My 2003 chevrolet tahoe has been having problems with the speedometer. When it is cold, and I start the car up in the morning, the speedometer jumps up, and says the speed is about 10 MPH. Once I start driving, it quickly jumps up in excess of 120 MPH, and off the charts. Then when coming back down to idle, it sits anywhere from 60 MPH - 90 MPH. To clear this back to zero, and get it to seem like it is working properly, I have to turn off the vehicle, turn it back on again, and then it jumps down 10 MPH each time it turns back on. So I have to do this several times to get it back to normal.…
