Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT MY TACHOMETER GAUGE INDICATOR WAS ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT UNDER MY SPEEDOMETER INDICATOR. THEN A FEW HOURS LATER WHILE GOING TO THE STORE, I NOTICED THAT MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS SHOWING HOT AND NOT ACCURATE ALSO. THIS WAS DISCUSSED WITH MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMS ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THE COST TO FIX??? IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $500 -- I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH A HANDICAPPED CHILD AND DO NOT LIVE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. I THINK GM SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT-- WHY WAIT THAT LONG? BECAUSE IF IT IS ME OR MY CHILD-- I PROMISE IT WILL NOT BE GOOD FOR THEM! *TR
