I have a used 2005 chevy Cavalier and the cluster panel is not working properly. The gas gauge doesn't give me an accurate gas amount in the car and the mph works sometime, but often than not, it isn't accurate. I checked with GMC and they say there is no recall to replace it and the cost is $700, which I cannot afford on a fixed income. Can something be done. I know there have been problems with cluster panels in other GMC vehicles.

I just bought a 2005 chevy Cavalier with 60k miles on it, one owner, and never missed a maintenance appointment. The car is immaculate. A few days after I purchased it the speedometer got stuck at 18mph and then dropped to 0 when parked. All other gauges work except the rpm's . . . Neither the speedometer or tachometer has moved an inch since they dropped to 0. It is a serious safety concern. I went online to try to look up what the problem may be, and instead found blogs where 1000's of people are complaining of the same issue, same story on their 05 Cavaliers. This definitely should be considered a recall! I am not sure how much this is going to cost, but it obviously is a continuous problem for most 2005 chevy Cavalier owners, and chevy should take responsibility!.

The speedometer began to intermittantly provide erratic indication of speed. The symptoms eventually got worse to the point that the speedometer doesn't indicate properly at all. The problem occurred at the same time the engine temperature guage wouldn't work properly. Reviewed various websites and found that this is a well know defect for Chevrolet instrument panels. The speedometer will read low causing a safety hazard when the driver tried to maintain speed.
