BUT AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS ALL STOPPED WORKING AND NOW NOTHING WORKS. NO HEAT GUAGE, NO FUEL GUAGE, NO TEMP GUAGE, NO SPEEDOMETER, AND NO FUEL GUAGE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

GAUGES FOR TEMPERATURE DO NOT WORK, SOMETIMES READS BELOW ZERO, SOMETIMES SLIGHTLY ABOVE THERE IS NO CHANGE IN READING WHETHER COLD, OR RUNNING FOR SEVERAL HOURS - AT ANY SPEED SPEED GAUGE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES RECORDING 100 MPH, WHEN THE CAR IS DOING NO MORE THAT 20-30 MPH. AT OTHER TIMES, IT SEEMS TO BE RUNNING ABOUT THE SPEED LIMIT, WHEN COMPARED WITH OTHER TRAFFIC, THEN RECORD 100+MPH.AT OTHER TIMES, WHEN GOING WITH TRAFFIC, THE GAUGE READS 0MPH THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW IF THE CAR IS OVERHEATING, OR WHAT SPEED THE CAR IS GOING. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS, AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE 'SETTER', AND WOULD COST ME $900. WHICH I DID NOT HAVE. IT IS VERY UPSETTING .

WISH SOMEONE WOULD DO SOMETHING FOR THESE CARS, KIND EXP TO KEEP FIXING. PAID CASH FOR THE OTHER ONE TO BE FIXED. ONLY DRIVE THE CAR ONCE IN AWHILE. ITS NOT AN OLD CAR SO. NOT VERY SAFE CAR AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO GO BUY A NEW ONE........

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED TO REGISTER ANY SPEED AND IS STUCK IN A POSITION PAST THE HIGHEST SPEED ON THE GAGE FACE. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE JUMPS AROUND ALSO LEAVING YOU NO WAY TO JUDGE YOUR SPEED. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID IT FAILED SOME TIME AGO WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IT. I AM PACING OTHER CARS WHILE I AM WAITING FOR REPAIR PARTS TO GET HERE.

A SHORT WHILE AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR I NOTICED ALL OF MY GAUGES WENT OUT. I WAS NERVOUS TO EVEN DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAD OR HOW FAST I WAS GOING. NOW I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TROUBLE WHEN IGET GAS. EVEN WHEN I KNOW FOR SURE THAT I NEED GAS AFTER PUMPING FOR A FEW SECONDS, IT NEVER FAILS THAT THE PUMP WILL STOP AS IF MY TANK IS FULL. THIS MORNING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR AND ALL OF THESE MALFUNCTIONS SEEMINGLY ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER MAKE ME QUESTION THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD SOME OF THE ISSUES OTHERS HAVE MENTIONED. TWICE ALL THE GAUGES WENT DEAD-STAYED IN THE POSITIONS THEY WERE IN WHEN THE IGNITION IS OFF. TWICE THE HORN DIDN'T WORK- HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND YELL! WHEN THE GAUGES WENT THE FIRST TIME, I STUMBLED ON THE FIX. I'D REMOVED THE FUSE TO TEST IT-TESTED OK. PUT IT BACK IN, NOW ALL GAUGES WORKED FINE. I REALIZED THAT THE TWO PROBLEMS ARE RELATED-BOTH GET POWER THROUGH THE FUSE PANEL. THE DASH VIBRATES SO MUCH THAT THESE TWO IN PARTICULAR WORK LOOSE. NOW I REMOVE THE FUSE PANEL COVER EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS AND PUSH DOWN ON ALL FUSES AND RELAYS. PROBLEM SOLVED. TO THE PEOPLE WITH THE "[XXX]" TEMPERATURE GAUGE, GOOD LUCK ON THAT ONE. I HOPE THIS INFO HELPS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

THE ENTIRE GAUGE CLUSTER NO LONGER WORKS AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS THE FIRST ITEM TO START FAILING WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE MECHANICS AT THE LOCATION WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE CLAIMED RESTARTING THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES WOULD RESET THE NEEDLE BACK TO WHERE IT BELONGS. THIS WORKED FOR A WHILE, BUT I HAVE SINCE HAD TO REPLACE THE ITEM ON MY OWN FOR THE SAME ISSUE TWICE.

NHTSA complaint #10649015 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I HAVE TWO PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE SAFETY RELATED. ONE MORE SO THAN THE OTHER. THE INSTRUMENTS, NONE OF THEM WORK, BUT MOST IMPORTANT IS THE SPEEDOMETER. IT STARTED HANGING UP, THEN FINALLY HUNG ALL THE WAY AT 120 MPH. I HAVE TO USE A GPS TO MAKE SURE OF MY SPEED. GM IS REPLACING OTHER VEHICLES CLUSTERS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT I HAVE AN IDEA THEY'RE SKIPPING THE CAVALIER FOR THE OTHER REASON OF MY COMPLAINT. THE DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY FALLING APART. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT MAY TRY TO FALL ON MY LAP, ITS CRACKED UP SO BAD AND RATTLES TERRIBLY. IT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BUST ALL TO PIECES IN A COLLISION. I CAN'T EVEN TOUCH THE CLUSTER BEZEL WITHOUT IT CRACKING. IT SCARES ME. COULD YOU AT LEAST INVESTIGATE THIS AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND? THANK YOU!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

