I own a 2005 chevy Impala and for the last year my speedometer has failed on several occasions. The speedometer will jump without warning leading to unsafe traveling conditions especially while traveling on highways. Cycling the ignition will temporarily fix the issue but this has become a hassle. When I started to research the issue on the internet I found hundreds of complaints on the same issue. I also found where there was a class action law suit that forced the repair of the same problem on other vehicles for the same model year range. Why do we as consumers have to pay for and fix the problem when it is an obvious defect in manufacturing? why didn't the class action lawsuit alert the NHTSA that this is potentially a bigger problem? do we have to wait for deaths like the Toyota recall before someone takes this seriously? imagine that you think you are traveling at a safe rate of speed on ice covered roads when in reality you are not because of defective electronics hmmm. I refuse to pay for a known defect, us consumers are entitled to protection from a blatant disregard to manufacturing standards and safety. I welcome your response. . Read more...

Since I brought my 2005 Chevrolet Impala in 2006, I have always have the same problem with my passlock system. One minute my car is driving fine. I park it go where I need to go and then come back to my car to leave and it won't start. I took it to the dealership in 2006 and they said it was an electrical problem and claimed that they fixed it. However since then it has happen to me repeatedly. According to the owner manual it says " leave the key in the ignition at the on position and wait until the security light is no longer flashing. Once it stops, turn the key to the off position and start the car. " this never works for me. Sometimes the flashing light continue for the whole day, and my car is just stuck where ever the incident (security light flashing) occurs.
