| Speedometer, rpm gauge, fuel gage, and temperature gauge give false readings. speedometer is the most important and gets stuck on different mph randomly. currently it will not go above 20 mph. research online suggest that the instrument cluster has 6 motors and one or more have failed. i called gm before the bankruptcy and they noted this had happened on some of their other makes and they were aware of complaints concerning the buick rendezvous, but there were not enough complaints to warrant a recall. they only offered to maybe help with the computer check, but would not assist with the $400 to $500 gm service charge to fix the instrument panel motors. *tr | |||
