Instrument Cluster Re-call
Just got a re-call notice for sticking speedo needle and fuel level. Options being take it to the dealer to replace the IC or if you've already had it fixed, mail them a document with the bill and they will reimburse the repair.
Wonder how far I would get sending them a bill for the time it took to research the fix, the $10 part I bought, and the 1/2 hour it took me to solder it in and fix their junk?

I made up a bill on one of our manual receipts at work and sent it in asking to be refunded. My boss didn't care it was his idea!!
Thats been about 3 weeks. We'll see If i get anything back or not.
Mine was also for an 03.
When we replace one and re-program it for a customer, we charge about $450-500 bucks so I asked for $325 on my refund letter.

Technically it's actually a Warranty extension on the cluster only, not a re-call.
I see this very same repair ever day I come to work. We do at least one a day here.

That's not going to happen. What they mean is, if you have had it replaced or fixed by the GM Dealer, and have the supporting documentation like a repair order or an over the counter parts reciept. Then GM will reimburse you for the money spent to fix the issue.

The last Toyota I owned. A 4runner, aside from maintenance items, I honeslty only changed one interior light bulb in 6 years ownership and 120K miles. It was slow as hell though
