This is an important safety issue. There are many other Monte Carlo owners with exact same complaint. Mine began right around 70,000 miles, the same as others. Dealer states it is not recalled or under warranty and will cost $600. To repair. This defect should be recalled before someone gets killed going the wrong speed because of this defect!.

I have 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo with currently 58,228 miles. Recently I have began experiencing problems with my speedometer either sticking or not returning to the '0' position. From my internet search, there is no current recalls for the instrument panel cluster. I have done further research to see there are many people out there who are experiencing this same problem.

I have a 2005 Monte Carlo with only 87,000 miles. While driving on the highway I was going approx. 55 miles an hour when the speedometer started speeding up saying I was going over 120. Now the speedometer is saying 120 miles an hour in park. I have called the car dealership where I bought the car and they told me that it would be over $500. 00 to fix. I have noticed that this is happening alot on the 2005 Monte Carlo's.

The speedometer and tachometer in my wife's 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo started showing the wrong speed when we were driving on the highway. I set the cruise control at 75, yet the speedometer said I was going over 100. At first the problem was sporadic, then became continuous. I took the car to a local dealership and had the instrument cluster replaced for about $460. When I bought the car, I also purchased an extended warranty, so I had to pay $200 of the original bill, however this seems to be a well-known problem over several years of gm products. There had not been any accidents while this was out, but my daughter received a speeding ticket and I received 2 warnings for speed, all while driving in town.

2005 Monte Carlo. Consumer writes in regards to speedometer failure the consumer stated the speedometer would read any where from 80-90 mph.

2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS - speedometer registered over 100 mph while driving at 55 mph. Once pegged it would not return to zero, the gauge remained at 50 - 60 mph. While researching the problem I found that gm has had numerous problems with various model cars and SUV speedometer and at least one class action suit was brought against them.

Speedometer sticks and does not work properly. As well as other clusters on the instrument panel. This is very dangerous and I have read of several others having the same problem online.

2005 Monte Carlo speedometer gage faulty reading inaccurate or freezes understanding there are numerous other Monte Carlo owners with the same problem and also with other gauges.

A I p cluster.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The speedometer on the instrument control panel displays inaccurate readings. A technician from the dealer stated that the repair would be made at the owners expense. No repairs were made. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was provided. The current mileage was 57,664. The failure mileage was 57,654. Updated 01/1410 updated 01/20/10.

I have 2005 Monte Carlo with 85,000 miles and now the instrument panel has gone south. The speedometer is off and the temp gage is not working. I have investigated and found many people have this same problem also my transmission is starting to slip. Can you help? I will never buy another american car.

No events have lead up to the problem that I know of. While driving the car day to day my speedometer in my 2005 Monte Carlo lt seems to stick. It shows me going over the speed limit by 30 mph or more and stays there. This happens all the time. I have not done anything to repair or replace the problem as of today September 17, 2010.

I was driving on the highway, and slowed down as I entered a town. Once I got back onto the highway, and reset my cruise control, my speedometer read at 90mph. I was not going that fast. Once I got stopped, I could see that my speedometer was reading at 30mph while in park. The problem has continued. At times, the speedometer reading will never go past 0mph and at others, it will read at 120mph when I first start my car. It will show that I'm accelerating and decelerating, but will fail to return to 0. I can also hear a clicking noise when it decelerates. At this point, I'm estimating how fast I'm going based on where my rpm gauge reads at. The only component to fail is the speedometer.

October 27, 2009 was the 3rd time in 4 days that the speedometer and tachometer have stopped working while driving or failed to work period. I don't know what led up to the failure it just started when I was driving home from work on Friday October 23, 2009 and my cruise control was set at 65 mph and I noticed my car started slowing down and I was almost rearended I gave the car some gas and I noticed that my speedometer wasn't working nor was my tachometer. I haven't had anything done to correct the problem. I searched the internet and I have noticed that many many people have had this issue with 2002 through 2005 Monte Carlo's. This is a very dangerous problem that needs to be addressed. This will eventually take a life if not addressed and fixed by Chevrolet. There is clearly a huge problem that must be recalled. I had a 1999 chevy silverado that was recalled for faulty tailgate support cables. This problem is much more serious than that was and it was recalled so why not this? the instrument panel in a car is the drivers information center and a huge safety concern if it is proven to be faulty. Speed control is required by all states and if a car manufacturer has an issue this big with one of its products then it needs to be addressed and not hidden. This problem is also present in many other gm vehicles as well. Research it I did and I know there is a huge problem. I am sure you can reach the same conclusion. Took me only 2 hours of research for me to react. How long will it take the government? maybe never since they now have a vested interest in gm or maybe a few huge lawsuits against government motors will change its mind.

