——————————————————————————–

DUE TO PART AVAILABILITY, THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE IS BEING ADMINISTERED IN PHASES. YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED AS EACH ADDITIONAL PHASE IS RELEASED.

CUSTOMERS ARE BEING INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO ARRANGE AN APPOINTMENT IF THEY BELIEVE THEIR VEHICLE HAS THIS CONDITION. THE CUSTOMER IS BEING ASKED TO PROVIDE THE VIN SO THE IPC CAN BE ORDERED IN ADVANCE OF THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. THIS WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT. DEALERS ARE TO OBTAIN THE VEHICLE MILEAGE WHEN SCHEDULING A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE WILL BE REQUIRED WHEN PLACING AN ORDER FOR THE IPC.

Condition
Some customers of 2003-2004 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and Escalade EXT; Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, and Tahoe; and GMC Sierra, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles have reported that one or more of the instrument panel (IP) cluster gauges stick, flutter, or become inoperative. This may cause inaccurate readings, including the speedometer and fuel gauge.

Special Coverage Adjustment
This special coverage covers the condition described above for a period of 7 years or 70,000 miles (110,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership.

Dealers are to replace the instrument panel cluster after the condition has been verified. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer. Returned IP clusters will be inspected upon return and replacement of IP clusters that do not exhibit the condition will not be covered.

For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after September 28, 2007 are covered by this special coverage and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to September 28, 2007, must be submitted to the Service Contract provider.

Vehicles Involved
Involved are all 2003-2004 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and Escalade EXT; Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, and Tahoe; and GMC Sierra, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles built within the following VIN breakpoints:

You can try to change the point all you want, you’re still wrong. And if that assumption is wrong, you’d have to admit that some of your other assumptions might be incorrect as well. You won’t do that, therefore you are unreasonable and not worth the argument.

You want to play on, but checkmate has been called. Game over.

Figure out your apostrophe’s and comma’s if you want to fool people into thinking you have an iota of intelligence.

AND

“GM will fix anything voluntarily, but before they can ‘fix it’ there has to be something wrong with it. And unlike Toy, GM’s products are becoming of better quality.”

two astute observations.

lucklaster: “shitty toyota quality”
I hereby accuse you of redundancy!

“Toyota is not calling it a recall,” the article says. That doesn’t mean it’s not a recall.

cardesigner5: You are a crime against the English language.

Fluffer: GM doesn’t sell minivans anymore because people like myself are going to crossovers. And because there are several better choices than the A-Body.
Build quality? See how many 0ld Dustbusters are still on the road compared to axxes and Toyote Previa/XE vans (jdm Town Ace).

“They have enough sense not to drive a Buick lol.”
No, they didn’t have enough sense not to reproduce.

“There is a problem that affects multiple vehicles
The problem is not the fault of the consumer, but Toy’s fault.
Customers complained about the problem and had to pay money to fix it.
Toyota sends out letters to the owners of the affected cars to inform them of the problem.
Toyota offers to fix the problem if the consumer brings their vehicle to the dealership.

I don’t know..but it sounds like a recall to me. There is nothing that makes this NOT a recall. So far, Toyota has about 3/4 of a million cars recalled this year and 4.1 million cars “non-recalled” that are just on their Oops! list. They are pretty clever though – I’ll give them that.”

While some people find this amusing for Toyota, I find it sad for the poor consumers who put their faith in Toyota to offer them a quality product. Most of Toyota’s customers purchased their products because they needed a vehicle they could depend on to be reliable and durable. These customers are hard working people who don’t just purchase vehicles on whimsy or for recreational or hobby purposes. I have had the same thing happen in the past with a different car corporation and it is very frustrating and stressful. I don’t wish for anyone to go through the same situation.
