| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 chevrolet tahoe 4x4, i purchased it with 80000 miles on it. When i start the car or i am driving all my gauges on my instrument cluster pass beyond the maximum level, even my speedometer sometimes i will be going 40mph but it is marking 80mph. My temperature gauge, my battery gauge, my fuel indicator gauge, even my oil pressure gauge stopped working. The worst part is that my prndl and info center also disappear while i am driving and they re- sometimes after few minutes sometimes for days. The dealer said they have no fix for this, other mechanics said that gm has this issue on most of their trucks and suvs. I think this issue is very unsafe for drivers especially when all your gauges stop working or work improperly or disappear from your screen, i believe this can be dangerous to drivers as well as other people on the road and gm should find a fix for it. Thank you |
