2005 Chevrolet Cavalier

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WILL GET STUCK AT 20 MPH OR IT WILL JUST SPUTTER UP AND SO I AM NOW CONSTANTLY HAVING TO GUESS WHAT SPEED I AM GOING. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS OF PEOPLE WITH A 2005 CAVALIER HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS IS HAPPENING ON A LOT OF CARS, IT SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO FIX IT. THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO SO MANY PEOPLE, IT OBVIOUSLY MEANS IT IS A FAULTY PART. PLEASE CONSIDER LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM SINCE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT I AM. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER HAS BEEN FAILING ON ME SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2005. FIRST THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I LEARNED TO LIVE WITH THAT USING THE TRIP ODOMETER. NEXT, IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROSS-COUNTRY DRIVE, MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING! IT WOULD DO SO OCCASIONALLY, BUT NOW IT NEVER WORKS AT ALL, AND THE OTHER GAUGES HAVE NOW QUIT AS WELL. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A SNOW STORM, AND THIS INCIDENT BLOCKED TRAFFIC AND RISKED MY LIFE FROM BEING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR OR FREEZING TO DEATH. I'VE GOTTEN COUNTLESS TICKETS BECAUSE OF THESE DEFECTS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG 2005 CAVALIERS, VERY COMMON, AND I AM APPALLED THAT GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. I'VE HAD THE GAUGES REPLACED BUT BEFORE LONG THE PROBLEM STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. IT HAS COST ME HUNDREDS, AND I'M SURE IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I OR SOMEONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM END UP INJURED FROM BEING OUT OF FUEL, SPEED, ETC. THE GAUGES IN MY CAR NOW DO NOT WORK AT ALL, I HAVE TO RELY ON A GPS FOR SPEED AND JUST FILL UP MY CAR EVERY OTHER DAY TO ENSURE I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF STORIES JUST LIKE MINE WITH THE VERY SAME VEHICLE. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE! *TR

JUST PURCHASED 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER....2 WEEKS AS AN OWNER...I HAVE PICTURES OF MY CAR PARKED AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS READING 40-60MPH..HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD OFFER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OR GIVE EVERY OWNER OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE A BETTER CAR..I HAVE NO INCLINATION AS TO HOW FAST I AM GOING ON THE EXPRESSWAY PERIOD..I FEEL THAT I AM DOING 55 BUT THE SPEEDOMETER IS AT 100 OR BETTER..THIS IS RIDICULOUS...I'M EXTREMELY UPSET BECAUSE I AM PAYING A NOTE ON THIS VEHICLE AND AM AT RISK, UNWILLINGLY AND UNPREDICTABLY FOR A TICKET AND ACCIDENT BECAUSE I HAVE UNSETTLING COMFORT DRIVING DUE TO AN UNREADABLE SPEEDOMETER...SOMEONE HAS TO MAKE GENERAL MOTORS DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS..OH MY GOODNESS...I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS WHO HAS TO GET AROUND AND THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT I DID NOT FORESEE WHEN I PUT DOWN FOR THIS CAR!! *TR

2005 CHEVY CAVALIER, GAUGES STARTED GOING HAYWIRE AROUND 50K MILES. TEMP GAUGE SOARED AND I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. WE WERE OUT OF TOWN AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, BUT HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER AND STOP THE CAR "TO LET IT COOL OFF." MY SON WAS VIOLENTLY ILL AT THE TIME AND WE HAD GONE TO PICK HIM UP ON HIS JOB BECAUSE HE COULD NOT DRIVE HOME AND WE NEEDED TO GET HIM TO A DOCTOR ASAP. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! WE CONSIDERED GETTING A RENTAL AND CALLING A TOW TRUCK TO TOW THE CAVALIER HOME, BUT WHEN WE COULD FIND NO SIGNS OF OVERHEATING, WE PROCEEDED WITH CAUTION. THIS CONTINUED TO OCCUR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THEN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. SEEMS THE NEEDLES HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. THERE ARE MULTITUDES OF ONLINE COMPAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT. I WISH EVERYONE HAD FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT. BUT SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BY CHEVROLET. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE PARTS (WHICH ONLY THEY CAN DO) AT A COST TO THE CONSUMER OF $500. *TR
