Speedometer failed intermittently for a period of about six months then stopped working all together. I am told by dealer and other suburban owners that this is a common occurrence.
2003 Chevrolet Suburban acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Speedodometer on my 2003 chevrolet suburban is failing. I have inquired the dealer about a recall, repair, without success. I have read that the speed odometer has been failing for many gm owners but gm will not recall the defective odometer.
Speedometer quits registering speed of vehicle at times, the odometer continues to work. Next time driving vehicle speedometer works. Dealer said this is a very common occurrence and eventually the speedometer will quit and I will have to buy a new one. I do feel that a non working speedometer is a safety issue.
Dt*: the contact stated the speedometer and tachometer stopped working without prior warning. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer. Although the dealer did not inspect or repair the vehicle the mechanic determined the speedometer cluster gear failed and would need to be replaced. *ak updated 01/25/06.
Dt: contact stated while driving the speedometer malfunctioned, and at different speeds it stuck. This occurred more frequently when it was hot outside or when the cluster panel heated up.
