO ALL AFFECTED TAHOES, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE, AS IT COULD PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD AND CERTAINLY PRESENTS A VEHICLE INSPECTION PROBLEM. THE SPEED READING PROBLEM OCCURS DAILY, WITH EACH DRIVE. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT ,OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO ,BUT HAD NO MOTOR SYMPTOMS.ALSO 3 CHIMES RANG.WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HISTORY OF REPAIRS AND PREVIOUS CODES. THANK YOU. [XXX] PLEASE EMAIL TO ME OR I CAN DOWNLOAD FROM MY P/C INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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! REFERENCE BLOGS AND GM CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AT: HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F11F710/159 AND ALSO AT HTTP://WWW.LROLAW.COM/PDF/GMSPEED.PDF. *TR

SPEEDOMETER IN 2003 TAHOE FAILING TO GIVE ACCURATE SPEED. SPEED DOES NOT REGISTER AT ALL SOMETIMES. NEEDLE TO SPEEDOMETER IS "JERKY" WHEN IT DOES WORK. HAVE NOT HAD REPAIRED YET BECAUSE I WAS SEARCHING OUT POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT NUMEROUS TAHOE OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THE MANUFACTURER IS ADMITTING THERE IS A PROBLEM THEM WHY SHOULD "WE" HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. ESPECIALLY AFTER DISCOVERING THE COST ( FROM $500-$575). PLEASE HELP! *TR

SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT REGISTERED GOING 100MPH WHEN ONLY GOING APPROX 40. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS CHARGED $515. *TR

SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE NO LONGER WORKING. DRIVING ONE DAY AND NEEDLE STARTED TO SHOW SPEED FASTER THAN WHAT I WAS GOING. NEEDLE IS NOW JUST POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN. *TR

BOUGHT VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY OF 2009 USED AFTER DRIVING TRUCK FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS WE REALIZED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT MOVING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THEN AFTER THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD MOVE UP IN SPEED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES BUT THEN STAY AT THE 30MPH WHEN STOPPED ONCE THE CAR WOULD BEGIN MOVING AGAIN THE SPEED WOULD CONTINUE TO GO UP FROM THE 30MPH MARK RESULTING IN THE SPEEDOMETER READING 60MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY ONLY GOING 30MPH. THIS HAS CONTINUED EVERY DAY SINCE IT WAS NOTICED SO WHEN DRIVING THE CAR YOU NEVER KNOW HOW FAST THE CAR IS ACTUALLY TRAVELING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE GAUGES FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAGE AND IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 08/12/14*LJ GM INFORMED THE CONSUMER, SINCE HE WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 08/14/14

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE AND THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I HAVE TO CHANGE THE CLUSTER WHICH IS BAD, THIS WILL COST $500. IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUSTER ON THESE VEHICLES, I EVEN RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM OFFERING A REPLACEMENT IF IT FAILED BEFORE 70K MILES, AT THE TIME I HAD 80K MILES AND HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE CLUSTER, HOWEVER IT DID FAIL AT 98K MILES. IF THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM SHOULDN'T THEY FIX IT WITHOUT LIMITATIONS ON MILEAGE. I ALSO HAVE A STEERING COLUMN SHAFT THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, THIS WILL COST $250. I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED IT, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE WERE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS PART. THE FIRST FIX WAS TO CHANGE THE SHAFT, WHICH THEY DID, THEN THE SECOND ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM WAS TO GREASE THE SHAFT AND THEN WHEN THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THEIR ISSUES THE CURRENT ANSWER IS TO CHANGE THE SHAFT AGAIN. KEEP IN MIND THIS WAS THEIR SERIES OF SOLUTIONS TO THIS ISSUE ON MULTIPLE VEHICLES, IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER OF MY CHEVY TAHOE 2003 DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECT SPEED. *TR

JAN 24, 09 VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING N ON CO 145, PREPARING TO TURN LEFT ONTO CO 184. DRIVER HEARD A "POP" IN THE STEERING COLUMN. WHEN SHE BEGAN THE TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. SHE THEN PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY STOP AND CAME TO REST NEAR A GUARDRAIL IN AN ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. SHE BACKED THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE OPPOSING LANE AND TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL THEN RELEASED AND SHE WAS ABLE TO TURN ONTO 184 AND EXIT THE ROADWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL ANTI-THEFT LOCK NO LONGER OPERATES, AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS DEVICE HAS FAILED. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT PIECES FROM THIS DEVICE BECAME LODGED IN ROTATING PARTS OF THE STEERING SYSTEM. *TR

