Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	We have seen dozen of incidents in the past few months where the speedometer began ticking, became jerky, or stopped working all together. Sometimes it will display a speed obviously lower than the actual speed (like 30 on the highway where we are going at least 55). Other times, it will sit at 0 while the car is cruising down the road. This problem is intermittent. Sometime stopping and restarting the car fixes it. We will go a week or more without the problem and sometime we see it multiple times in one day. We have not repaired the issue yet. Internet searching indicates the average repair cost to be between $500 and $1,200. Similar searching also indicates that this has been seen by at least hundreds of people on variations of the tahoe (suburban, avalanche, etc). There is even someone on ebay who has a hole business around fixing broken instrument clusters for these vehicles. *jb
