To all who have paid for cluster repairs...

To all who have paid for cluster repairs... I just found out today that an IPC (instument panel cluster) has emissions equipment warranty coverage, 5yr 100k. Kind of makes sense too, if the cluster doesn't work, how many miles are on the engine? If you paid because you were out of the 3/36, check on this...

Thanks for the tip.

thanks for that info

If everyond knew this there would be a lot of dealers refunding money! I know of someone who had their instrument cluster in a sunfire replace 4 times, twice under 36,000 mile warranty and twice out of their own pocket.

I just had an instrument light go out in the speedo. From 60-120 is dark. Are these the same type of bulbs that they use to use? Anybody had to replace any?

Max, are they covering all types of cluster repairs or?.....

The particular instance I was involved with was an 03 with 39k, that began to run 40mph sitting still. I asked our service manager if we could warranty it, since he is a good customer of mine. Service Mgr. came back and sait that the cluster was covered as "emissions equipment" (He was recently promoted to Service Mgr. from warranty administrator, so he is pretty fresh with policys and procedures.) I asked him what about all the other people that we boned for cluster repair, he said "looks like they deserve a reimbursement check". I wouldn't be able to say if it would cover things such as illumination issues, but this particular issue was covered...

It's pretty easy to make an instrument cluster with no lights to stick at 40mph sitting still

dmaxalliTech you posted in the thread called "Warranty Question" parts of GM's New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Included in that post was this:

"Some of these components may also be covered by the Emission Warranty with no deductible. See the "Emission Warranty Parts List" under Emission Control Systems Warranty for details."

Can you post the list of equipment that is cover by the Emission Warranty. I would like to be armed with all the information I can get before I approach my dealer re cluster replacement. Thanks.

I would have to look it up as I dont frequent the P and P manual. I still cant get a straight answer out of anybody regarding the cluster around here though.
