| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | HI THERE, I BOUGHT A 2004 CHEVY MONTE CARLO FROM CARMAX IN OCTOBER 2007. ALL WAS FUNCTIONING FINE UNTIL I NOTICED ABOUT A WEEK AGO, FEBRUARY 7, 2008, THAT THE RPM WAS REGISTERING AS VERY HIGH ON THE TACHOMETER, ALMOST INTO THE RED AREA, AROUND 5500 AND HIGHER. PANICKING, I TOOK IT TO A MEINEKE CAR REPAIR PLACE, WHERE THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR ENGINE ETC., AND THAT IT WAS THE GAUGE ITSELF THAT WAS MESSED UP. THEY SUGGESTED I CHECK RECALLS. I FOUND NO RECALLS ON TACHOMETERS FOR 2004 CHEVY MONTE CARLOS. I THOUGHT I'D WAIT AND CHECK AROUND FOR PRICES, BUT THIS MORNING, FEBRUARY 12, 2008, ON MY WAY IN TO WORK, MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED SHOWING 30MPH, WHEN I KNEW I WAS GOING AT LEAST 70MPH. I'VE CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON SPEEDOMETERS, AND I SEE NONE. THE TACHOMETER WAS BAD ENOUGH, BUT I CANNOT DRIVE PROPERLY WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING SPEEDOMETER, AND FROM CHECKING ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE OTHER MONTE CARLO DRIVERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT THIS IS A PROBLEM. PLEASE RECALL THE AFFECTED PART (INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER). THANK YOU, EULENA JONSSON *TR |
