2005 Chevrolet Cavalier

SPEEDOMETER IS NO LONGER WORKING CORRECTLY, IT NOW COMES TO REST ANYWHERE FROM 30-60 WHEN CAR IS NOT MOVING, IT DOES INCREASE AS SPEED INCREASES BUT DOES NOT DECREASE AT THE SAME RATE, CAUSING THE SPEEDOMETER TO REGISTER ABOVE THE LIMIT OF THE DIAL. HORN DOES NOT WORK VIA THE STEERING WHEEL, THE HORN DOES SOUND WITH LOCKING AND PANIC BUTTONS. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR SPEEDOMETER, AND THAT THE COST WOULD BE $650 HE WAS ABLE TO TELL ME THIS WITHOUT LOOKING UP ANY INFORMATION, SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY HAVE REPLACED QUITE A FEW INSTRUMENT PANELS RECENTLY. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE HAYWIRE. IT GETS STUCK AT THE FAR RIGHT END SHOWING OVER 110 MPH WHEN I'M DRIVING ONLY 20 MPH. WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED, IT WILL SHOW 60 TO 70 MPH AS THE SPEED. ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE, IT WILL WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES OR SO. I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I AM ACTUALLY GOING AND THIS IS A VERY REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE BEEN TOLD I MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE MY DASH AND THIS COULD BE VERY COSTLY- I HAVE ONLY 26,000 MILES ON MY 2005 CAVALIER, HAVE OWNED FOR LESS THAN 4 YEARS, AND HAVE 2 YEARS YET TO PAY ON MY LOAN. *TR

MANUAL HYDRAULIC CLUTCH IN 2005 CHEVY CAVALIER. RUBBER HOSE GETS WORN THROUGH BY METAL BRACKET RESULTING IN LOSS OF CLUTCH. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF CHEVROLET AND THEY WERE OF NO ASSISTANCE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO A CHEVY DEALER YESTERDAY, 10-13-08 AND SHOWED THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID THAT HE COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AT MY COST. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START IT ABOUT AN HOUR LATER THE HOSE BURST CAUSING LOSS OF CLUTCH AND THE CAR JUMPING FORWARD ABOUT 4 FEET. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! *TR

MALFUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER!!!! I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM GM. THE SPEDOMETER IS OFTEN PUTTING OUT FAULTY READINGS AND SOMETIMES GETTING STUCK WHERE IT WILL NOT READ AT ALL. SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE WITH MALFUNCTIONING SPEDOMETERS PUT OUT BY GM BETWEEN 05 AND 07 AND GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

THE TACH IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS NOT DISPLAYING THE CORRECT ENGINE SPEED. THE ENGINE CAN BE TURNING 800-900 RPM AT IDLE AND THE TACHOMETER IS SHOWING 0 RPM OR BELOW. AS ENGINE SPEED INCREASES, THE TACH NEEDLE DOES INCREASE NORMALLY BUT THE READING IS STILL INVALID. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE INTERMITTENT IN FREQUENCY WHICH MAKES THE TACHOMETER A VERY UNRELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR THE DRIVER. *TR

FIRST THE GAS GAUGE WENT HAY-WIRE, WHEN IT'S FULL THE GAUGE COULD SAY EMPTY OR IT COULD BE AT ABOUT HALF A TANK PAST FULL. THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WENT. USUALLY HANGS DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DIAL. NOW THE RPM GAUGE IS STARTING TO GO. SOME TIMES IT JUST KEEPS GOING HIGHER AND HIGHER, OTHER TIMES IT WILL HARDLY REGISTER ANYTHING. *TR

WAS IN A PARKING LOT WENT TO BACK UP..CLUTCH PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND WOULDN'T MOVE,, CLUTCH LINE WAS CUT BY A SMALL PIECE OF METAL RIDING ON THE LINE..ALL THE FLUID LEAKED OUT DISABLING THE CAR,, IF GOING AT HIGH SPEED WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT,,NO WARNING OR WARNING LIGHTS..HAVEN'T HAD CAR FIXED YET,,JUST HAPPENED,, WILL HAVE OLD PART. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY CAVALIER, IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 53,752 MILES AND THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING. IT IS STUCK ON 80 MPH AND WHEN I DRIVE IT GOES UP TO 110 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAST I AM DRIVING. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE I HAVE DONE A BIT OF RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. IF THERE WASN'T SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE THEN WHY WOULD JUST ABOUT EVERYONE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. *TR
