For the last year I have been attempting to get gm/chevrolet to pay for my faulty speedometer and since there was no official recall other then the extended warranty and my vehicle was not list although it did receive the same manufactured part as the previous year models, I too should have been covered. Special coverage adjustment-#07187a I would like to have my vehicle fixed since a: gm spokeswoman [xxx] - said friday that the agreement "clears the slate" between delphi and gm "and resolves a certain group of outstanding warranty issues." she said the agreement covers as many as 50 warranty issues; the settlement refers to at least 43 warranties. The major issue resolved involves 1.1 million electronic parts that are part of instrument clusters, according to a heavily edited version of the agreement that has been made public. The instrument cluster is the electronic brain behind the instrument panel on the dash. With the agreement and an improving relationship with delphi, gm hopes to save $2 billion annually in parts costs. As delphi exits several businesses, gm will represent a diminishing share of its revenue -- down to a quarter or less than $5 billion by 2010. Delphi attorney jack butler said the agreement saves delphi "hundreds of millions of dollars in potential liability." defective parts replaced under the deal, gm will receive $47.5 million to replace defective electronic parts and delphi will provide 1.1 million new parts at no charge through 2014. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The vehicle intermittently exhibits a dead battery. This happens regardless of whether the vehicle has been driven for hundreds of miles or none at all. At seemingly random times, we go to start the vehicle and the battery is dead. We have had the battery, alternator and cables tested. All tested good. We also notice that around the same time this problem started occurring, that engine noise could be heard through the vehicle speakers regardless of whether the stereo is on. This also occurs at intermittent intervals. We have taken to the dealership and they cannot reproduce the problem in shop in order to troubleshoot. Parasitic draw test is negative due to the fact that the problem is intermittent and not constant.
Battery drains regularly requiring jump start. Vehicle will be fine for a period time (days/weeks) and then be dead again.
