Consumer Description

AS SOON AS THIS CAR REACHED @50,000 MILES, THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. UPON CHECKING WITH A CHEVROLET DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD NEEDS TO BE DISMANTLED AND NEW GAUGES INSTALLED BY AN OUTSIDE SOURCE, WHEREUPON CAR IS RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP AND ODOMETER IS RESET TO CORRECT MILEAGE. COST IS APPROXIMATELY $400.00 AND UP. UPON RESEARCH, I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE YOU CANNOT TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING AND IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUEL. ALSO, FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE GOES HAYWIRE WHEN I FILL UP. THE NEEDLE GOES INTO THE GAUGE THAT TELLS YOU IF YOUR CAR IS RUNNING HOT - PREVENTING THAT NEEDLE FROM OPERATING PROPERLY. TO MY KNOWLEDGE NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THESE PROBLEMS. *TR
