2005 Chevrolet Cavalier

1. THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVY CAVALIER LS DOES NOT WORK. STARTED IN FEBRUARY WHEN NEEDLE STUCK AT 10MPH WHEN STOPPED... IT WAS AN EXTREMELY COLD DAY, WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE IT WAS WEATHER RELATED, BUT NOT THE CASE. 2.SPEEDOMETER HAS GOTTEN WORSE; SOMETIMES DOESN'T BUDGE AT ALL AND SOMETIMES READS WAY TOO HIGH. IT IS QUITE UNPREDICTABLE, AND OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE, AND WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE ASAP, BUT AS A SINGLE MOM IT IS NOT EASY TO COME UP WITH THE AMOUNT OF $$ NEEDED. 3. I'VE RESEARCHED PROBLEM AND SEE THAT SEVERAL OTHER CHEVY OWNERS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER; SEEMS A RECALL SHOULD BE IN ORDER.

2005 CHEVY CAVALIER. ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. THE INDICATOR NEEDLE WOULD GO OFF IT'S GAUGE AND INTERFERE WITH THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE. I TOOK IT IN AND HAD THE TEMP SENSOR REPLACED AND IT SEEM ED TO FIX IT TILL A WEEK LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. MY MECHANIC THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A FAULTY SENSOR SO HE REPLACED THAT. SAME THING HAPPENED.. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $500-$700. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT WAS INDICATING 110 MPH WHILE I WAS DOING ABOUT 45MPH. OTHER TIMES IT HAS READ 45 WHEN I WAS DOING ABOUT 60 MPH. ( I TIMED MYSELF BY MILE MARKERS...1 MILE IN 1 MINUTE = 60 MPH. NOT ONLY HAS THIS RAISED MY CHANCE OF SPEEDING TICKETS BUT I FEEL IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. PEOPLE WILL BE GOING MUCH FASTER THAN THEIR SPEEDOMETER INDICATES. GM HAS RECALLED TRUCK MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT THE CAVALIER. MY GUESS IS THAT GM DOES NOT MAKE THAT MODEL ANYMORE BUT THEY STILL MAKE THE TRUCKS. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR NOW AND TO GET IT FIXED WOULD BE A GAMBLE IN ITSELF. THEY WOULD PROBABLY PUT THE SAME POORLY DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED PANEL BACK IN. THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME FEEDBACK ON THIS MATTER. MY VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO POOR GM QUALITY. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY CAVALIER LS SPORT. THE GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK WITH IT, WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR NONE OF THE GAUGES WORKED, THEY FIXED EVERYTHING BUT THE GAS GAUGE STILL DOESN'T WORK. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF U RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR DOWNTOWN IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF YOU!! CHEVY VEHICLES ARE THE MOST CRAPPYEST VEHICLES EVER!!! MY CAR ONLY HAS 53 THOUSAND ON IT AND SO FAR THE AXEL IS BAD AND ALL OF MY MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BROKE EXCEPT ONE AND I HAVE THIS ANNOYING CRACKING NOISE ALL THE TIME AND MY ABS, SERVICE AND TRAC OFF LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME!!! MY ENGINE FAN ALSO DOESN'T RUN, SO WHEN MY CAR SITS THERE AND IDLES MY TEMP GAUGE GOES UP, SO I HAVE TO JUST SHUT OFF MY CAR SO IT DOESN'T OVERHEAT. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER 3 YEARS AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING A YEAR AGO. JUST YESTERDAY MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND I COULDN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN MY TANK. I THOUGHT MY AIRBAGS WERE GOING TO DEPLOY FOR NO REASON AS THE LIGHT ON MY DASH WAS LIT. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!! *TR

2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER - (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) WHEN CLUTCH PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO CHANGE GEARS WHILE DRIVING, PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND STAYED THERE. COULD NO LONGER USE CLUTCH TO CHANGE GEARS. CAR STAYED IN GEAR. PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER HYDRAULIC LINE (HOSE) FAILING DUE TO RUBBING AGAINST A SHARP METAL ELECTRICAL CASE. GM DEALER REPLACED THE PART (#24233064), BUT HAS NOT MODIFIED THE ROUTING OF THE PART. SINCE THE NEW PART IS ROUTED AGAINST THE SAME SHARP METAL PART AND IS RUBBING AGAINST IT, THE FAILURE WILL OCCUR AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. SINCE THE FAILURE OCCURRED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, THERE FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT UNDER DIFFERENT TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. (IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE LESSENED, IF THE HYDRAULIC HOSE ROUTING WAS ROUTED DIFFERENTLY, OR THE SHARP METAL EDGE WAS SLIGHTLY MODIFIED.) THIS CAR HAD 66261 MILES ON IT, HOWEVER, THE PART HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED AT 31786 MILES.
