They periodically will come back on but has not worked in 2 weeks.

When I first purchased this vehicle I thought I had a great SUV. Little did I know that within the first month of owning it did I make a huge mistake. I am a single mother of 2 kids. I checked out the crash ratings and they were great!! I liked everything about my tb. Looking back, after the 4th problem within that first month. I should have ran away screaming from it, as I do now daily. The lights flicker when you drive at night. The headlights constantly go out. The check gauges light is constantly coming on. The oil pressure gauge drops for no apparent reason. The tach goes crazy. The "bell" for the lights (when you have the keys out and the lights are still on, or when you have the keys in and the drivers door open) works when it wants to. The battery guage works when it feels like it. The gas guage hasn't had a problem lately. I am wondering. . . Doesn't all of that constitue as a safety problem?? I have had the lights looked at and am told there isn't anything that can be done. . Really?? I am going to have to have the guages looked at now and from what I see it will cost about $600-$800. Where other chevy vehicles have had this covered under a recall. There are many other problems I've had, the O2 sensor, temp guage, other lighing issues that I have taken care of but this is getting to be a bit much. I see many others have had this problem. It can't be from normal wear on the vehicle. Please do something about this before someones family really gets hurt, if they haven't already.
