Consumer Description

GAS GAUGE MALFUNCTION 1MONTH AGO, WENT HALF WAY TO THE RIGHT OF FULL UPON FILL UP, HAVE BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF GAS BY TRIP MILES.THIS FUEL GAUGE IS HALTING THE TEMP GAUGE FROM RISING TO NORMAL. TODAY 1/17/11 STARTED CAR THIS MORNING AND SPEED GAUGE IS POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN TO STEERING WHEEL. PROCEEDED TO DRIVE 8 MINUTES TO WORK ALL THE TIME THE DASH WAS GOING CRAZY THE MILEAGE SPOT HAD THE WORD ERROR ON IT,& EVERY LIGHT WAS ON, THE DASHBOARD- ALL OF THEM. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOMETIME WITH THIS CAR. GM IS AWARE AND DOING NOTHING.I HAVE FOUND OUT BY LOOKING IT UP ON THE INTERNET TONIGHT. THROUGH MY RESEARCH IM GUESSING I NEED A DASH CLUSTER AT THE COST OF 500.00. I FEEL A SPEEDOMETER SHOULD LAST FOR AT LEAST 10 YRS, MY CAR IS 6YRS OLD. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAVE FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE. *TR
