2004 Chevrolet Cavalier

2004 CHEVY CAVALIER SPEEDO STICKING. IT STARTED AROUND 5 MONTHS AGO IT SAYS YOUR GOING 110 MPH WHEN ONLY GOING 30 MPH. NOW IT ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE TACH DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK RIGHT EITHER SO YOU CANT GO BY THAT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TRYING TO GUESS YOUR SPEED. I HAVE LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET ONLY TO FIND MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CHEVY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL IF SOMEONE FREAKS OUT ON A HIGHWAY ALOT OF PEOPLE COULD REALLY GET HURT OR EVEN KILLED. IM SURE IF SOMEONE FROM CHEVY TEENAGER HAD A CAV DOING THIS OR GOT HURT BECAUSE OF THIS SOMETHING WOULD BE DONE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO GET THIS FIXED. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A BIG ISSUE BUT WHEN PEOPLE GET HURT THEN IT WILL BE.. PLEASE FOR THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE ON THE ROAD TELL GM THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. *TR

MY DASHBOARD DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. ALL OF THE GAUGES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ODOMETER, DOES NOT WORK. THIS INCLUDES FUEL, SPEEDOMETER, RPM, AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES. IT STARTED WITH MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE. I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING WHEN IT REALLY WASN'T. THEN MY FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT. THEN IT WAS THE SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAUGE. ALL OF THE GAUGES, EXCEPT FOR THE RPM, MOVE UP AND DOWN, BUT NONE OF THEM ARE ACCURATE. THE SPEEDOMETER CAN GET STUCK AT 0, 60 OR MOVE OFF OF THE GAUGE ENTIRELY. IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT VERY SAFE NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, OR IF YOUR CAR IS OVERHEATING OR NOT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAS TO BE REPLACED, BUT I AM NOT 100% CERTAIN. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVY CAVALIER STARTED GOING WACKY. AT FIRST IT STARTED RACING AS YOU WERE DRIVING. SHOWING 65 OR 70 WHEN YOU WERE GOING MAYBE 40. NOW IT RACED PAST 110 AND DROPPED DOWN BETWEEN 0 AND 110. LOOKING OVER THE DIFFERENT WEBSITES, I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, YET IT IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST. WHY? THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, NOT TO MENTION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TICKET BY GUESSING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. MY CAR ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT, AND I SURE WASN'T EXPECTING ANY MAJOR REPAIRS AND THAT MILEAGE. *TR

2004 CHEVY CAVALIER. THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN STARTING THE CAR (BEFORE SHIFTING OUT OF PARK) IT WILL READ 40+ MPH. I ONCE STARTED IT AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING IN A HOT PARKING LOT FOR 8 HOURS AND THE NEEDLE WAS MAXED OUT (AGAIN, BEFORE IT WAS EVEN SHIFTED OUT OF PARK). I HAVE READ THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MANY PEOPLE WITH CHEVY CAVALIERS (NOT JUST 2004 MODEL). WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ONLY FIX FOR THIS WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLUSTER, WHICH WILL COST $500+. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAD LAMPS ON HIS VEHICLE LOOKED AS IF THERE WAS A GLAZE ON THEM. THEY WERE SAND BLASTED AND NOW HE CANT EVEN SEE THE LIGHT BULB. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD SELL HIM A KIT TO CLEAN THE HEAD LAMPS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR THE HEAD LAMPS. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 136000.

DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENT PANEL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OPERATED CORRECTLY UNTIL 2007. THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO OPERATE INCORRECTLY AT RANDOM TIMES. THE NEEDLE WOULD INDICATE HIGH SPEED WHEN STOPPED OR WHEN MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE NEEDLE WOULD CONTINUE TO INDICATE AN INCORRECT SPEED UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN FROM 2007 UNTIL 2009. IN 2009, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE NO LONGER INDICATED A CORRECT SPEED AT ANY TIME. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE THEN BEGAN TO INDICATE ENGINE TEMPERATURE TO BE ABOVE 300 DEGREES WHILE DRIVING. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE CONTINUED TO OPERATE INCORRECTLY. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE SPEED OF THE CAR CANNOT BE PROPERLY ESTIMATED. ANY PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR WOULD NOT BE EASY TO IDENTIFY FOR LACK OF KNOWING ENGINE TEMPERATURE. ATTEMPTS TO FIX: THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS BEEN ELECTRICALLY DISCONNECTED AND CHECKED FOR A FAULTY CONNECTION. NO FAULTY WIRING HAS BEEN FOUND. *TR

OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 CHEVY CAVALIER HAS STOPPED WORKING AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE SPEEDOMETER WILL GO UP PAST 100 MPH WHEN IT IS PARKED AND WILL TAKE 2+ WEEKS TO RESET ITSELF AND START WORKING AGAIN. THIS PAST MONTH THE GAS GAUGE AND TACHOMETER HAVE ALSO STOPPED WORKING, THIS IN ADDITION TO MY SPEEDOMETER BEING OUT HAVE LEFT ME WITHOUT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT, HOW FAST I AM GOING AND MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES. *TR
