Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA LS STOPPED WORKING AND NOW THE NEEDLE POINTS STRAIGHT DOWN. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO JUDGE MY SPEED WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND OTHER MOTORISTS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS SITUATION THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN A PART CALLED A CLUSTER WHICH IS A DEALER ITEM AND IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR, THEREFORE MY CAR HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. THIS BAD CLUSTER HAS ALSO CAUSED OTHER SYSTEM PROBLEMS, GAUGES, HEATER, AND TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEMS BECAUSE APPARENTLY THIS PART CONTROLS A LOT OF DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE GM RECALL THIS CLUSTER AND DO THE RIGHT THING BY REPLACING THESE PARTS AND REPAIRING THESE DANGEROUS CARS. *TR
