Consumer Description

MY OIL PRESSURE GAUGE STARTED READING "0" IN NOVEMBER 2008 BUT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY OIL. (MILEAGE APPROX. 49,000) I CHECK IT OFTEN AND HAVE THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. IN FEBRUARY 2009 MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED REGISTERING INACCURATELY. FIRST, IT WOULD SAY I WAS GOING 40 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. CURRENTLY, IT IS PAST THE 120 MPH MARK AND HOLDING. (MILEAGE 52,000) I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE DASHBOARD CIRCUIT BOARD AND THAT IT WOULD BE $500 TO REPLACE IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THIS PART HAD BEEN RECALLED ON THE 2003-2004 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2005. THAT I COULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND IF IT WAS RECALLED I COULD BE REIMBURSED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG TEENAGE DRIVERS. IT SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME READING THROUGH ALL THE COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2005 MODEL AND THE RECALLS OF PREVIOUS YEARS THAT THE 2005 MODEL SHOULD BE RECALLED AS WELL. *TR
