2003 Chevrolet Suburban 2500

2003 CHEVY SUBURBAN 2500 (3/4 TON) - THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS ARE JUNK AND DANGEROUSLY UNRELIABLE - FAULTY. IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL THAT GM AND NHTSA NOT ISSUE A FORMAL RECALL ON GM 2003-2006 INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS. MINE BEGAN FAILING AT 40,000 MILES IN 2005 (FUEL GAUGE READING WRONG OR EMPTY IF IDLING MORE THAN 30 SECONDS, SPEEDOMETER PEGGING OR READING WRONG INTERMITTENTLY). I MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALER BUT THEY LIED AND SAID THAT HAD NO OTHER REPORTS OF SUCH. WHEN TOLD IT WOULD COST $400 TO REPAIR, I HAD TO PASS ON THAT EXPENSE AND JUST RELIED ON A CHEAP GPS I MOUNTED TO READ ACCURATE SPEED. NOW, GM COMES OUT LATE AND CLAIMS THEY MAY PAY FOR THE REPAIR IF IT IS UNDER 70,000 MILES ON THE 03 AND 04 MODELS. I SURMISE THEY WAITED INTENTIONALLY TO MINIMIZE POTENTIAL COST AND THEY WILL SEND A LETTER ON THE 05 AND 06 MODELS IN TWO YEARS HOPING THOSE VEHICLES ALSO HAVE GONE OVER 70K. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY WELL KNOWN DEFECT BECAUSE THERE ARE SITES ON THE INTERNET SUCH AS WWW.SPEEDOMETER.COM DEDICATED TO REPAIRING GM CLUSTERS. AGAIN, A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER IS A POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT AND THE NHTSA MUST STEP UP AND FORCE A FORMAL RECALL OR BE AS GUILTY OF NEGLECTING ITS DUTY AS THE FDA HAS BEEN. *TR
