Received recall notice for instrument panel cluster. Recall would only be covered if instrument panel cluster failed or within 7 years or 70,000 miles. Instrument panel cluster failed exactly as described in recall at approx. 167,000 miles. Only reason we know it failed was a speeding ticket was issued for 58 mph in a 45 mph zone. Car was being driven at 45 mph. Certified GMC service center confirmed instrument cluster was faulty. Cost to repair was $515.62 plus cost of speeding ticket. I feel GMC should cover cost of repair.
The instrument panel gauges are sticking the odometer is not working at all the oil gauge is pinned and the other gauges also stick. The odometer and oil gauge is all the time and nothing has been done to repair the problem GM has informed me that they will not help me get this very dangerous defect repaired. This is a defect in the panel cluster not wear and tear or anything we have done.

I know all my dashboard gauges need to be checked for malfunction. This began two weeks ago, I called doug henry of farmville to check my vehicle for recalls, only to find out it is not listed. My husband has a 2003 GMC Yukon XL, he received a letter describing this problem and got information to get it fixed free of charge. I am not responsible for this problem and I believe there are other vehicles affected in this particular recall.
