2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/23/2019

My vehicle has only 11,656 miles, less than that when I submitted to dealer for non-functioning gauges due to stepper-motor issues. This same part has been warranted on other gm vehicles, but gm refuses to extend the same warranty for the same part on chevy Ssr. Other safety issue is the service air bag warning is on and dealer refused warranty service due to age of vehicle. Both of these issues are safety related and not looking for warranty of maintenance work.

3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2008

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Ssr. The contact stated that the speedometer should be resetting itself to zero, but the dial rests at 20 mph when the vehicle is idling. On occasion, the speedometer dial becomes erratic and does not go back down at all. As a result, the contact does not know how fast she is driving. She took the vehicle to an independent repair center for a diagnosis and they confirmed the speedometer failure. The dealer stated that it would cost $1,050 to replace the speedometer with an old part. The manufacturer informed her to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer to be diagnosed. The failure mileage was 12,000.
