While driving my electrical gauges all went crazy and then quit one by one. I have only 2 left that work. My windshield wipers do not turn off and intermittent does not work on them. My hub on front tires keep needing replaced. They come lose to point of tire nearly falling off. My engine light came on and never turned off.

I had the wipers on because of rain storm, then the driver's side just stopped working. It was raining hard, had no visibility.

2004 tahoe (now 81,000 mi) - sticking/misreading speedometer. Problem first appeared infrequently approx 3 years ago. It now happens every time I drive after dark and over 65mpr (interstate travel). I have noticed that if anything else is in use at the moment (A/C, dvd player, passenger lighting, windshield wipers, dashlighting) the speedometer always sticks. Resetting it requires me to restart the vehicle (depending on where speedometer stuck) up to 20 times. (it resets 5 mpr at a time) I used to be able to pull the fuse and replace it for a quick fix, those days are long gone.

Well where should I begin, the first problem was the clunking of the front end when going in and out of driveways,the first steering shaft was replaced, a couple of months later the speedometer started making noise,that was replaced,then the clunking noise reappeared, this time it supposedly needed to be lubed, it was fine, however noise reappeared, then the second shaft was installed,the tire sensor light intermittently comes on when ever it feels like it, and tire pressure is normal, now the windshield wipers will not shut off when it rains except when you turn the vehicle off, however they come back on when you restart the car after hours of sitting, my wife is expecting our second child and also drive my 5 year old in this vehicle, this car is piece junk, gm needs to take back pride in there craftsmanship step up to the plate like there consumers did and fix this ?!@#$%! They need to extend there warranties because there cars do not last as they mislead you to believe!!!

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 chevrolet tahoe. While sitting at a stop light the speedometer read 100 MPH. The failure was not diagnosed by a dealer. When the windshield wipers were turned on they would not shut off until the vehicle was turned off. The current and failure mileages were 74,000.

The original equipment battery, AC delco 72 month battery cracked 26 months into the warranty spilling acid onto the washer fluid bottle mounted below the battery. The acid melted the o-rings in the pump assemble for the front and rear wipers causing a leak. The pump assembles have to be replaced at a cost of over $200. The vehicle is out of warranty and AC delco is not responsible for incidental damage. Someone should pay for repairs on my vehicle.
