Instrument gauge cluster on 2004 tahoe with is not working, causing all gauges, including speedometer, to fail . Oil gauge failed in jan. 09 and in the last two months the other gauges have gradually failed, with the speedometer failing yesterday (3-9-10). Gm will not pay because mileage is over 70,000 even though the vehicle has a defective part, as indicated by the VIN number in the "recall" list.
Tachometer works sometimes, and just today the speedometer quit working. It shows 30 MPH at stop sign or parked, even when engine is off. While driving slow, it reads upwards of 120 MPH.
Speedometer suddenly stopped working. We replaced the speedometer sensor and disconnected the battery to reset. Speedometer began to work again. However, air conditioner began working improperly by only blowing out defrost. A few days later started blowing out of front vents, but will not blow out of 2nd or 3rd row vents. A week later speedometer stopped working again.
It started with the RPM hand jumping around. Then all of a sudden one day the speedometer started reading the wrong mileage. I received a letter in the mail and it said I could get it fix if I was at a certain mileage, but I was over it. I guess my real complaint is if it is defective (and it is) why does it have a mileage stipulation on it. It is unsafe for my family and I and the public. This is something that is not the consumers fault and the company should be held responsible.
Oil pressure gauge was not reading correctly. Dash board gauge cluster stopped working.
Speedometer problem - erratic.
Faulty traction active system due to corrosion of sensors on 2004 chevy tahoe. I had vehicle in dealership and computer scan reads no error codes however traction active system kicks in at low speeds especially when making turns. If you check with dealerships or look at the complaints on the internet for problems with the traction active system problem you will see numerous problems with this on tahoe's suburban's and other gm vehicles however no recalls..it is a faulty defective system produced by gm and they will not own up to it..when someone gets severely injured by the faulty equipment gm will pay the price...
We suffered three sidewall blowouts on our fifth-wheel travel trailer in one trip. The trailer was weight with only clothes for a four-day trip and 50 gallons of freshwater. The weather was in the 80's and we were traveling on the proper tire pressure at only 55 MPH and had been on the road for only 2 hours when the right rear trailer tire blew w/o warning. The tire quickly began to shread its self and did over $800 dollars in damager to the side and underneath of the trailer. Four days later on our return trip home, we suffered two more blowouts. Under the same conditions, the right front tire blewout the sidewall. After changing it, we got just ten minutes down the road and a left side tire began to develop a soccerball size buldge and blew before I could even get to the side of the road.
The tires on 2004 tahoe fifth wheel made contact with the frame structure. On the first trip, we smelled burning rubber and discovered the decking was 2 inches lower on the right side of the 5th wheel. Took rv to dealer who called thor california. We have contacted a jerry pallarus and sent digital pictures to thor. They have said an engineer must be consulted and will be in contact with us when the engineer returns from vacation. We have parked our rv in storage and will not haul it due to safety concerns and possible liability. We purchased the tahoe 27wtb fw on april 28, 2004. *ak *mr e problem was caused by the compressed gussets under the frame of the deck. *sc
