 Instrument panel cluster is failing. my speedometer has totally quit working.my gas gauge is starting to fail also. i checked on the internet and found that gmc has admitted the stepping motors are defective, on the instrument panel cluster gauges for my 2003 gmc envoy. a class lawsuit has been filed, according to the internet .according to the internet,this is a common problem for 2003-2007 gmc's. the cost of the repair is appx. $800.00. i cannot afford this repair. i am forced to drive without knowing my correct speed, due to the speedometer not working. soon i will not know ....how much gas i have in my gmc. according to the internet my other gauges will soon fail. i purchased my gmc brand new for $38,000. i feel my gmc envoy is unsafe, due to the reasons i have just listed. i feel gmc should pay for this repair as, it is unsafe for me to operate the gmc like this. i would like to be included in the class action lawsuit. the failure is constant...no speedometer. this could cause my to drive over the legal speed limit with out my knowledge, which is unsafe. i have done nothing to correct the failure as yet. at this time i cannot afford the cost of the repair.

 I have a concern about the new headlight that are on new cars. they shift in color from a cool white color to a blue color when the car bounces upward. i find this extreamly disorienting. i am concerned that when there are more of these cars on the road this situation will produce a driving stress and hazard for many drivers. this has the potential to increase driving fatigue and accidents. i think that a study must have been done prior to approving these new headlights and that they should hae been shown to be dangerous. in my opinion they should be taken off of the market as soon as possible. please forward this to the appropriate people. thank you. *ak
