Consumer Description

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INOPERATIVE. SPEEDOMETER SAYS YOU ARE DOING 110 MPH WHEN CAR IS SHUT OFF AND IN PARK. TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER. ALWAYS READS COLD. TACHOMETER BARELY WORKS. ALL GAUGES GIVE A FALSE READING. CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN SO IT WILL NOT BE RECALLED. QUOTED OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. DRIVER MESSAGE CENTER POPS UP RANDOM WARNINGS, LIKE CHECK AIR PRESSURE WHEN AIR PRESSURE IS FINE. NOT SURE HOW THIS DOES NOT CLASSIFY AS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, IF THE CAR IS GOING TO OVERHEAT, IF THE OIL PRESSURE IS TOO HIGH OR LOW, OR IF THE SUPER CHARGER BOOST IS CORRECT. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED!!!!! *JB
