“None of the gauges in the instrument cluster work at all. I had all of the stepper motors, and the needles replaced. Parts and labor totaling $350.00, and as soon as I was down the street 4 out of the 6 did not work,and these repairs where just done in 2015. Now the two that were working just quit 3 days ago. I do not know how much gas I have,I do not know how fast I am going, I do not know if my vehicle is running hot, or if the battery is charging. I have nothing. This problem happens while driving every time I start the car. …”

“In 2010 my trailblazer would not idle or accelerate properly, the mechanic found the primary smog air pump not working. Cost to me $720.00. Next the instrument cluster gauges started jumping around and now the speedometer does not work at all. Estimated cost to me $480.00, I can't afford to fix it.. Thirdly the windshield wipers go on and off without warning. I went to a dealership and a private mechanic and neither could find the wiper problem. Cost to me $68.00 for diagnostic time and lots of danger ahead. …”
