After shopping, my wife started the car and the fuel gauge needle went far to the right well beyond the full mark. At that time, there was approximately 1/2 tank of gas. We noted the mileage from the odometer and have used that as a basis on when to fill the car. We checked with a garage and they showed us a notification that had come from Chevrolet that this happened frequently with 2005 chevy Impalas. They said it is probably the dashboard cluster or the sensor from the fuel tank. Either repair would cost over $500. 00. I checked online and noticed that chevy SUV's from that era were fixed for free if they had less than 120,000 miles. I also noted a large number of complaints from 2005 chevy Impala drivers about the lack of response from Chevrolet. If that is the case and their is no compensation for a mistake made by the manufacturer, then this will be the last chevy product I or my family will ever buy.
Speedometer getting stuck & not registering properly. Driver is not able to tell what speed the car is traveling at. This could result in traffic infractions for an otherwise very good driving record & could be a safety hazard. Chevrolet really needs to step up & fix this issue as research has shown this is a common problem with this make, model, & year. A family member also has the same car but the base model & his gas gauge suddenly stopped working about a year ago.
I was driving my car at 45mph and suddenly my speedometer and instrument panel went crazy. It said I was going 120mph. Furthermore, my temperature gauge was inaccurate causing my car to overheat. This caused the head gaskets to blow and other parts had to be replaced. I have spent over $1,900. 00 fixing this issue. I was told the instrument panel cluster is not working properly and needs to be replaced which is over $2,000. 00. Chevrolet knows about this problem yet chooses to sit on the sidelines as thousands of people are having the same issue. Action needs to be taken with Chevrolet to resolve these issues. Thank you.

Speedometer does not work most of the time. Car will shut down without warning going down road. The check engine light does not come on. After pulling over it will start back up. Have been placed on diagnostics machine and no codes are triggered. We have replaced fuel filter. Had a tune up done. Nothing is working and mechanics cant figure out what is wrong. Very dangerous. Has happened many times. Last time going down mountain on a curve with no where to pull over. Luckily no traffic at the time.

When im parked the rpm is redlined, the speedometer reads 90 mph , and the gas gauge reads straight north above the full line. I'm stuck not knowingexactly how fast im going. The speedometer seems to go back and forth to reading correctly at times reading all the way south but never making it compleely around.

I have a 2005 chevy Impala LS 3. 8 liter, the speedometer quit working all of a sudden. I can not safely judge the speed I am traveling. Upon my research I have found that there have been several other consumers who have had this same issue on this model of car. The estimated repair would range from $400-$600. A rather expensive repair that I feel could possibly be a recall issue.
With 92,000 miles on my 2005 Impala the tachometer is working strangely, and now frozen at 6,100 rpms. I fear the entire gauge package will fail. The speedometer is starting to seem impacted now too. The internet is full of complaints on this issue, but gm will not recall? please help. We have owned this car since new, and cared for it well. It is in great shape and we love it. But now gauges? help!! thank you.
Speedometer gets stuck at different speeds. Can't determine real speed when this happens. Was told the instrument panel would need to be replaced. Speedometer started working again by itself so I did not replace the instrument panel. Now it is happening again. Checked online and there are many many of the same complaint. This should be a recall item.
First issue took place on a clear sunny day at highway speed. The speedometer at first seemed to stick as it moved up and down instead of moving normally. The speedometer jumps to extremes in speed, either substantially higher or substantially lower than actual. Once the issue started, it has remained a problem. After looking into the issue, it appears this is a fairly common complaint for gm vehicles, specifically with model years 2000 - 2006. The car in question is a 2005 Impala. The current recommended fix by gm seems to be to replace the instrument panel which can cost upwards of 700 dollars.

2005 chevy Impala, the speedometer sticks and gives false readings. It is impossible to know the speed the car is going.
2005 chevorlet Impala: the speedometer gains/drops speed at any given time without warning causing miscalculation of speed during travel. At first, the speedometer returned to the original state, however, after resetting the cruise control function, the unit failed to register speed properly. It has affected the maintenance and performance of the vehicle. Ultimately, the rpm and speedometer gauges, cease to work properly and the car tends to skip between automatic gear shifts. Also, I received a traffic ticket in the state of nc due to the speedometer malfunction. In order to fix this problem for my vehicle, 2005 chevorlet Impala (mileage: 103,117k), the instrument cluster has to be uninstalled from the vehicle, rebuilt, and reinstalled back into the vehicle according to my dealer and a licensed mechanic. .

2005 Chevrolet Impala speedometer not working properly. It reads much faster than you are actually going, often times 40mph +. The problem started on a long trip. Cycling the ignition would bring it back to zero, but that no longer works. There is not one single event that triggers the problem. It cause the driver to maintain speed either way too slow for traffic or way too fast. Creating unsafe conditions. Parts are available, but the parts and labor will cost a minimum of $460. 00. Buying a used part is not a viable option since the instrument cluster is coded to the car. A simple google search produces many thousands of complaints about this problem, yet gm will not run a recall on this. They recalled the silverado with the same problem.
Over the past 6 months my speedometer on my 2005 chevy Impala has not been working correctly. The speedometer will say that I am going 20 mph on the interstate when I am actually going 60 mph or faster. The speedometer will be at 0 mph when in town driving. I have no idea how fast I am going. The speedometer is not working 90% of the time.
The speedometer in my 205 chevy Impala does not show the correct speed. It shows the rate of speed at about 1/2 of what it actually is.
2005 Chevrolet Impala. Speedometer works only intermittently. Sticks at zero when it isn't working. At times, when functioning, though I increase speed or decrease, needle doesn't move in timely manner thus not accurately reporting current speed; needle lags way behind changes in speed. This is dangerous as I can not determine how fast I am going, especially in areas such as school zones where others are anticipating a certain speed and I am sometimes exceeding it unknowingly leading to some close calls with me almost hitting people who pull out in front of me; if I were able to determine my speed accurately and travel at that speed there would not be these close calls. Not covered by warranty due to intermittent problem not complete failure and as warranty is almost expired and will be too cost prohibitive (in excess of $800 and several weeks without a vehicle) to get it fixed after warranty ends so I will have no option but to dangerously and knowingly drive a car not able to determine my speed due to gm's failure to fix this problem that they are more than aware of as they have received multiple complaints. To me, this is a huge safety issue for myself and others I encounter on the roadway and I feel it is Chevrolets responsibility to fix this problem for all of us as they used motors in the instrument cluster that are prone to failure!.
I have a 2005 chevy Impala, the speedometer does not work. At about 80,000 miles it would say I was going 80 or 120 mph when it was actually about 60mph. Now it doesn't work at all. I have no idea how fast or slow I am going. This is a safety concern for me being disabled, and I can't afford to get rid of the car right now. This should be a re-call.

The instrument cluster in my 2005 chevy Impala experiences periodic malfunctions. The speedometer will read significantly over the actual speed or will remain at zero. The fuel and temperature gauges also read incorrectly. My research indicates that these are common complaints for 2000 to 2006 chevy vehicles yet no recall has been announced. This is a safety hazard that should be addressed through a recall.
