The speedometer on the vehicle is not showing the true speed (it some times shows 110 when you are going 45, or shows 35 when you are going 65. This is not safe while driving on any road.

Speedometer jumped from approx.69 to 110 and continued to stay haywire and is not reading accurately. Apparently a known problem by Chevy but they are only repairing in 7 years 70,000 miles. Of course I am at 4 years and at 77,000. I was over 74K miles when notice came out so even then would not have been able to get known defect fixed.

My family and I were traveling on the interstate in our 2004 Chevy Suburban when my speedometer started fluctuating from 20 mph to 70 mph to 120 mph. The engine didn't seem to change its running speed as the speedometer fluctuations were occurring. I only have 40K miles, and I'm the original owner. My wife mainly drives it to take our kids to school and their activities, and errands. Will the dealer repair for free?

Speedometer fluttering\sticking recall came out after my vehicle was beyond the warranty mileage.

A couple of months ago I received a letter from GM informing me of a potential defect on the speedometer of any 04 Chevy Suburban, but it stated that I should not take the vehicle to the dealership unless there is a problem. Yesterday 9-22-08 coming back from my son ball game the speedometer was stuck on 70 and when my husband applied the brake instead of decreasing the speedometer was going toward the 120 mark and we were almost at a complete stop. Now GM did send information that there might be problems but don't do anything unless you suspect problems. Anyway I have 78,000 miles on this vehicle and GM sent a letter that they will fix it no charge if it is under 70,000. Its a defect there shouldn't be a time limit to get it replaced a defective speedometer. It is extremely dangerous especially when children are in the vehicle. Why should anyone pay for an item that is defective. It should be replaced at no charge. I have heard of other people with the same problem as I have had. Something needs to be done such as a recall instead of a possible defect letter. Please help!

2004 Chevrolet surburban. The speedometer needle sticks. At first it only happened occasionally. A month later it is sticking at 0 miles per hour most of the time. Many complaints to GM. They finally issued special policy but will not fix my vehicle because the odometer reads 79,216. This is a known defect on many GM models year 2003-2004. The dealership will not even discuss the issue. This is safety issue that GM should take care no matter the mileage of the vehicle. This vehicle is only four years old. The repair will cost between $800 - $1000 or more.