Whenever the engine was shut off the speedometer resets and operates normally. The dealer stated via phone that for $600 they would replace the instrument cluster.

The contact owns a 2005 cheverolet Monte Carlo. The speedometer intermittenly failed to display the actual speed that the contact was driving. The failure mileage was 84000. The current mileage was 93000.

Speedometer and inside dash lights erratic stopped working, no accident.

My 2005 Monte Carlo's speedometer doesn't reset to zero. It sticks at 23 mph even when shut-off. It shows about 63 mph when I am really doing about 40 mph. Or sometimes 70 mph when really about 40-45 mph. This speedometer is faulty/defective from the manufacturer. Gm should have to recall this 2005 chevy Monte Carlo and pay for the $500-$600 repair bill. Please talk with the government to demand a recall and force gm to pay the repair bills for these cars from 2003 through 2007 ghm vehicles (about 10 models).

Instrument panel starting to go out. Tachometer works sporadically, oil gauge and temp gauge do not work at all. Speedometer and gas gauge are still working. Trying to hold out on repair until totally dysfunctional.

My car speedometer will get stuck, read a mph that is 20 to 40 mph higher or it will peg out at 120+ and sometimes wont repair itself until the next day. To my understanding gm has a recall on several vehicles using the same gauge step motors but does not include this model or others that use this same part. I believe this is a safety concern because I have no idea how fast im traveling. I would really appreciate your help.

I have a 2005 chevy Monte Carlo that has a failed instrument panel. The speedometer reads 120 when the car is in park. It can be reset back to 0 if you turn the key off and on numerous times, but it fails again eventually. The car has 57,000 miles on it and is not under warranty any more. This is a serious safety issue. I have talked to chevy and my dealer and they will not help at all with the cost of this repair, which will be approx. $500. I don't think this type of failure should be happening to my 2005 vehicle.

Noticed that speedometer stayed at 70mph when I exited freeway. When I turned off the ignition the needle stayed at 70. On start up the speedometer started at 70mph and went up from there. Every car was turned off the was stuck at a higher speed eventually coming back to 0, the speedometer seemed to work correctly for a while then start the cycle again. I tried to use the tach to monitor my speed but it would occasionally be erratic also.

I own a 2005 Monte Carlo that I bought used 16 months ago. About 4 months ago I noticed the speedometer started sticking when slowing down. Now the speedometer only moves forward, continuing to move clockwise all the way around. About two weeks after that, I noticed my gas gauge was not registering correctly and now just remains in a south position. Not only that but about two months ago, my turn signals stopped flashing when in use and would not flash again until the car was turned off and back on again. After that they would work for a while but start acting up again after about an hour of driving. Now my turn signals stopped working completely which has now affected my hazard lights. Of course my warranty expired in November 07 but I think I will be able to get the dealership to pay for it under my mechanical warranty since the car only has 46,000 miles on it. If not I will try to find a way to make the dealership or gm pay for it as this is considered a defective part. Not to mention there are a lot of other people having the same exact problem which supports the defective part theory. With that being said, defective parts are the manufacturer?s responsibility and not of the consumer. I still suggest the NHTSA mandate some kind of recall for this because one wrong accident can have devastating consequences. Preventable measures are much cheaper as opposed to the alternative.

Instrument cluster goes erratic. 47k miles. Dealer says they get a lot of these and replacement is the only answer. $550. Ebay has multiple businesses that repair gm clusters. Why is there no recall? Chevrolet dealer says new model has improved gauge motors.

Odometer - not register correct speeds. Sticking on higher speeds and not returning to zero upon stop. Could not recognize what speed vehicle was going at. Failed instrument cluster, required a new replacement of the instrument cluster.

With less than 20k miles on vehicle speedo had to be replaced due to inaccurate reading and failure to reset to 0 at stop.
