| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 chevy tahoe. My instrument panel is messed up. My speedometer does not work, it flutters or pegs out all the way. Now my oil gauge is bottom out. In researching the internet, i see that this is a common problem and that chevy will only fix it if you have less than 70,000 miles. I have over 100,000 miles on my car and i consider it a safety hazard. 98% of the time i do not know how fast i am really going. I heard that a recall will not be issued because it is not a "safety hazard". Well i disagree, because people are not always aware of their fuel level, how fast/slow they are really driving. |
