Consumer Description

THE WEATHER WAS IN THE 10S AND SINGLE DIGITS. I WAS TRAVELING IN PAIR, WE DID NOT EXCEED 35 MILES AN HOUR AS VISIBILITY WAS VERY POOR DUE TO SNOW AND WINDS. I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS ACCELERATING, BELIEVED MY TIRES WERE SPINNING ON ICE. I COME TO A STOP AND REALIZED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL GOING 60 MILES AN HOUR. DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME FOLLOWING MY FRIEND WHO WAS PREVIOUSLY FOLLOWING ME. THE MPH NEEDLE MADE ITS WAY TO POINT STRAIGHT DOWN. I WOULDN'T HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN IF OTHER CHEVY CAVALIER OWNERS HAD TOLD ME TO, BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO THEM TOO. I AM A NEW OWNER OF THIS CAR, BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALERSHIP SO I DON'T KNOW THAT HOW WELL TAKEN CARE OF THIS CAR WAS. I PRIDE MYSELF IN TAKING EXTRA CAR OF MY VEHICLES. I DO NOT THINK THE SPEEDOMETER SHOULD HAVE FAILED UNLESS IT WAS BECAUSE OF OPERATOR MISUSE, AND I HAVE NOT MISUSED MY VEHICLE. *TR
