Consumer Description

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE SPEEDOMETER READS BETWEEN 60 (AT A STOP) AND >120 (HIGHWAY SPEED). THE TACHOMETER ARM POINTS STRAIGHT DOWN AT ALL TIMES. I AM PLANNING ON REPLACING IT MYSELF, KNOWING A RECALL WILL TAKE TOO LONG FOR ME TO WAIT BECAUSE OF THE OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND TALKED TO OTHERS WITH GM VEHICLES AROUND THIS YEAR. I KNOW OF THE RECALL ON THE 2002 MODELS AND IT SEEMS GM DIDN'T TRY THAT HARD TO FIX FUTURE MODELS. PLEASE FIX THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND SAVE OTHER'S MONEY AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, LIVES BECAUSE OF THIS CARELESSNESS DISPLAYED BY GM. *TR
