NHTSA Complaint #10254153 — 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

WE HAVE 2 2004 CHEVY CAVALIERS. ON ONE OF THE CAVALIERS NOT TO LONG AFTER WE BOUGHT IT, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT ON IT AND WE COULDN'T READ THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR. WE HAVE TRIED TO BUY USED ONES AND PUT THEN IN THE CAR AND THAT FAILED AND YOU STILL CAN'T READ THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR. ON THE SECOND CAVALIER THE SPEEDOMETER IS ACTING FUNNY. WHEN THE CAR SETS FOR OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING YOU GO AND TURN IT ON IT SAYS THAT YOU ARE GOING A HIGH AMOUNT OF SPEED, WHEN IT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A LONG TIME. IT KEEPS OCCURRING DAILY, AND THEN SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR DRIVING IT WILL SAY THAT YOUR GO 0 MPH, WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. WE HAVE LOOKED TO GET THESE FIXED, BUT THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER THAT WE TALKED TO HAS SAID THAT HE HAS HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS GOING WRONG IN THE CAVALIERS AND THE CHEVY TRUCKS. BOTH OF MY CARS HAVE AROUND 74,000 MILES ON IT, AND IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED, AND WE THINK THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR IT, SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED IN BOTH CARS AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE POINT. *TR
