!st accurrence just over 36000 miles --speedometer would read faster by about 20 MPH driv iving it has done this numerous time, s but I found if turning key on and off a few times it would be alright for a few weeks . Seemed worse in cold and damp weather. Now, at 60000 miles the speedometer will not correct itself and was stuck at 25 MPH faster then was traveling ---- dealer wanted $500 to fix this. I saw where numerous people had the same problem. This should be fixed by the company as it was a safety problem. Thank you for your time .
2004 Chevrolet Tahoe acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 27 of 27, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 2004 chevy tahoe z71. The speedometer recently quit working. The mileage keeps accumulating but the speed does not show. I know of several other owners with the same problem. This would seem to be a huge safety concern. The chevy dealer tells me the fix is about 200 dollars and they must keep the car for up to a week to send the module back to factory. I can assume most people are like me and cannot do without a car for a week which makes this an issue of a lot of these models on the road without any idea how fast they are going. Is there any history of this on record or recalls. Thanks randy
I have a 2004 chevy tahoe and in november of 2006 the speedometer started acting odd. Sometimes it would be on a speed when I was sitting still other times it would be at zero whe I was driving and now it is stuck at zero. Apparently, this is not an isolated incident for this vehicle as I have seen numerous complaints about this problem with many other gmc vehicles in this model year. I currently have my truck in a shop to get this repaired but I would hope with the number of complaints that gmc would do the right thing and initiate a recall.
2004 chevrolet tahoe, speedometer registered incorrect speed and slowly stopped working. I called the chevrolet dealer, and they knew exactly what was wrong, and told me it would cost $500.00 to fix it. I asked them about recalls since my brother had the same vehicle and it was doing the same thing. They told me there were no recalls. After several weeks I decided to go ahead and have the repair done. I had it fixed last week and was charged $500.00. Ak
2004 chevrolet tahoe . Speedometer sticks at 70 MPH, then decreases to 40 MPH and ultimitely falls to 0 MPH even thoughthe cruise control is set at 70 MPH. Other times the speedometer works fine for a while until the vehicle slows down, then it drops to 0mph, although the vehicle is moving.ak
Speedometer is not functioning correctly in my 2004 chevy tahoe.
Tl*- the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet tahoe with an odometer reading of 80000 miles. The contact noticed that when driving for a long period of time and coming to a complete stop then start moving again the speedometer will stay at zero. The contact stated that the only way to get the speedometer to work again was to turn the vehicle off, then let it sit for a moment and restart. This problem made the contact run out of gas several times since the gas gauge did not working properly, the oil gauge wasincorrect as well. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer, and they told him that the instrument panel needed to be replaced.
Tl* the contact stated while driving his 2004 chevrolet tahoe at 70 MPH and using the cruise control and after he coming to a complete stop, the speedometer read 48 MPH. While accelerating the speedometer increased to 120 MPH and was inconsistent with the speed he was driving. The contact has an appointment scheduled for repair.
Speedometer is not registering correct speed. Started reading inaccurately and now does not read at all. Our 2004 chevy tahoe is being taken to the dealership to be repaired. Vehicle considered out of warranty due to miles and did not purchase extended warranty.
Speedometer suddenly jumped up 20 MPH. With car off, says its going 20 MPH. 2004 chevy tahoe. Very dangerous, almost caused an accident looking down and slamming on the brakes. Car only has 48000 miles.
Speedometer stopped working totally.
I drive a 2004 tahoe ls. I am a salesman and drive quite a bit and have racked up around 95,000 miles to this day. While driving, about a year ago, I noticed my speedometer acting erratically. The needle would jump or lurch past each number as it ascended through the numbers on the speedometer. It was more noticeable in the 55 to 75mph range. The speed was still accurate so I viewed it as a non-issue. However, as time went on the accuracy began to degrade as I started noticing the speedometer would stop at 40 MPH while I was driving highway speeds. The degradation has continued up to now where I am lucky if the needle even moves off of 0 MPH. When the needle does move it freezes at about 15 MPH forcing me to guess at my speed by monitoring the tachometer. This is a pretty dangerous situation and I would like to assume gm would look to remedy this situation quickly. The alternative is for the consumer to foot the bill of a $500-$1100 repair cost for a manufacturer's defect as many dealers already know that the "cluster needs to be replaced". This is a well-documented issue for gms built in the 2003 to 2005 model years which we, as consumers who have already invested at least $40,000 on these vehicles, need to see remedied. P.s. The 07 ford expedition and expedition el appear to be very nice
2004 chevy tahoe-speedometer acting erratic. First notice problem while driving on the freeway doing 70 MPH,then applied brakes to slow down and the speedometer went down to 30 MPH. I came back to 70 MPH, so I thought ,but traffic was passing me up like if they were doing 100 MPH. In reality I was doing about 50 MPH. Next day it was working fine,but now the speedometer is jerky. Reading chevy tahoe forums a lot of people are having the same problems and after a few days of the jerky speedometer the speedometer completely goes out. This needs to be recalled.
I just purchased a 2004 chevrolet tahoe z71 with 29854 miles on it. Today while driving on the freeway the odometer stopped functioning correctly. While driving 70 MPH the odometer was reading 20 MPH. Then while driving 45 MPH it was reading between 10-20 MPH. I read through the other complaints and found 3 that seemed to be having the same problem. I just lucked out by finding this web site and wonder how many other people are having the same problem. This appears to be a safety defect in the vehicle. I have a 36/36 bumper to bumper warranty and monday plan on calling the dealer to bring it in to have it repaired under the warranty. This should be a recall since it appears to be happening to several vehicles.
Dt*: the contact stated while starting the vehicle it lurches forward six inches to one foot. This only occurs while the vehicle is parked. The dealer determined this was a common problem with this year, make, and mode,l but did not offer a remedy.
Whenever I try to accelerate the car does not respond. This is a safety issue, for example when I try to merge on to the freeway. Chevy stated that the car is performing as it should. I have driven other identical cars, that do not have the same problem. But they refuse to fix the safety issue.ui.
When braking/acclerating there would be vibration in the pedal linkages. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
