| Description of the problem | Our 2005 tahoe has been having speedometer problems. It seems to not decrease speed when we slow down and when we accelerate the speed just keeps going up on speedometer until it pegs. We have noticed that there are recalls for several earlier year models but not on the 2005 model. If we get in an accident, police could say we are going faster than we are and our insurance company could deny the claim. Also a possibility of a speeding ticket not knowing how fast you are going. Major safety issue!!!!! The speedometer problem happens randomly. We only drive the vehicle approximately 100 miles a week. Speedometer acts up 2 to 3 times a week. |
