Consumer Description

MY 2004 CAVALIER HAS THE DASH CLUSTER GOING OUT. THEREFORE, MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES THAT I HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES BECAUSE I WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE TOO FAST, BUT THOUGHT THAT I WAS SLOW ENOUGH. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. WELL, I FEEL THAT IT IS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, BUT YET THEY ARE CHARGING PEOPLE TO FIX THE CLUSTER. THE COST RUN UP TO $350.00 IF NOT MORE. I AM ALSO AT RISK OF GETTING A TICKET. I HAVE E-MAILED GM, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. I DO KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER 2004 MODELS ALSO FROM SPEAKING WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS. PLEASE HELP IN THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEBODY POSSIBLY IS HURT. *JB
