Consumer Description

I DRIVE A 2005 CHEVY CAVALIER AND ON VERY HOT OR COLD DAYS, OR WHEN I DRIVE LONGER THAN USUAL DISTANCES (OVER 30 MILES), THE SPEEDOMETER OFTEN MALFUNCTIONS, EITHER BY GETTING STUCK READING OVER 110 MPH, EVEN WHEN STOPPED, OR BY READING UNDER ZERO, EVEN WHEN I'M MOVING. AND LATELY THE TEMP GAUGE HAS STARTED DOING THIS AS WELL, ALERTING TO ME OVERHEATING ON COLD DAYS EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE IS NOT OVERHEATING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER COMES ON. IT'S FRUSTRATING AND FRIGHTENING AND UNSAFE. *TR
