Instrument cluster has failed, speedometer does not work or is incorrect all the time. Driver does not know how fast or slow they are going ,this creates numerous safety issues while driving with or with out other traffic around you. Also the fuel gauge has stopped working and has ran out of fuel in major traffic. I see there have been hundred of complaints filed with NHTSA, there are even more on various websites.

2005 Chevrolet Impala instrument cluster failure. Speedometer works intermittently and temp gauge stopped working all together. Unsure if fuel gauge is accurate. Will gm repay me if I am issued a speeding ticket? unsure if engine is operating at safe operating temperature or if engine damage is occurring due to inoperative gauge. Please recommend quickly to general motors to either recall these defective clusters or add this vehicle to the letter of understanding they issued for the SUV and trucks with the same problem.
The gauge cluster went about 2 years ago. The temps was reading hot when it was not and the speed would say 100mph when I would be going 50mph. I spent over $100 to see if there was a problem with the radiator turns out there was not. I got it replaced and within a year it was messed up again. I have read hundreds of complaints for the same problem!.
