Fuel gauge AND speedometer don’t work

[JRindin]

Randomly when I start the telluride the fuel gauge shows empty and both the speedometer and fuel gauge sort of twitch. When I start to move, the speedometer remains at zero. Both the analog and digital. Eventually they both come to life.
Familiar to anyone?

Sounds like an electrical issue. Have you had your battery tested?

Something similar happened to us a few months ago! We were right around 4000 miles. Solely speedometers - I stopped & turned off engine x 2, then said f it and continued down interstate x 2-3 ish hrs. Stopped for a lunch break (1 hr ish?) and started her again & all back to normal. Hasn’t happened since & we’re just over 10000 miles now.
This did occur shortly after that recall for the towing models & the brake lights while towing - I can’t recall specifics, but I think they changed some wiring around. The very helpful service guy I talked to at Edmonds thought it may just have been loose electrical from the recent service.

Speedometer stuck at 80mph!

Less than 100 miles on my Telly. On my drive home, I had to hit the gas and pass a semi. Exceeded 80mph momentarily (speed limit was 70, dont judge). After a couple of minutes of driving, speedometer showed I was driving at 120mph, and cars were still passing me by. Took the first exit, parked...

Gas Gauge

I filled the car with gas today but gas gauge is at ~ 5/8 full. I will be taking it in shortly for service (5000 miles) but in the mean time does anybody else have this issue. I apologize up front if this has been discussed before.

Gas tank size?

Internet says 18.8 gallons. Today I was on empty (fuel range 5 miles)and was only able to put 13 gallons of gas in my tank. That seems like a small tank for an SUV. My previous Chevy Avalanche had a 30-gallon tank. I looked in the manual and can't find where it lists the size. Does anyone have...

There aren't any other signs of a bad battery. Maybe it is a harness connection somewhere. We also have an outside door panel coming off so it needs to go in anyway. Hoping someone at the dealer has an idea but not super hopeful given our experience there in the past with similar issues with a Sorento.
