Complaint Summary

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Owner Narrative

2000 MILES AFTER MY WARRANTY WENT OUT SO DID MY SPEEDOMETER IT WILL WORK FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN REGISTER 60-100 MPH EVEN SETTING STILL. I CONTACTED EARL DUNN IN MADISON CAUSE THAT IS WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT REALLY WASN'T EXTENDED. THE WARRANTY THEY SOLD ME DIDN'T EXCEED THE MANF. WARRANTY . THEY TOLD ME AT THE DEALER IT WAS A ADDITIONAL 36,000 MILES ,HUH ,THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR NOT READING THE VERY FINE PRINT. NOW I CAN HONESTLY SEE WHY AMERICAN COMPANY'S ARE GOING BELLY UP AND THAT'S A SAD THING. LAST GM FOR ME. I CONTACTED A DEALER IN CARTHAGE TN THERE SERVICE MANGER SAID THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM, NO COST , BUT SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED AT ANOTHER DEALER HE COULDN'T REALLY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. HE ALSO SAID IT WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR CHEVY/GMC, P/U'S,AVALANCHES,ESCALADES,TAHOES, BUT GM WAS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT AND THEY COULDN'T GET NEW PARTS TO FIX IT. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAD TO BE SENT OFF TO BE REMANUFACTURED.
