Replying to: needafix (Feb 09, 2009 10:29 am) I am having this same issue and just thought I was crazy. I have replaced both speed sensors and didn't fix my issue. I re-set my computer by pulling the battery cable and now the Tahoe is starting to run bad. Seems wierd. Anyway can you point me in the right direction to be able to obtain of copy of the "Letter" or maybe send a copy? I will be taking my car in this week any any help soon would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!! d_piotrowskicomcast.net

The speedometer needle is all the way to the right at the max speed and my oil gauge doesn't work either. Were you able to resolve your issues? Thank you.   Pete D.

Replying to: pdnice3 (Aug 21, 2009 12:41 pm) Sands Chevrolet in Glendale Arizona told me that it would not be covered under any type of warranty or this "recall" due to the mileage being over the limit.   I then contacted GM (Corporate office) and was directed to the "District Specialty Department". They said that the first thing I had to do was get a diagnostic report from the dealership and that they would contact the dealership to be sure I was not charged. The person I spoke with said that she was hopeful that if nothing else, GM would split the cost with me to fix the defective cluster if that is what was wrong with it.   A few days later the dealership called me back and told me to bring the Tahoe in for the diagnostic at no charge (gee...how nice, lol) but they again forewarned me that they would not perform the repair on the cluster for free and that they doubted GM would cover it either.   The Conclusion from the diagnostic was a defective cluster (duh). When I called the District Specialty Department back with the results they said to give it a few days while the results were evaluated. After the evaluation, they got back to me and said "Sorry, due to your vehicle being over the specified mileage, there is nothing we can do".   I called the dealership (Sands Chevrolet in Glendale Arizona) back to give them one more chance to keep my business as we would be in the market for a truck sometime in the next few months. No dice. They would not help me.   In June I traded in my Chevy Tahoe for a brand new loaded 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. If Chevy will not stand behind their vehicles and defective parts, then neither will I!

Replying to: twintwo1 (Aug 21, 2009 4:19 pm) Is there form or site that I need to go to in order to have GM fix it without having to pay for it

Our speedo started playing up a few days ago. I've been using the speedo on my GPS for now. Like many I thought I'd check out online to see if anyone else has had this problem and bingo here I am. We're lucky that although our truck is an 04 we have only put 45,000 miles on it. I'm gonna call GM CS and see what they suggest.   I tried the unhooking the battery negative thing posted above but it didn't help.

Replying to: arrie (Jul 04, 2009 6:41 am) Hi I have a 2003 yukon and a 2005 escalade and both my speedometers went out. Both speedometers are consider a defective item I was able to get my yukon speedometer changed out free of charge but the 05 cadillac they were'nt going to honor since i went over the 70kmiles . GMC did win a lawsuit for buying defective parts so they should be replacing these parts for us. report this towww.nhsta.dot.gov .
