NHTSA Complaint #10325813 — 2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA

2004 CHEVY IMPALA: THE SPEEDOMETER STEP SERVO MOTOR IS DEFECTIVE IN MY CAR. IT STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO GIVING FALSE READINGS. I FOUND OUT ONLINE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THEM DOING THIS. THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME STEP MOTORS USED ON OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES WERE ACTUALLY RECALLED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'M HAVING TO USE MY GPS FOR A SPEEDOMETER NOW, AND IT CAN BE HARD TO READ AT TIMES. WHY HASN'T CHEVROLET EXTENDED THE RECALL TO THE IMPALA'S AS WELL.THEY MUST BE HOPING THE CAR OWNERS WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM IN THEIR VEHICLES FOR THEM? CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? THE DEALERSHIPS I'VE TALKED TO SAY THEY EXPECTED CHEVY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BUT THEY STILL HAVE NOT PUT OUT THE RECALL ON THE IMPALA. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS NOW. EVEN BEFORE THE 2004 MODEL.THERE ARE MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS LISTED 'ON LINE'. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
