NHTSA Complaint #10379145 — 2004 BUICK LESABRE

MY 2004 BUICK LESABRE WITH 58500 MILES IS SHOWING INITIAL SIGNS OF FAILURE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS HAS STARTED WITH THE TACHOMETER FAILING TO REGISTER CORRECTLY AND THE FUEL GAUGE PEGGING BEYOND THE FULL POSITION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NEXT COMPONENT FAILURE WILL LIKELY BE THE SPEEDOMETER. SHOULD THIS OCCUR, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE SAFE TO OPERATE. THIS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM REPRESENTS ANOTHER SERIOUS SAFETY DESIGN FLAW BY GENERAL MOTORS THAT MUST BE CORRECTED BY GM BEFORE IT CONTRIBUTES TO AN ACCIDENT. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO INCUR CHARGES TO HAVE THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM CORRECTED. THE NHTSA SHOULD ISSUE A PRODUCT RECALL AND HOLD GM RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM AT GM'S EXPENSE.
