NHTSA Complaint #10456294 — 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER. THE CAR'S SPEEDOMETER, TEMPERATURE GAUGE, RPM GAUGE AND FUEL GAUGE DO NOT WORK. WHEN I MADE THIS COMPLAINT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THEY SAID THAT IT WASN'T A WARRANTY ISSUE BECAUSE IT DIDN'T DEAL WITH ANY SAFETY ISSUE. I DISAGREE BECAUSE HOW COULD IT NOT BE A SAFETY PROBLEM, IF YOU CAN'T TELL HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING OR IF YOUR OUT OF GAS OR IF YOUR CAR IS OVERHEATING. THE DEALER ACTED LIKE IT WAS NOT A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE SAME COMPLAINTS, AND NOT JUST IN THE 2005 MODELS IT GOES BACK TO 1998. THE DEALER DID SAY THAT THE COULD REPLACE THE CLUSTER BUT THAT IT WOULD COST ME OVER $500.00. WELL, I CANNOT AFFORD IT. ALSO IF YOU LOOK THROUGH SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE THERE ARE PEOPLE ON THERE THAT HAVE HAD THEIR CLUSTERS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AND THEY STILL ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SO WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO? I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT CHEVROLET DID RECALL THE SAME COMPLAINTS IN THE SILVERADO TRUCKS. SO WHY NOT DO THE SAME FOR THE CAVALIERS? PLEASE HELP. *TR
