NHTSA Complaint #10546052 — 2005 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEEDLE HAS GONE SO FAR TO THE RIGHT (AND NOT REGISTERING CORRECT TEMPERATURE) THAT IT INTERFERES WITH THE NEEDLE ON THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE THEREFORE, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE CAN ONLY REGISTER UP TO 15 MPH WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING AT LEAST 45 TO 55 MPH. I HAVE READ THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY YOU HAVE TO RECEIVE REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM BEFORE A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED? IS EVERYONE AT NHTSA AND CHEVROLET/GM JUST WAITING IN HOPES THAT SOON ALL OF THESE CARS WILL BE OFF THE ROAD THEREFORE, THEY WILL NO LONGER BE AN ISSUE? I TRULY BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT KNOWING HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU ARE TRAVELING AND/OR WHETHER YOUR CAR IS BURNING UP OR NOT. THIS ISSUE REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS I DON'T SEE THESE CARS GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON, PEOPLE ARE JUST CONTINUING TO DRIVE THEM AS THEY ARE, WITH THE GAUGE PROBLEMS. HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM THAT EVERYONE CHOOSES TO IGNORE BEFORE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT?? THEY COST TOO MUCH TO REPAIR AND IT USUALLY DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WE OWN TWO OF THESE CARS, THE OTHER ONE IS A 2004 AND IN ADDITION TO THE SPEEDOMETER NOT WORKING PROPERLY THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING EITHER! *TR
