Carcomplaints. Com notes: widespread instrument panel failure is a common and frustrating reality for many 2004-2005 chevy Cavalier owners. They're often left in the dark when it comes to knowing how fast they're going, what their engine temperature is, or even how much fuel they have left in the tank. The likely culprit is a series of bad "stepper motors" which control the gauges and are no longer covered under warranty. Think not being able to see your speed is a safety issue and should be recalled for all owners? we'd agree. Trouble is, apparently the NHTSA does not. This is truly a serious safety issue. This issue has been reported thousands of times to various agencies and it seems the Cavalier was never made. No one will address this issue or any others involving this Cavalier.
