| Description of the problem | Tachometer needle fell to 0 while traveling at highway speed. Previous service bulletin was issued with a mileage limit on the repair. Dealership would replace part, however, i would be required to pay for labor hours. Currently, this problem still exists because repair labor would have cost in excess of $400. Also, shift indicator light is now extremely dim and sometimes does not light up at all. There is a recall out for other 2005 tahoes, however, my vin number is not included even though i am having the same issue. I called and spoke with gm today and they said that both items would be the same area and that neither could be fixed under a tsb or a recall. Both problems are known to nhtsa and gm, but gm is not willing to fix these known problems due to a mileage issue. |
