2005 Impala, failed instrument panel. Like the other 65+ complaints, my instrument panel began failing at 75,000 miles. At first, could reset with key to acc numerous times, no longer works. Unplug battery resets, but at any time starts again. It seems especially bad in cold weather. When speedometer does work, jumps from 20-40-60 mph with no change in actual speed of vehicle, or drops to 0. Cost is over $500 from shadetree mechanic, $800 dealership, with no vehicle for days. Now, at 90,000 the temp gauge is gone too, constantly straight down, 400+ degrees, but vehicle not running hot. Am starting to fill gas tank even when not necessary, should be the next gauge to fail in the cluster. Unacceptable that there is no recourse for the consumer for what a $10 part, which is why it failed in the first place. My guess is, it isn't a pricey enough car to rate a repair.
