Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024? A national business reporter is interested in speaking with you. Please reach out to [email protected] by 12/15 if interested in sharing your story.

Dash Panel and gauge issue
I own a 2000 Silverado 1500Ext it has 130K mile on it.. out of nowhere the following happens:
The low fuel, battery, security alternate on the console, my temp and fuel gauges drop dead to 0, my abs and seat belt lights on the dash light up. I do hear a clicking (like the signal light relay) under the dash to the left side. It happens erratically no pattern to when it happens (no reason if damp, dry, hit a bump.. it just happens out of the blue). But when it does, the battery will be dead within 8-10 hours, but jumps fine.
I have seen other posts, nothing conclusive.. anyone have some suggestions..
FYI, dealer states that they cannot find the problem, the computer reports nothing physically wrong...

You could try a couple of other dealerships for their opinion, however, your cluster panel is defective. Another option, one that I had done on my 2000 Silverado is install an Escalade cluster that will give you a free trans temp gauge.
The other option of course is to replace your cluster with an identical one. The part number for that is 15055362. Take the number to any dealer and they can order one for you. The price is about $225.00. It comes with a sticker enclosed that the dealer will fill out to identify the cluster as a replacement and log the mileage both on the car and with GM. If it's a competant dealer he will reprogram the mileage from the old to the new.

Extends warranty on dash panel
within 7 years when vehicle was placed in service or 70,000 miles,whicever first,
condition will be repaired at no charge.
If you paid to have fixed, you can get reimbursed for parts and labor.
Between 70k and 80k miles, reimbursement for parts only.
Over 80k, you're screwed.
Reimbursement number 1-800-204-0261 have your VIN
Multi District Litigation number 1896.....and I guess it's in a Detroit court.
Hope this helps
