Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY CAVALIER THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE READING HOT WHEN THE MOTOR IS NOT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MOST LIKELY NEEDS REPLACED AND IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE. THE CAR HAS ONLY 75,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PANELS GOING OUT OF THIS MODEL. NOT BEING ABLE TO KNOW WHETHER THE CAR IS PERFORMING PROPERLY COULD POSE A SAFETY HAZARD DRIVING. IF THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS READING INCORRECTLY, I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER TO TURN THE CAR OFF OR KEEP DRIVING IT. *TR