AROUND MID OCTOBER OF 2008 I FINANCED THE VEHICLE THROUGH A LOT CALLED AUTO CONCEPTS IN JACKSONVILLE NORTH CAROLINA AND THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED RAISING TO 30 MPH SITTING STILL AROUND LATE JANUARY OF 2009 AND IT WILL GO ALL OVER THE METER ACCEPT WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. I WILL REFUSE TO MAKE ANY PAYMENTS FOR SPEEDING TICKETS AS LONG AS I AM FOLLOWING WITH SURROUNDING VEHICLES UNTIL MY SPEEDOMETER GETS FIXED. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 03 CHEVY TAHOE RANDOMLY GOES UP TO 10 MPH AND STAYS THERE. THE ONLY WAY TO BRING IT BACK DOWN IS TO SHUT OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. IT DROPS 5 MPH EACH TIME YOU RESTART IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE. SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT AT 94,000 MILES. GM IS AWARE OF FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANEL. WON'T REPLACE PART, AT THEIR COST, DUE TO 7 YEAR/70,000 MILE LIMITATION. *TR

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE LT TRUCK, EXPERIENCED DIFFERENT SPEEDS ACCORDING TO THE SPEEDOMETER. AT ONE POINT IT SAID I WAS GOING 130 MPH WHEN I WAS PARKED. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I ALSO STARTED TO NOTICE THE OTHER GAUGES, FLUCTUATE. I WAS TOLD BY GM TO GET IT FIXED BY A AUTHORIZED DEALER. I GOT THE REPAIR DONE FOR 491.00. I THEN CALLED GM BACK, AND THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE FIX, BECAUSE I WAS "OVER THE 70000" MILE LIMIT. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS FOR A WHILE I HAD NO SPEEDOMETER AT ALL OR ENGINE TEMP OR TACH. CHEVY REFUSED TO TALK TO ME AND SIMPLY TOLD ME IT WAS MY PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AT GM AND THEY ALL TOLD ME DIFFERENT STORIES AND REFUSED TO LISTEN AND CALL ME BACK. I AM NOW STUCK WITH THE BILL AND GM DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN ONE BIT. *TR

SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY INCREASE NOT INDICATING THE CORRECT SETTINGS. *TR

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. FUEL GAUGE HAD BEEN INACCURATE SINCE DAY ONE - THOUGHT THIS WAS MY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. JOE HOLLAND CHEVROLET REPLACED CLUSTER ON 1-21-08. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM WITH FUEL GAUGE. ON OR NEAR 12-31-08, ENGINE HOUR METER ZEROED ITSELF AND STARTED OVER. WENT TO JOE HOLLAND ON 1-6-09 - EXPLAINED PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THE PERSON I NEEDED TO TALK TO WAS NOT THERE. THEY WOULD HAVE HIM CALL ME. NO ONE CALLED. WHEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP ON 1-14-09. SAME STORY - PERSON I NEEDED TO TALK TO NOT THERE. THEY WILL HAVE HIM CALL. JIM BARNHART CALLED LATER THAT DAY. HE SAID THE COST TO CHECK THIS OUT IS $75.00. IF PROBLEM IS IN CLUSTER, THEY MAY BE ABLE TO GET THE FIX REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. IF PROBLEM IS IN ANY OTHER COMPONENT, I MUST PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND FOR ANY OTHER REPAIRS THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED. *TR

2003 TAHOE SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORKS PROPERLY. I WILL BE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND SPEEDOMETER READS 100MPH. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT CHEVY IS AWARE OF BUT REFUSES TO FIX. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE, THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK, FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, ALSO IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT GM IS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IS NOT WILL TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, LIKE MANY OTHERS I FELL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE, ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU! *TR

~6 MONTHS AGO, MY SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE WENT TO 120MPH AND STAYED THERE. I AM UNABLE TO TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING AND NOW MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE HAS MAXED OUT. I HAD 105K MILES ON IT AT THE START OF THE ISSUE. *TR

2003 CHEVY TAHOE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. *TR

SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY - SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH DEFECT. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, WAS ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE HAD TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE HAD TO START TURNING PEOPLE AWAY. THEY WANT $500.00 TO FIX PROBLEM BUT ADMIT THAT THIS IS DEFECT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE DEALER STATED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED BEFORE IT FAILED COMPLETELY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 47,261. UPDATED 12/16/08 *CN UPDATED 12/18/0*JB

IN ADDITION, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRES CONTAINED A LARGE BULGE. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,300 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,600.

