1 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado

Failure Date: 04/20/2016

Entire instrument cluster went out while driving causing loss of needed information such as speed and other pertinent information. Dealer says there is a TSB that the entire truck has to be re-flashed including all modules in the vehicle because it does not recognize the instrument cluster. During this time, all safety systems flashed and appeared to be inactive. Air bag, traction control, abs, trailer braking etc. This needs to be investigated to see if a recall must happen. If we got in an accident during this occurrence who knows if any of the safety systems on the vehicle were functioning.

11 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado

Failure Date: 10/01/2008

Re:chevy 2005 instrument cluster failure about 6 months ago, my 2005 chevy Silverado 200 truck started experiencing the speedometer failure issue. At that time I called in the dealership tom jumper where I purchased this vehicle and they told me that they know about this issue and it would cost about $600 to get this fixed. They also informed me that there was a litigation against gm for the speedometer issue and had me call gm directly to get this issue fixed to avoid out of pocket expenses. This dealership has closed and out of business. I did call gm according to them there has been litigation going on and they directed to me to this website to find out the status periodically. The website now informs that there was a settlement notice issued and for people who have paid for this repair work should claim their reimbursements. I refuse to pay out of pocket and asked them to get my vehicle fixed as its a manufacturer problem on supplying defective parts. They are asking me to go to chevy dealer and get it diagnosed paid by me and then they will determine if they I am eligible for this repair work. I found this absolutely unacceptable and fraudulent as per keeping their client as a hostage to their demands. I want some action done to help protect consumers like me who are essentially paying for the bailout of these companies in the current economic condition. Please help in this matter. Thanks. .

12 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2004 Chevrolet Silverado

Failure Date: 12/03/2007

Instrument cluster is failing. First was the speedometer, then the tachometer, followed by oil pressure gauge. I have no idea how fast I am traveling or if my oil pump is working. The speedometer part is a major safety issue to me. From what I have read, there are thousands of gm vehicles with this problem and they refuse to do a recall.
