NHTSA Complaint #10295448 — 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA

IN JULY, 2009, I NOTICED THAT MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON MY 2005 IMPALA WAS NOT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD AFFECT MY MILEAGE. IT WAS A COST PROHIBITIVE ISSUE, SO I ELECTED JUST TO KEEP AN EYE ON MY RADIATOR AND COOLANT. IN SEPTEMBER, MY FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING, AND SINCE THAT TIME, I'VE HAD TO GAUGE WHEN FUEL WAS LOW BY CLOCKING MY MILEAGE. NOW, AS OF TODAY, MY SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED, AND THIS IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW FAST I'M GOING. I'VE CHECKED SEVERAL SITES ONLINE, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CHEVROLET IMPALAS, AND ONE THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH REGARD TO SPEED. DESPITE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THE CLUSTER. HOW WOULD A PERSON GO ABOUT TRYING TO GET A RECALL ISSUED? *TR
