| Description of the problem | 2004 chevrolet tahoe. Speedometer failure at around 80,000 miles. I've been running on the speed indicator of my gps for the last 20,000 miles. Speedometer failures, due to faulty equipment, should be repaired in a recall by the manufacturer. The "silent" recall issued in 2007 never made it to me and it was only for cars under 70,000 miles. Speedometers are "safety" equipment. They shouldn't fail as often as the 2004 model year general motors vehicles are failing. There are way too many people having to spend four-hundred to six-hundred dollars on a repair that should be general motors responsibility. |
