Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVY CAVALIER STOPPED WORKING. THE MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 125,000 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD INDICATE A SPEED OF 25 MPH WHEN I WAS STOPPED. ON THE INTERSTATE IT WOULD SHOW I WAS OVER 110 MPH WHEN I WAS WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. IT FINALLY WENT SO HIGH OFF THE SCALE THAT IT STAYED STUCK. I TOOK THE CAR TO A GOODYEAR SERVICE CENTER AND THEY CHARGED ME $220 TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM. THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 5 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I PARKED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER DRIVING 3 MILES HOME FROM THE REPAIR SHOP. IT WILL BE NEXT WEEK BEFORE I CAN GET BACK TO THE SHOP AND TRY TO GET SOME OF MY MONEY REFUNDED. NOW I HAVE TO FIND A REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP THAT CAN ACTUALLY HANDLE THE JOB AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER. *TR
