Consumer Description

A FEW YEARS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING RANDOMLY, BUT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. THIS PAST SUMMER MY RPM GAUGE STARTED SAYING MY ENGINE WAS ROTATING AT 7000 RPM WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF. THE RPM GAUGE HAS NOT WORKED SINCE AND THE SPEEDOMETER PICKS AND CHOOSES WHEN IT WANTS TO WORK. THOSE ARE 2 VERY IMPORTANT PIECES OF EQUIPMENT IN A CAR. WHEN I TALKED TO CHEVY ABOUT IT IN 2008 (I THINK), THEY STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE PART AND THAT NO ONE ELSE HAD FILED ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST UP TO A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX DUE TO HAVING TO TAKE THE DASH APART TO REPLACE THE GAUGE CLUSTER (WHICH IS $800 ON ITS OWN). I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FORUMS ETC SINCE THEN AND THEY ARE FULL OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS AND STILL CHEVY IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