IN NOV OF 2008 WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER. TOOK IT TO OUR DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE IPC AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, AFTER WE GOT THE TAHOE BACK WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AS WELL. THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMES JERKY AND IF WE USE THE CRUISE THE TAHOE SPEEDS UP AND WE HAVE TO TURN CRUISE OFF TO STOP IT FROM SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL. ALSO WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMES JERKY THE SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM ALARM GOES OFF AFTER IT MAKES IT HARD TO STOP. (WE HAVE ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE SEVERAL TIMES.)RECENTLY 12-2009 OUR SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TAHOE TO OUR DEALER AND REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE THESE PROBLEMS GO AWAY. PLEASE HELP AS WE HAVE THREE KIDS AND ONE ON THE WAY. THE PARTS WE HAVE REPLACED ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE FRONT BRAKE SENSOR AND HUB, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER, EBC ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE AND THE FUEL FILTER. WHICH IS EVERYTHING RECOMMENDED BY OUR DEALER. I JUST WANT IT FIXED!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE. IN THE SUMMER OF 2008, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A GMC VOLUNTARY RECALL PERTAINING TO THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS, WHICH REPORTED OIL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE RECALL APPLIED TO VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE IT EXCEEDS THE MILEAGE REQUIREMENTS. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 115,000.

ON OCTOBER 20, 2008 AT ABOUT 11:21AM ON PALI HIGH WAY TOWN BOUND THERE WAS WEED WHACKING IN THE CENTER MEDIAN AND I HEARD A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A ROCK HITTING MY WINDSHIELD AND I SAW A SMALL SPIDERWEB CRACK ON THE BOTTOM OF MY WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 1" BY 1". WHAT STEPS DO I TAKE TO FIX MY WINDSHIELD AND/OR GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS. *TR

SPEEDOMETER INTERMITTENTLY READS 60/100 WHILE PARKED, OR READS 10-20 WHILE GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY QUITS WORKING. SOMETIMES IT SAYS MY CAR IS GOING 0 MPH WHEN IT IS CLEARLY IN MOTION. OTHER TIMES IT SAYS IT IS GOING 70 MPH WHEN IT IS IN PARK. THE TROUBLE IS I HAVE TO GUESS WHAT SPEED I REALLY AM GOING AND HOPE I AM CORRECT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE OCTOBER OF 2008. CURRENTLY I'VE NOT HAD IT FIXED BECAUSE MY MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN IT WAS IN THE SHOP. *TR

SPEEDOMETER WORKS ERRATICALLY, FALSE SPEED READING OR COMPLETELY STOPS WORKING. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE IN AUG 2003. THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED GOING HAYWIRE IN THE PAST MONTH AROUND 60-65000 MILES. IT STICKS, JUMPS, AND READS SOMETIMES 30 MPH OFF. IT WILL EVEN ERAD 10MPH WHEN STOPPED. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 400+ TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND GMC SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET A FEW MONTHS AGO, SAYING I WAS SPEEDING AND I EXPLAINED TO THE OFFICER I WAS NOT AND OF COURSE I STILL LOST THIS CONVERSATION. SO NOW I HAVE TO GAUGE MYSELF WITH TRAFFIC TO KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. I WILL TAKE IT IN TO GET FIXED THIS WEEK, SINCE I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN, I CANT AFFORD AN ACCIDENT OR ANY MORE TICKETS. I HOPE CHEVY WILL REIMBURSE ME. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE HAD BEEN STICKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM MOTORS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER THE SINCE MY VEHICLE FELL OUTSIDE OF THE " APPROVED MILEAGE". I WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER OWNER OF A SIMILAR VEHICLES, WAS TOLD TO MAKE A COMPLAIN BECAUSE THE SUITE SHOULD COVER THE PART FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH I HOPE IS NOT 70K MILES, BECAUSE THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY TO PAY FOR A VEHICLE THAT ONLY HAS A LIFE SPAN OF 70K MILES. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE Z71 TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE AT ALL AFTER THE INCIDENT. VEHICLE HAD APPROX. 70,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP. I STILL HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. GM DEALER NOR THE CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A ISSUE ON THE TAHOE. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A MAIN ROAD WITH SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC - IT HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. 4L60 TRANSMISSION. *TR

