8 Instrument Panel Failure problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 12/08/2008

2005 silverado instrument panel fails. The first replacement was at 23k miles (Mar 07). The engine hours kept resetting. Now my vehicle has 43k miles and all gauges are faulty. The gas gauge goes from full to empty and back regardless of the amount of gas in the tank. The engine hour keeps resetting back to zero and the temp gauge moves from hot to cold and back. The same thing is happening on our office vehicle. According to gm special bulletins this is covered for 03 and 04 models using the same ipc. Why isn't this covered for 05 models as well? if there is an electrical problem shorting out the ipc it needs to be fixed by gm and not the consumer. This is only one of many problems I've had with this 2005 model.
