NHTSA Complaint #10669488 — 2004 CHEVROLET CAVALIER

FIRST OF ALL MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILS, SOMETIMES YOU KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, WHAT YOUR TACK IS AND YOU FUEL LEVEL, SOMETIMES YOU DON'T. I HAVE NEVER REALLY KNOWN MY MILEAGE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE CAR OCCASIONALLY NOT WANTING TO START OR REVING OF THE ENGINE AND ALL OF MY DUMMY LIGHTS COMING ON I WAS TOLD THAT IS MY IGNITION SWITCH,HOWEVER WHEN I CONTACTED GM THEY INFORMED ME CAVALIERS USED A DIFFERENT SWITCH THAN THE ONES IN THE RECALL. OK. BOTH OF THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES, I WAS GOING TO GIVE THIS CAR TO MY SON FOR HIS FIRST CAR, BUT NO WAY! I CAN NOT TEACH HIM HOW TO DRIVE IN IT, BECAUSE THE CLUSTER DOESN'T FUNCTION AND THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES. GM WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND KNOWS THERE ARE ISSUES, PRETTY SURE LAST GM I WILL OWN. *JS
