| Description of the problem | Instrument cluster panel on my 2005 chevy tahoe that was manufactured in july, 2004 is defective. Gm will not warrant this model because it has the year 2005 on; however, it was manufactured in 2004. Our 2004 had the same problem and was warranted. I cannot afford to pay this repair and have no idea what speed i am driving. I could speed excessively without knowing and cause an accident. I could drive below the speed limit and get rear-ended. It's apparent this is an-ongoing issue and gm should warrant the 2005 as well. |
