| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | 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 |
