Broken odometer.

2 Instrument Panel problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2002

(1) none (2) instrument panel would go hay-wire. Any or all the gauges would be pegged for no reason and then either go dead or start working again. (3) it was "so called repaired" twice under warranty. I was waiting for it to go completely out so they could see what was wrong. It went out for good about 6/20/02. I took it to the dealer and he said it had to be removed and sent back to gm for repair. I got my truck back on 6/28. He told me it would be around 500. 00 for the repair. I told him, and he had it on record because I had it "repaired" the 2 times under warranty that I didn't feel that I should have to pay anything because I felt it ws never repaired correctly in the first place. He said the best he could do was charge me around 250. 00. I had no choice but to pay because he wouldn't release my truck back to me. . . . . I have found out that there are thousands of complaints about this same problem on alot of other trucks, SUV's etc in the gm line. I feel that gm should re-imburse me because I had to pay for a problem they did not fix in the warranty period.
