2005 Chevrolet Cavalier

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL SUDDENLY FAILED NOT ALLOWING THE CONTACT TO SEE THE SPEED HE WAS DRIVING. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATED TO HIS VIN AND THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE REPAIRED AT HIS EXPENSE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54300.

2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS SERIOUS PROBLEMS TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOWS THE CAR IS OVER HEATING AND INTERFERES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW 110MPH WHILE SITTING IN PARK OR WHILE DOING 65MPH DROP AND SHOW NO SPEED. ALSO THE FRONT OF THE DASH CRACKS OUT AND CAN PRODUCE SHARP PIECES THAT CAN CUT THROUGH THE SKIN EASILY. ALSO THE STEERING HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2005 COBALTS AT LOW SPEEDS SOMETIMES THE CAR IS VERY HARD TO TURN. *TR

2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER SPEEDOMETER INACCURATE AND DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AFTER 60,000 MILES. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL AND OTHER TIMES ITS SAYING YOU'RE GOING 110MPH WHEN YOU ARE GOING AT A SNAILS PACE. STILL RESEARCHING HOW TO FIX IT AND AFFORDABLE. SEARCH 2005 CAVALIER AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE POP UP. IT FAILED ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HAD NO IDEAL HOW FAST I WAS GOING. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER AND THE SPEEDOMETER HAS NOT WORKED FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. NOW THE GAS GAUGE AND THE TACHOMETER IS MALFUNCTIONING, ONLY TO RETURN TO NORMAL SPORADICALLY. THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD BE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS. THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE CAR, BUT I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE A HANDFUL OF FOLKS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CAVALIERS (BETWEEN 2004 AND 2005 MODELS). THIS SAFETY FEATURE ON THE CAR SHOULD NOT MALFUNCTION. CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. *TR

TL*THE DRIVER RENTED A 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THE DRIVER WAS HIT HEAD ON BY AN OUT OF CONTROL 2002 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. BOTH VEHICLES WERE DESTROYED. THERE WERE FOUR FATALITIES AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH. THE HIGHLANDER SPEED INCREASED UP TO 85 MILES PER HOUR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE CONTACT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE MILEAGE WAS ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE CRASH OCCURRED. UPDATED 04/07/10. UPDATED 06/18/10

THE VEHICLES GAUGES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE GOES PAST HOT, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS NOT DRIVING HOT, AND GOES INTO THE SPEEDOMETER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE NEED FROM THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE STOPS THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE FROM MOVING PAST THE 15 MPH LOCATION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU ARE DRIVING FASTER THEN 15 MPH, BUT ONLY SHOWING 15 MPH. THE RPM GAUGE ALSO DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE GAUGES, AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND GM SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 CAVALIER USED WITH 19,000 MILES ONE IT. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, AND THE THERMOSTAT GAUGES ALL STARTED TO GO CRAZY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ABOUT $300 TO $500 TO FIX. I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS DEFECT AND WAS TOLD NO. I CAN NEVER TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING, HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE, OR THE TEMPERATURE OF MY ENGINE. THERE SHOULD BE A MASSIVE RECALL AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX THIS FREE OF CHARGE. *TR
