The speedometer failed on the instrument cluster. Previously the fuel and temperature gauges have failed. Chevy does not seem to believe this to be the result of defective parts but that is attributed to operating the vehicle past 100,000 miles. The repair is estimated at $500 and is not guaranteed. I have noticed numerous complaints of instrument cluster failure but I have not seen if any action has been taken by Chevrolet.
The temp gauge in my 2004 chevy Venture shows to be hot all the time, although my mechanic says the vehicle is not overheating. Now the check brake fluid light is on and my mechanic says the brakes and brake fluid are fine. Both problems are being attributed to a possible instrument panel defecy.
2004 chevy Venture. Fuel and temp gauges showing false readings. During a long cross country drive speedo started giving false readings making it hard to drive in traffic. Gauge bounces or sticks in one position or shows incorrect speeds.
The temperature gauge sticks once in a while. I was told that it's something in the gauges and to replace the entire thing which was quoted at $500 installed. . . Nope I will live with it I guess.
The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Venture. While driving approximately 60 mph on normal road conditions, the speedometer and temperature gauges displayed inaccurate readings regardless of the speed being traveled. The failures occurred without warning. An independent mechanic stated that the cause of the failure was related to the instrument panel cluster, which required replacement. The vehicle has not been repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 75,000 and current mileage was 80,000.
We currently own a 2004 Chevrolet Venture. The van has 58,000 miles at this time. The speedometer started jumping quickly on acceleration and deacceleration. From this it went to reading incorrectly and now has fallen down and will not read at all. We have not done anything to correct the problem at this time. However we were informed by a dealership that this was a problem on some of the Chevrolet trucks. We were told to wait and it might be placed on a recall list.
Cluster gauge not working properly. First while my husband was driving it looked as if the temp. Gauge was showing it was over heating. Further evaluation showed the cluster gauge was malfunctioning. A few months later while waiting for a replacement the speedometer has also began to either stop working or jumps around as if it is also malfunctioning.
