Instrument Panel problems of the 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier - part 2

The speedometer is stuck on a 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier LS .

On the date listed below, I noticed the speedometer on my 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier began to, well, "stick. " after a length of time it will not return to zero, and over time, will dip below 110 mph and stay there. I have been on numerous websites and have seen numerous complaints from owners of Cavaliers and impalas, so this is not an uncommon problem. This is not safe for me as a driver, to not know how fast I am going, and could pose a danger for my passengers and others I drive near. Average repair costs are $400, and a person driving a Cavalier will typically not have that kind of money to spare. General motors needs to issue a recall.

2004 chevy Cavalier with safety issues dealing with the engine. Customer states that there are some safety issues with their vehicle but the dealer needs a light to be on to find out. Dealer said it was the injectors and it was not the injectors. The consumer stated when she traveled on trips over 100 miles long, the trac off light illuminated. , followed by the rpms going up, followed by the check engine light illuminating. The vehicle also burned a lot of oil, but only when the lights illuminated.

The instrument panel sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. . . My gas gauge never works properly. . . This began to happen after I reached 55,000 miles on my car.

My temperature gauge fluctuated for about a month and then it just moved to the bottom and points to the bottom part of the instrument panel and I can not tell if my car is overheating. ,and my speedometer likes to freeze every once in a while.

The speedometer on my 2004 chevy Cavalier stopped working correctly about a year and a half ago. It will stick at random places on the dial, even when not driving, will not register the correct speed, and sometimes roll all the way over, pointing at the odometer. The tachometer and coolant temp. Gauge stick also when it gets cold outside. All of these problems seem to get better when the weather warms up, but are still present. I haven't had the money to get this fixed (estimated at 700 dollars) so therefore no repairs have been made. This is an obvious safety defect and a recall needs to be issued! I have read many more complaints from other Cavalier owners about the same issues!.

Fuel gauge inoperative, points to the temp gauge. Speedometer sometimes works. When it's not, it's either pointing to below zero or up at 90 mph. Must rely on odometer(still works) to gauge fuel use. Must drive slower than traffic to insure I'm not speeding. Repair is very expensive. Have not been able to afford yet. Problem started around 54,000 miles.

Speedometer fluctuates. Do not know my speed. Tachometer fluctuates. Cannot estimate speed. Temperature gauge is acting up. Do I have to worry about blowing my engine? numerous complaints on internet. This is a real problem, and should be recalled. Pretty expensive repair for a Cavalier owner.

At about 40k miles, the tachometer and speedometer started acting erratically. Speedometer constantly at 60 even when at a stop. Tach no longer works at all. Will have to replace instrument cluster. Estimate is about $450. 00.

At a round 61000 km's (approx Mar 2007)the speedometer and tachometer started giving incorrect readings, either at the same time or on their own. They will pretty pretty much spin around at different points. Then some times they will work fine. This is an ongoing problem. Today (sept 2007), the fuel gauge has now started doing the same, it went off scale and now is colliding with the temperature gauge. This poses a serious problem for me now, up til now I was putting up with it as it can only be fixed by the dealer at a high cost (over 500 cdn). Having an incorrect fuel reading causes obvious problems of getting stranded, and the temp gauge of engine damage.

Speedometer started running backwards and now will stick at different speeds regardless of actual speed. I have to estimate actual speed according to rpm's. Consequences is getting pulled over for speeding because I can not tell how fast nor slow I am going.

Instrument cluster on 2004 chevy Cavalier just goes haywire this is a safety concern. Why was there no recall. Faulty motors were put in.

Speedometer and gas gauge and rpm gauge not working correctly. This has been happening for probably 3 years. Started here and there and now, my speedometer it never working. Each day is different. Sometimes it will start on 35 mph and I can easily calculate my speed for about a half hour until it gets stuck. Other days it won't move at all. I never know how fast I am going. Also, gas gauge doesn't work, thank god my gas light does. One time firestone tried to fix it, and it worked for about 3 days, the it was messed up again. It used to only happen in extreme hot or cold weather conditions, but now it happens daily.

Own 2004 chevy Cavalier with 62,000 miles on it. At 25,000 mi the instrument panel stopped working correctly I contacted gm and was told to take car to dealer and have it checked at a cost of 100. 00 and if it was a cluster they might pay for repairs. The speedometer needle goes over past 110 mi when I am doing 20 mph, the gas gauge will sit on empty when there is a half tank, I did some research and found out that gm recalled trucks with this problem but did not include cars, this had to be done before 70,000 miles. I think they should recall cars and fix the problem at once.

My speedometer on my 2004 chevy Cavalier has stopped working I have noticed alot if 2000 models with this issue.

2004 chevy Cavalier speedometer does not state the correct mph you are going will stick anywhere, the temperature gauge also has stopped working. It can be reset (the speedometer) once the car cools off but when you are driving and have no idea what speed you are going it is a major problem that needs to be corrected by chevy.