SPEEDOMETER GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. ONLY WAY IT WORKS IS TO TAKE OUT THE FUSE AND REINSERT THE FUSE. FUSE BOX IS LOCATED ON INSIDE LEFT DRIVER SIDE DASH. I TAKE OUT THE FOURTH FUSE ON THE BOTTOM (10A ) I HAVE TO DO THIS EVERYTIME I STOP THE ENGINE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE ONE DOES NOT KNOW HOW FAST/SLOW ONE IS DRIVING. SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 0 MPH SOMETIMES IT WILL SHOW 120+ MPH. BASED UPON MY INTERNET RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO BE INJURED BEFORE A RECALL. I BROUGHT THE AUTOMOBILE TO A CAR MECHANIC WHO INDICATED I NEEDED A NEW CLUSTER. HOWEVER, HE COULD NOT PROMISE ME THAT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

GADGE CLUSTER DOESN'T DISPLAY ANY CORRECT INFORMATION. AT FIRST THE TACH STARTED READING INCORRECTLY, EX. 4200 RPM WITH ENGINE OFF/ READING DOES NOT CHANGE WITH ENGINE SPEED (RPM). NEXT THE TEMP GADGE , EX. 200+ DEGREES WHEN STARTING AFTER 12+ HOURS ENGINE STILL COLD TO THE TOUCH. LATER THE FUEL GADGE, READING CHANGES AND FLUCTUATES MOMENT TO MOMENT. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND SECURITY SYSTEM SEEM TO BE INVOLVED. ALARM GOES OFF SPONTANEOUSLY REGARDLESS IF IT HAS BEEN ENABLED OR NOT. INTERIOR LIGHTS SOMETIMES FUNCTION SOMETIMES NOT. SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE COMPUTER OR ELECTRICAL HARNESS AS INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS TEST OK. WITH SOME ONLINE RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE,

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

THE GAUGES ARE FAILING TO OPERATE. THIS STARTED WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND IS NOW AFFECTING THE TEMP GAUGE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER FOR TESTING AND IT RESET ITSELF WHEN PLUGGED INTO THE COMPUTER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND IT ALSO DOES THIS IF YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES BUT VERY QUICKLY STOPS WORKING AGAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

TEMP GAUGE TENDS TO STICK IN THE MIDDLE AND WILL NOT GO DOWN AFTER I SHUT OFF MY CAR WHEN I DRIVE MORE THAN 30MILES. AFTER A FEW HOURS I CAN USUALLY GET IT BACK DOWN BUT ONE TIME IT WENT ALL THE WAY OVER TO MPH AREA AND THEN THAT NEEDLE GOT STUCK UNDER WHICH I HAD NO CLUE HOW FAST I WAS GOING BECAUSE THE OTHER NEEDLE. NEEDLES TO SAY I BARELY DRIVE ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF TOWN BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

NHTSA complaint #10576086 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER AND BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALER IN 2008. SINCE THEN ALL OF THE GAUGES ARE NOW INOPERABLE. THIS IS A GREAT INCONVENIENCE, AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE. NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE, OR WHAT THE TEMPERATURE IS CAN BECOME A HUGE ISSUE, NOT TO MENTION COSTLY. NOW, I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT ON THESE ISSUES AND I FEEL THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THEM. IF ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS ARE OUT, THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS FROM THE FACTORY. I HOPE THIS MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED AND NOT JUST PUT TO THE SIDE TO CLAIM THAT IT MUST BE SOMETHING THAT THE DRIVERS ARE CAUSING. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT THE INTENTIONS ARE OF GM OR WHOMEVER IS RESPONSIBLE. WE PAID FOR THESE VEHICLES, WHICH ARE FAIRLY GOOD ONES, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE THE DECISION TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

THE WEATHER WAS IN THE 10S AND SINGLE DIGITS. I WAS TRAVELING IN PAIR, WE DID NOT EXCEED 35 MILES AN HOUR AS VISIBILITY WAS VERY POOR DUE TO SNOW AND WINDS. I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ACCELERATING, BELIEVED MY TIRES WERE SPINNING ON ICE. I COME TO A STOP AND REALIZED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL GOING 60 MILES AN HOUR. DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME FOLLOWING MY FRIEND WHO WAS PREVIOUSLY FOLLOWING ME. THE MPH NEEDLE MADE ITS WAY TO POINT STRAIGHT DOWN. I WOULDN'T HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN IF OTHER CHEVY CAVALIER OWNERS HAD TOLD ME TO, BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO THEM TOO. I AM A NEW OWNER OF THIS CAR, BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALERSHIP SO I DON'T KNOW THAT HOW WELL TAKEN CARE OF THIS CAR WAS. I PRIDE MYSELF IN TAKING EXTRA CAR OF MY VEHICLES. I DO NOT THINK THE SPEEDOMETER SHOULD HAVE FAILED UNLESS IT WAS BECAUSE OF OPERATOR MISUSE, AND I HAVE NOT MISUSED MY VEHICLE.
