| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The speedometer has malfunctioned on several occasions. most recently july 24, 2007. i was driving down a highway and it jumped to 75mph -approx 20mph faster than i was actually doing. upon coming to a complete stop, the needle settled on 21-22mph mark. the needle doesn't move smoothly either. it jitters as it moves and jumps more as it is fixing to come to a rest. after turning the vehicle off, then back on - the needle will fall about 5mph. i had turn shut off / restart several times to get the needle back to 0mph. today, i drove to work and didn't see a problem outside of a jittery needle. previously the speedometer has stopped all together while driver and settle on 0 mph or will max at 35mph while driving. at these instances i would pull over, turn the vehicle off and back on to no avail. however, opening the door, which i guess turns off the electricity to the vehicle (radios goes off when door is opened), seemed to reset everything. a few things concern me about this. *i am fixing to take it to a dealer, but i believe my warranty is out and they will not fix it without huge $$$$. *i had purchased a brand new 2003 cavalier and had the same thing happen to the instrument cluster. luckily, i caught it very soon after, and during warranty, and was able to have it fixed for free. i'm not sure what the dealer will say but i'm not very optimistic about it right now. *tr |
