ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1 OWNER VEHICLE - BOUGHT IN 2004 & HAD 8 MILES ON IT. HAS BEEN VERY WELL KEPT & CURRENTLY HAS ONLY 65,000 MILES ON IT AS OF 9/16/19. AS OTHERS, THE ELECTRICAL CLUSTER HAS MALFUNCTIONED. SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING OVER A YEAR AGO & NOW THE FUEL GAUGE HAS FAILED. PROBLEM IS WITH THE CLUSTER AS "ESTIMATED MILEAGE" STILL WORKS. HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER GAUGES ACT ERRATIC AT TIMES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT CHEVY IS WELL AWARE OF YET FAIL TO ACT. TO TB TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS THEY STATED THERE IS NO RECALL. COST OUT OF MY POCKET FOR REPAIR WILL BE OVER $800.00. SPEEDOMETER ORIGINALLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON HWY. IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN BUT FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY A FEW WEEKS LATER. FUEL GUAGE SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING AFTER STARTING VEHICLE.
