Failure Date: 06/15/2006

Mid June 2006, wife drove to work and stopped at a gas station to get gas. When she restarted the car, the instrument power panel did not work nor any of the instruments such as speedometer. She continued to her job and parked the car. When she left work and started the car, everything was working again. She took the car to a GMC dealer about the problem. They said they could not do anything because everything appears to be working. I have done a search about recalls and found that a recall NHTSA 03v096000 appears to affect me. I am told by GMC that my VIN number does not apply to this recall.
