Consumer Description

ALL FOUR GAUGES THAT MAKE UP THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (LR FUEL, TEMP, SPEED AND TECH) WILL SHOW ZERO READING OR VARIES READING THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH REALITY. BY TURNING THE KEY NUMEROUS TIMES I CAN RESET THE SPEEDOMETER BACK TO ZERO AND THEN USE THE VEHICLE, TILL AT A RANDOM TIME IT WILL JUST INCREASE IN SPEED SHOWN. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. GM HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND HAVE DONE ZERO EXCEPT CHARGE HIGH FEE TO FIX A DEFECTIVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT THEY PLACE IN THE VEHICLE. *JS
