Have a 2004 Monte Carlo. Sporadically when driving the speedometer continues to climb. I was following my husband who was doing 45mph and and I was doing 105 then 114 then 120 then 140 then it dropped straight down. It sometimes resets it self and other times it stays like that for days. The car has 42,234 miles on it.
Speedometer doesn't work most of the time. It will freeze or go to 0 at any time or at any speed. This is a g. M. Problem that has resulted in recalls on some SUV's but not any cars. If you were to google g. M speedometer problems you will get over 200,000 hits. Dealers know the problem exists but g. M is denying it is a safety problem. I have to assume when you are driving a car and don't know how fast you are going that is a safety issue. G. M customer service says there may be a recall someday if they get enough complaints. . . The car in question is a 2004 with 9500 miles. I feel this is something that needs to be researched. To recall some trucks and SUV's but not the cars is stupid. I would hope our gov't can help resolve this problem. . . After all g. M would like our tax dollars. Thank you.
Dash buckling in middle. Dealer has replaced a dash panel twice, but the mating part is what is buckling. Dealer informed me that gm will no longer repair this problem, although it appears to be a manufacturing defect. I was told it was designed to buckle from the heat, and once it did, it would not return to original shape. Very disappointing to pay this amount of money for an automobile to have it look like trailer trash two years into its ownership.
