ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
1) INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN MY 2004 SUBURBAN (SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAGE) FAILED DURING OPERATION 2) 4 INSTANCES OF RUNNING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OUT OF FUEL AND REQUIRING ROADSIDE SERVICE. SPEEDOMETER FAILURE IS INTERMITTENT FAILURES DURING OPERATION RESULT IN NUMEROUS SAFETY AND LEGAL ISSUES. 3) GM WILL CORRECT THE FAILURE FREE OF CHARGE IF THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. AFTER THE 70,000 MILE MARK IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR FOR A PART GM KNOWS IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
DRIVING TO DOCTOR APPT AND NOTICED THAT SPEEDOMETER STUCK ON 80 MPH. WHEN I EXITED TOLL ROAD, STILL SHOWING 80 MPH. AFTER STOPPING AND STARTING THROUGHOUT THE DAY, SPEEDOMETER IS NOW STUCK ON 120 MPH- VERY DANGEROUS! I BOUGHT THIS SUBURBAN NEW IN 2004 AND WAS TOLD TODAY AFTER REPORTING INCIDENT TO GM THAT I WAS OUT OF THE 7 YEAR/70,000 MILE RECALL. MY PROBLEM..I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY 20 MILES FROM THE NEAREST TOWN/WORK AND 90 MILES FROM DOCTOR- IS IT A WONDER I HAVE MORE THAT 70,000 MILES ON A 2004 MODEL?*CN

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, STEERING:GEAR BOX:SHAFT SECTOR, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE NOT WORKING. ODOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, OIL GAUGE, BATTERY GAUGE, TEMPERATURE GAUGE DO NOT WORK - THE ONLY GAUGE THAT DOES WORK IS THE SPEEDOMETER. LOOKING AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS, I SHOULD ASSUME THE SPEEDOMETER WILL BE GOING OUT. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS - IT READS 250 - 260 ALL THE TIME. YOU DO NOT KNOW IF YOUR ARE RUNNING HOT OR NOT. THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE IS TOTALLY UPSET DOWN - WE HAVE TO GO OFF OUR "HOW MANY MILES 'TIL WE RUN OUT GO GAS" SCREEN TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH GAS WE HAVE. I'VE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP - $775, THE CHIP FOR THE GAS PEDAL (WHEN OUT - YOU COULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR $800), THE DRIVER SIDE LEATHER SEAT STARTED TO WEAR DOWN @ 40,000 MILES - NOW HAS A TEAR IN IT, THE STEERING COLUMN MAKES A KNOCKING NOISE, THE DASH MAKES A POPPING NOISE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON, FRONT SEEM TO WEAR DOWN FAST, ETC. I COULD GO ON, BUT.......... IT SEEMS I GOT A LEMON. THIS WAS A $47,000 STICKER PRICED CAR - YOU WOULD THINK YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL PROBLEMS - SEEMS CHEV SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS - DANGEROUS. THESE ARE FAMILY - CHILDREN VEHICLES!!! *TR
