| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | THE EASIEST WAY TO PUT THIS IS THE 2004 CHEVY CAVALIER INSTRUMENT PANEL IS MESSED UP, IT FIRST STARTED APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 40MPH WHEN I WAS IDLING, AND NOW THE NEEDLE IS BURIED PAST 110MPH EVEN WHEN IM GOING 20MPH. NOW THE GAS GAUGE HAS GOTTEN MESSED UP TOO ITS NEEDLE IS BURIED BLOCKING THE TEMPERATURE NEEDLE FROM ADVANCING WHICH WOULD CAUSE OVERHEATING AND BRAKING PROBLEMS. I CALLED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE KNOWS IT IS A PROBLEM BUT THEN PROCEEDED TO TELL ME IT WOULD BE $500.00 TO REPAIR IT. HONESTLY I AM KIND OF SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY FAMILY IN IT DUE TO CHEVY NOT WANTING TO REPLACE THIS WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM, I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOU TAKING YOUR TIME FOR READING THIS. *TR |
