| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 chevy tahoe and in november of 2006 the speedometer started acting odd. Sometimes it would be on a speed when i was sitting still other times it would be at zero whe i was driving and now it is stuck at zero. Apparently, this is not an isolated incident for this vehicle as i have seen numerous complaints about this problem with many other gmc vehicles in this model year. I currently have my truck in a shop to get this repaired but i would hope with the number of complaints that gmc would do the right thing and initiate a recall. |
