(*affected part - it doesn't let me to type ipc - instrument panel cluster) fuel needle is not operating - completely. Battery voltage needle - is not operating - completely. Speedometer is sticking. Lights at dashboard are dim, takes couple minutes to get back to normal. Gm is aware of defective product (ipc - instrument panel cluster) that was installed on all 2003 and 2004 chevy silverado, but is refusing to correct a problem. They issued only short term "special coverage", which expired in 04/2010, without even notifying all of owners about defect, so - god forbid - they won't go to dealership and have it replaced at that time. It's a serious safety issue, and gm should be responsible for correcting it. I am driving not knowing how much gasoline is in my tank, is my battery voltage ok or really has problem, what is my speed and if it complies with speed limit, and at night I even don't see dashboard info. Gm says - "it's your problem, not our. Take care of it on your own". I purchased vehicle in good faith that all parts are in good working condition. In reality that was not a case. Gm installed defective parts on their vehicle and should carry full responsibility for replacing them with good ones.
