Consumer Description

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2003 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. IT HAS 120000 MILES ON IT. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I NOTICED MY GAS GAGE SEEMED TO BE STUCK, THE CAR HAD APPROX 90000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER MY RPM GAUGE STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THAT MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO ALSO GO HAYWIRE FOLLOWED BY MY OIL GAUGE. MY WHOLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NO LONGER WORKS. IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD IT AND IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. BUT AFTER LOOKING AT HOW MANY CAVALIER HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
