| 2004 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I HAVE A 2004 MONTE CARLO LS AND ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED AND NOW IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I HAVE DEALT WITH IT AND PAID AN ISSUED SPEEDING TICKET. TODAY THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS READING HOT. I IMMEDIATELY PANICKED AND PULLED OVER WONDERING WHY MY CAR WOULD BE OVER HEATING AFTER ONLY 2 MILES WORTH OF DRIVING. I SAT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE OPENING THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT HOT AND HAD COOLANT. WHEN I GOT IN TO CONTINUE MY DRIVE I STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY PAST HOT TO THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION WHERE IT IS NOW STUCK RESTING AGAINST THE FUEL GAUGE. IM NOW AFRAID OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE SPECIALLY IF THE NEXT GAUGE GOES TOO. THE REPAIR MUST BE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT 500-1500 DOLLARS. I AM A PARENT OF 6 AND DO NOT HAVE THAT MONEY. I HAVE NOTICED THIS IS SUCH A BIG ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I JUST WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR |
