Started vehicle all gauges except rpm stopped working read online and saw how common this issue is with this car and was advised to file a complaint about it here in hopes of a recall.
Please call about these problems with these cars, 888-327-4236 is how I think anything will get done, just called today 02-20-15. Gas gauge went out 02-07-15 ( millage 40000) and is hitting against my temp gauge so I don't know how hit my car is getting. I replaced my temp gauge back in 01-07-12 millage(29111) cause it was hitting against my speedometer<--- this was not replaced but I dont think till this day it shows the right speed. Air bags did not work back in 2006 crash no fault of the car then, someone hit me, so dont even know if they will. Called gm about that in 2012 and told me there was nothing that could be done. Forgot to tell kimmy about this problem today. Good luck getting these problems fixed. I have to drive my kids and family around only car I have so I hope something is fixed before we get hurt. And I hope for the ones that fixed these repairs get there money back if they find it to be a issue. .
The temperature gauge needle has gone so far to the right (and not registering correct temperature) that it interferes with the needle on the speedometer gauge therefore, the speedometer needle can only register up to 15 mph when you are actually going at least 45 to 55 mph. I have read the other complaints on your site and I would like to know how many you have to receive regarding this same problem before a recall will be issued? is everyone at NHTSA and Chevrolet/gm just waiting in hopes that soon all of these cars will be off the road therefore, they will no longer be an issue? I I truly believe this to be a safety issue, not knowing how fast or slow you are travelling and/or whether your car is burning up or not. This issue really needs to be addressed as soon as possible as I don't see these cars going away anytime soon, people are just continuing to drive them as they are, with the gauge problems. How many people will have to be injured or die in an accident because of this problem that everyone chooses to ignore before something will be done about it?? they cost too much to repair and it usually does not fix the problem. We own two of these cars, the other one is a 2004 and in addition to the speedometer not working properly the gas gauge is not working either!.
My 2005 chevy Cavalier speedometer (not digital) and rpm gauge doesn't work at all from time to time. It either shows I'm doing 0 m. P. H. Or it goes past 110 m. P. H and stays there even when the car is shut off. It hasn't shown the correct speed in which I'm travelling at anytime in the past 6 months or so. I've had to download a speedometer gauge app on my Smart phone to get an idea of how fast I am going and even that is untrustworthy. I've looked online for similar complaints and apparently there are multiple sources for the years between 2003 and 2006 experiencing the exact same problem. I've called multiple Chevrolet dealerships about this problem and was told that it's a known problem and Chevrolet most likely will never recall this defective equipment and was quoted a price that ranges from $700 to $1200 because the whole instrument cluster would need to be replaced. I for one do not think the consumer should bear the brunt of this cost as it is the manufacturer's (Chevrolet in this case) problem who is responsible for installing faulty equipment from the assembly line. From all the online posts and others complaints about this problem I've seen that date back to 2007, I cannot imagine why this problem hasn't been addressed at all. If this isn't considered a safety issue as no one can really know for sure how fast they are going, I don't know what is.
The speed odometer was the first gauge to not work. It is now stuck at 45mph at all times. Now my gas gauge does not work. It even interferes with the temperature gauage. Now the rpm gauge is starting not to work. Some days it works fine and other days it sits at 5 thousand. The temperature gauge is the only gauge that works.
