Description of the problem	My 2004 avalanche speedometer and tachometer read completely inaccurate. Example=shows me going 120mph and 3000m rpm with motor off. I bought the vehicle used from a chevy dealer and was told it had warranty remaining. When the problem began last year i was told it was not warranted. I lacked the money for the replacement and have been driving it broken. Now i am finding out through other avalanche owners that it has been being fixed by dealers at no charge as there have been so many problems. I feel this should be a recall. I know my vehicle now has 110,000 miles, but i can document by law enforcement notes on a ticket i received last year that i had the problem about 30,000 miles ago. I feel this should be repaired at no expense to me. They told me when i called that their parts dept had a long waiting list for the replacement panel so you know ? Chevrolet knew they had a widespread problem. Thank you. I hope to hear back from you. Also at about the same time my abs/brake light started coming on after i drive a few miles. I don't know if it is as common of a problem or related to the instrument panel problem or not.
