The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that the speedometer displays inaccurate readings on the instrument panel. He cannot determine the appropriate speed, which is a safety issue. The dealer stated that the instrument control cluster needed to be replaced at the cost of $600. The manufacturer stated that because a class action lawsuit does not include the contact's vehicle year, they would not assume any responsibility for the repair. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure mileage was 54,000 and the current mileage was unknown. Updated 5/26/09 the speedometer is broken and the electrical communication makes a buzzing sound. Updated 05/28/09.
I have a 2005 Chevrolet Suburban. The speedometer has been going out for some time. It will either not register or register off so that the person driving has no idea of speed. I have contacted Chevy and my dealer and have been informed that Chevy knows of the issue but will only cover replacement through model year 2004. There is a class action suit to try to force coverage of additional years.
My daughter was driving down the road and speedometer began acting erratically. At a stop light speedometer reads 25 mph. Ignition was turned on/off with no results.
The speedometer in my 2005 Chevrolet Suburban has developed a ticking noise in the past few days. The vehicle has 83, 300 miles. It started as a low clicking noise and has continued to become louder. I have contacted the local Chevrolet dealership, which gave me no satisfaction for repairs.
