2004 Chevrolet Cavalier

2004 CHEVY CAVALIER SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT STATE THE CORRECT MPH YOU ARE GOING WILL STICK ANYWHERE, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ALSO HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT CAN BE RESET (THE SPEEDOMETER) ONCE THE CAR COOLS OFF BUT WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY CHEVY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED A RECURRING FAILURE IN WHICH THE MOTOR IN THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOUR TIMES AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE WINDOW MOTOR WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE MOTORS WERE REPLACED THEY WERE COVERED WITH RUST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON MY 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER STARTED MALFUNCTIONING IN LATE DECEMBER 2009. FIRST THE GAS GAUGE STOP WORKING, THEN THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE BEACUSE THE GAS GAUGE INTERFERED. NOW JULY 10 2010. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS ALSO STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INTERFERED WITH IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I EMAILED GM BUT NO RESPONSE. WAS TOLD BY GM DEALER IT WOULD BE OVER $700 TO REPLACE IT. NOT FAIR AT ALL, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY GM BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE.

AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES THE TACHOMETER ON THE DASHBOARD CLUSTER BEGAN TO FAIL, BECOMING WILDLY UNCALIBRATED AND SHOWING RPM WELL ABOVE ACTUAL. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE SPEEDOMETER SUFFERING THE SAME DEFECT. WHEN DRIVING, STOPPED, IN PARK, OR EVEN ENGINE OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ INACCURATE: 30MPH, 90MPH, SOMETIMES PINNED 360-DEGREES OFF THE GAUGE. A QUICK TEMPORARY FIX IS, WHILE THE CAR IS OFF, TO REMOVE THE DASH CLUSTER FUSE AND REINSERT IT, WHICH RESETS ALL THE GAUGES AT 0. THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY BECAUSE WITHIN DAYS, IF NOT EARLIER, THE GAUGES BECOME UNCALIBRATED AGAIN. RECENTLY AT ABOUT 60,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER HAS ALSO RANDOMLY BEGUN TO REPORT SPEEDS WELL BELOW ACTUAL SPEED. I.E. WHEN TRAVELING 45MPH THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 25MPH. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 CAVALIER. SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT THE DRIVERS WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. I HAD A WARRANTY AND REPLACED IT. IT STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK I COULD HEAR AIR COMING THROUGH THE WINDOW, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANY GAPS. EVENTUALLY NOTICED THE WINDOW WAS OFF TRACK. MY GUESS IS POOR FIXING BY THE DEALERSHIP. ABOUT 2 YEARS LATER (MY WARRANTY IS UP) THE DRIVERS WINDOW QUIT WORKING AGAIN. I HAD TO DRIVE IN THE POURING RAIN WITH MY WINDOW DOWN. WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH RAIN THE ROADS ARE FLOODING THUS SENDING TONS OF WATER INTO MY CAR BY PASSING CARS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM FOR MANY PEOPLE. GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM, INSTEAD OF MAKING THE CUSTOMERS PAY. *TR