RADIO/ 6 DISC SYSTEM I CAN'T LOAD OR UNLOAD MY CD'S IT PLAYS WHEN IT WANTS TO. *TR

ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND A MESSAGE APPEARED SAYING "SERVICE AIR BAG". WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND IT SAID THAT WHOLE AIR BAG SYSTEM HAD FAILED (SEVERAL SENSORS HAD FAILED). WE CALLED CHEVY TO SEE IF IT MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE FIXED WITH A WARRANTY, BUT THEY SAID THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. (WE KNEW THIS, BUT FIGURED THERE SHOULD BE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON AIRBAGS.) THEY TOLD US TO TAKE IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. WE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US IT WOULD COST $100 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. HOWEVER, WE ALREADY DID THIS WITH OUR OTHER MECHANIC. CHEVY BASICALLY WOULDN'T HELP US UNLESS WE PAID FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC WHICH IS RIDICULOUS SINCE WE ALREADY DID THAT. THE GUY AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT WE COULD DRIVE AROUND, NO PROBLEM, BUT THAT THE AIR BAGS WOULDN'T DEPLOY. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR MECHANIC THAT IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX THIS. WE THINK IT IS UNFAIR THAT WE HAVE TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED, WHEN THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS WITH THIS CAR. THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED, AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE SYSTEM WON'T WORK IF WE NEED IT AND GET IN AN ACCIDENT. WE'RE ASKING FOR HELP TO GET CHEVY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY SHOULD. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL LAWSUIT IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP US TO GET CHEVY TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN ERROR THAT HAPPENED DURING THE BUILDING OF THE CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT TURNED THE IGNITION KEY JUST ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE THE RADIO. SHE THEN HEARD A POPPING NOISE FROM THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER COMPONENT AND SMELLED SMOKE. THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER WAS RELEASED FROM THE SOCKET AND A SMALL FIRE ERUPTED FROM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 80,053. UPDATED 10/14/08 *BF UPDATED 10/15/08. *JB

SEPTEMBER 2008 MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING. ITS STUCK ON 100MPH. HAD THE GM DEALER DO A DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY TOLD ME THE CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT IF MY MILEAGE WAS UNDER 70,000 GM WOULD REPLACE IT FOR NO COST TO ME. MY 2003 TAHOE HAS OVER 70,000 AND LESS THAN A WEEK AGO THE OIL GAUGE QUIT WORKING. THE GM DEALER WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR ME UNLESS I PAY THE $500 FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS TURNING INTO A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE GM DEALER SAID THAT EVENTUALLY THE OTHER GAUGES WILL GO IF I DON'T GET THIS FIXED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 TO 70 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING OF 100 MPH. THE SPEED FLUCTUATED REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL SPEED THAT THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY 2003 TAHOE'S SPEEDOMETER FAILED LESS THAN 5 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THE CAR HAS 95000 MILES ON IT. CHEVROLET RECOGNIZES THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SPEEDOMETER FAILURES. MY SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW 60 MPH AT A STANDSTILL AND SHOW VARIOUS SPEEDS WHILE MOVING. CHEVROLET ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM BUT CUT OFF COVERAGE AT 70000 MILES OR 7 YEARS. THIS ITEM SHOULD BE A SAFETY RELATED RECALL REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE SINCE IT IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT THEY WILL ONLY PARTIALLY ADMIT TO. *TR

I OWN A 2003 CHEVY TAHOE. ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET BECAUSE THE OFFICER SAID I WAS GOING 5 MILES OVER SPEED LIMIT. I RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE. I CALLED ALOCAL GM DEALER WHO GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF 500 DOLLARS. HE SAID HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS BUT WOULDN'T TELL ME THE PROBLEM. I KNOW OF AT LEAST 4 OTHER GM OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED FOR 8 MONTHS AND CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
