The contact owns a 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada. Five days after purchasing the vehicle, the contact experienced failures with the instrument panel gauges. He stated that the fuel gauge did not properly display the amount of fuel in the tank, causing the vehicle to frequently run out of gas. The speedometer and odometer were also failing, which made it impossible to determine the vehicle's speed and mileage. He took his vehicle to the dealer and they informed him that the recall on his vehicle expired. The manufacturer stated that the recall would not cover his vehicle because the warranty expired when the mileage exceeded 100,000 miles. The speed and mileages could not be determined due to the gauge failures.
