ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owner Narrative
MY ODOMETER STOPPED FUNCTIONING ON MY 2004 TAHOE Z71. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO ALL OF THE TAHOE'S AND THEY WERE BACK LOGGED TRYING TO GET THE PARTS. IT TOOK OVER A WEEK TO GET MY TAHOE BACK. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY REPAIRED MY CLUSTER. THE HOUR METER HAS 279 HOURS LESS NOW THAN IT DID WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN. THE MILEAGE HAD 4 MORE MILES ON IT. I CALLED AND ADVISED THE DEALER THAT THE HOUR METER HAD 279 HOURS LESS AND ASKED HIM IF THEY REPAIRED THE CLUSTER OR REPLACED IT? HE SAID THEY REPAIRED IT. SO I CALLED MY BROTHER IN-LAW WHO'S BEEN A MECHANIC FOR CHEVY FOR OVER 29 YEARS. HE SAID THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER AND JUST REPROGRAMMED THE MILEAGE AND HOURS. WHY WOULD THE DEALER MAKE A FALSE STATEMENT TO ME AND TELL ME THAT THEY REPAIRED THE CLUSTER WHEN THEY MUST HAVE REPLACED IT? ALSO, WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN A RECALLED BY CHEVY? IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND IS HAPPENING TO ALL THE TAHOE'S. I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN IT HOME, SO I CAN NOT TELL YOU IF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY CORRECTED.*JB
