| This is in addition to complaint 10410347. after purchasing 2005 chev. trailblazer (joyce buick, mansfield, ohio) noticed instrument cluster gauges fluctuating and making strange noise. my mechanic adivse take to dealer for faulty system, since was still under warranty (3 mo. warranty). they replaced the instrument cluster cable, still not operating properly, discovered after reading owners manual that gas gauge should always register at gas level, not return to empty when turning off ignition. now the gas gauge is not function properly as reported in previous complaint. at purchase noticed ac not cooling, joyce buick added coolant and supposedly performed dye test prior to taking possession, reported no leak in sept. 2010. by april/may 2011 ac not working again. found leak and replaced hose that runs to back of vehicle, (pre-existing condition.) i feel that this vehicle was not properly serviced prior to re-sale. some conditions covered under 3 mo. warranty or pre-existing condition and now more issues continue to arise after warranty has expired, ie gas gauge not properly registering fuel level and the instrument cluster gauges still fluctuating. researched and understand could be some motor relating to instrument cluster. | |||
