After the car sat for two weeks and upon starting it, the panel gauges, both dial and digital, were not working. The digital ones were off and the dial ones showed zero. After driving for a few days they came back alive. Then after a few days went back to off. We tried to find a pattern but could not find one. Because we had no time to take it in we had to keep track of our mileage so we would not run out of gas. This was the most annoying part. When we took it to the local Chevy dealership the guy seemed perplexed by the problem. When we went to pick up the vehicle we noticed a bulletin left behind by the technician and found out there is a bulletin out there for this exact problem. Needless to say, we believe since this is a known problem, it should be a recall and not our responsibility to pay for it. We had no idea this autobeef website existed and will look through here the next time we have an issue.
