Driving at 10 mph and then went to go 45 mph my speed reading went to 120 mph. I wasn't going that fast it started to jump around then stayed at 120 mph. I then stopped and keep turning the key on and off it went down to 100 at first then shut off car again then went down to 90 so I kept doing that till it was at 0. Drove about 10-15 miles and it started to jump again. I then called the dealer where I bought the car 2 months ago and they want to charge me several hundreds to fix. I read alot of reviews on this year Monte Carlo, everyone had the same issues and no recall on this car to get fixed. I will not ever buy another chevy car and I will be glad to tell friends and family how chevy treats there customers. Matter infact I will contact my local tv station to inform other how chevy takes care of there customers.

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 took the car to a local dealership and had the instrument cluster replaced for about $460.

Erratic speedometer operation which will indicate speeds of over 140mph at times,even when stopped,or lower mph than is actually being traveled.

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.

The instrument panel goes crazy the speedometer pegs out and you might be going 20mph or it might show you are going 40 and the tac will be on 2000rpm going down the hwy and the heat gauge will go all the way over and the all the other gauges will do that also or they will do nothing.

Speedometer failure on 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo: failure started with speedometer reading anywhere from 10-15mph low, causing excessive speed while driving. Failure progressed to either reading zero mph or a consistent 20mph during all speeds of driving. Failure occurred on vehicle with approximately 45,000 miles on the vehicle.

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.

This just started right out of the blue. My speedometer works very erratically. Sometimes it reads 30mph when im doing 70mph and sometimes it says 30mph when im not even moving. It can also be any combination of any speed. It just does whatever. Sometimes it works fine. Usually when it starts to go bad it eventually will just drop to below 0mph and stay there. Now the tachometer is doing the same thing. Both occur totally at random. This could easily lead me to have an accident if I don't know how fast im going. Nothing has been done to fix it because I really don't think I could afford to get it fixed and I know nothing about automobile electronics either. The car is a 2004 chevy Monte Carlo ss with 61,000 miles.
