Shift indicator does not illuminate. Called dealership in reference to the 05V055000 recall that I assumed was applicable to all Tahoe with the same problem. Service tech inicated that my VIN was not part of the recall. Seems that the recall should be expanded to include all of the same vehicles since the problem seems to affect the all.
The speedometer started jumping from 55 miles an hour 120 miles an hour while driving on the interstate. At a stopped position the speedometer goes back down to 50 miles an hour and stays there.
2005 Chevrolet Tahoe 79450 miles, purchased truck new in 2006. Speedometer erratic for a few weeks and now shows anywhere from 0-120+ mph sitting still or driving. To dealer on 3/5/2015 with 80730 miles. After complaining dealer quoted me $400 down from $535 to replace instrument cluster. Chevrolet said they will not help me at all but issued me a file and referenced their bulletin #. there are over 600 pages of complaints about this problem. Definite safety issue, this will be my last GM product ever.
I was at a red light and the car tried turning off and also I was on the highway and the car started slowing down. The dashboard lights have gone out on the radio and on the steeling wheel as well. I am very scared that this issue with the speed will cause me a fatal accident and I have two kids.
My speedometer has recently either not moved at all or displays excessive speeds including 120mph when traveling on average of 35mph to 50mph which is are the regular limits for my area. Some speeds were as low as 25. Lately, it has only worked for a small percentage of the time. The onstar diagnostic does not even detect that this has/is a problem.

The Tahoe was parked as usual and the speedometer is stuck in the 10mph when off and when at a stop. Dealer says it is a malfunction and it is not covered by them and the carge is $450+ to have it replaced! to me this is a huge safety concern, speed is never accurate. This is the 5th time this problem has occurred. Everytime I take it in to the dealer they tell me that nothing is wrong with the cluster. I was having the problem last night so I took it in this morning while it was malfunctioning so they could see it. The dealer wants me to pay them $115 for them to tell me that there was something wrong with it and that they will not cover it! I want to know how I can resolve this issue and have them replace it at no cost to me.
2005 Chevrolet Tahoe 60,000 miles. Speedometer erratic for a few weeks and now shows anywhere from 30-120 mph sitting still. Taking it to dealer today. On the phone they quoted me $450 to replace instrument cluster. No deal. On one website alone there were over 600 pages of complaints about this problem. Definite safety issue!! Chevrolet does not fix this free of charge then this will be my last GM product ever.
