| 1998 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING | CONSUMER HAD STOPPED FOR GAS AND WAS STARTING TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE WHEN HE NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, FLAMES WERE COMING OUT OF THE BUTTON AROUND THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR, CLAIM 14-1248-364. *SLC |
| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | MY 2004 CHEVY TAHOE HAS A DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER. AT 37,500 MILES, CONVENIENTLY JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STARTED JUMPING ERRATICALLY, AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER, IT QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY 2 LOCAL DEALERS IN THE S.F. BAY AREA THAT IT WILL COST APPROX $600-900 TO REPAIR, AND I WILL BE WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR UP TO A WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY, I CANNOT BE WITHOUT IT B/C I WORK FULL TIME AND AM A SINGLE MOTHER. I DID SEE ON EBAY THAT THERE IS A PERSON THAT CAN REPAIR THE CLUSTER AND IT IS A WHOLE LOT CHEAPER THAN TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, BUT I WOULD BE WITHOUT THE WHOLE CLUSTER FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THIS IS DANGEROUS! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOT HAVING A CLUE AS TO HOW FAST I AM ACTUALLY DRIVING, AND IT MAKES ME REALLY NERVOUS. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $600-900 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, AND FEEL THAT GM SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY! COME ON, THIS HAS AFFECTED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALREADY! *JB |
