2004 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO Electrical System Problems

2004 MONTE CARLO SPEDOMETER AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WORKS ERRADICLE DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND COULD RESULT IN A FASTER THAN POSTED DRIVING EXPIERENCE. IF NOT TRAINED AND TESTED AT HIGH SPEED MANUVERS DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY IS REDUCED , DRAMATICALLY !

MY 2004 MONTE CARLO SS IS HAVING SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES DUE TO FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SPEEDOMETER READS 110MPH EVEN WHEN SHUT OFF. COOLANT TEMP GAUGE DOESN'T WORK. SO GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I HAVE NO CLUE HOW FAST I AM GOING OR IF THE MOTOR IS GOING TO BLOW UP DUE TO OVERHEATING. TURNS OUT GM RECALLED SEVERAL 2004-2006 VEHICLES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. 2005 MONTE CARLO HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE SPOKE TO GM ABOUT ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT RECALL THE CARS OR COVER ANY OF THE REPAIRS. THIS WEBSITE HERE HAS 47 COMPLAINTS SO FAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHY WILL THEY NOT RECALL THE CAR AND FIX THIS ISSUE? WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED FOR THEM TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM? GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE MONTE CARLO'S. THEY JUST CHOOSE TO NOT FIX IT...

AT APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT READING CORRECTLY. NEXT THE TACHOMETER WENT HAYWIRE. NOW THE TEMP GAUGE HAS QUIT. *TR

TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, ANY TIME THE WIPERS, LIGHTS, REAR-DEFROST, OR WHEN ITS JUST COLD OUT, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPS FUNCTIONING. NOTABLY THE SPEEDOMETER WILL GO UP WITH SPEED, BUT NOT GO BACK DOWN. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO THE OIL PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, FUEL AND RPM GAUGES. THIS DEFECT MAKES IT SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SPEED I AM TRAVELING AND CAN BE A RISK TO HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES CRAZY THE SPEEDOMETER PEGS OUT AND YOU MIGHT BE GOING 20MPH OR IT MIGHT SHOW YOU ARE GOING 40 AND THE TAC WILL BE ON 2000RPM GOING DOWN THE HWY AND THE HEAT GAUGE WILL GO ALL THE WAY OVER AND THE ALL THE OTHER GAUGES WILL DO THAT ALSO OR THEY WILL DO NOTHING. *TR

2 YEARS AGO WHEN I HAD 12000 MILES ON MY MONTE CARLO SS INTIMIDATOR MY DASH GAUGES STARTED READING WRONG INFORMATION NOW AT 14607 MILES THE GAUGES DON'T WORK AT ALL EXCEPT FOR THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT CHEVY HELP CENTER 4 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS AND THEY HAVE NOT REPLIED TO MY E-MAILS FOR INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS WIDE SPREAD FACTORY INSTALLED FAULTY COMPONENT. ANY INFORMATION ODI CAN GIVE ME TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU *TR

FOLLOW UP TO ODI ID#10298010 IT WOULD SEEM THAT DEATH OR INJURY MUST RESULT FROM AN EQUIPMENT FAILURE TO WARRANT ACTION. I WAS LUCKY TO ESCAPE EITHER WHEN, WHILE DRIVING I 80 THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE SPEED CONTROL WAS SET AT 65MPH, BUT WHEN I REALIZED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INDICATING +100MPH, I REDUCED SPEED RAPIDLY AND WAS VERY NEARLY RUN OVER BY THE SEMI TRACTOR/TRAILER BEHIND ME. GM IS AWARE THAT COMPONENTS IN THESE INSTRUMENT PANELS ARE DEFECTIVE. PLEASE,DEMAND A RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GAUGES, SPEEDOMETER FROZE, GAS, OIL, AND RPM PEGGED... *TR

TACHOMETER IS THE ONLY GAUGE LEFT WORKING NOW ON MY 2004 MONTE CARLO SS DALE EARNHARDT JR. EDITION. OIL PRESSURE, BOOST GAUGE, WATER TEMP AND FUEL GAUGE ALL SHOW INCORRECT READINGS AT VARIOUS TIMES FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. YESTERDAY THE SPEEDOMETER REFUSED TO SHOW ANY SPEED AT ALL. I AM NOW FORCED TO USE THE CAR'S OVERHEAD CONSOLE COMPUTER TO SHOW ME HOW MUCH FUEL I'VE USED AND MY GARMIN GPS TO TELL ME WHAT MY SPEED IS. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO OPERATE A CAR IN. THE CAR HAS 71,000 MILES ON IT. THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. CHEVY SAYS THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT THE COST IS PROHIBITIVE. THE CLUSTER ON THE DALE JR. EDITION IS DIFFERENT FROM THE STANDARD CLUSTER (CAR # AND SIGNATURE) SO IT IS UNLIKELY THAT MY CAR WILL REMAIN ORIGINAL WITH A REPLACEMENT CLUSTER. GM NEEDS...

I OWN A 2004 MONTE CARLO SS, WHETHER DRIVING ON HWY OR CITY ROADS I LOOSE ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, IE LIGHTS,GAUGES,RADIO FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS, ENOUGH TO GET YOUR ATTENTION AND THEN ALL COMES BACK ON, NO INTERRUPTION IN THE RUNNING OF THE CAR, I'M AFRAID THAT IT MAY GET WORSE AND THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN , I HAVE HAD THIS LOOKED AT BY A DEALER SERVICE DEPT AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE TROUBLE AND THERE ARE NO CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER, I HAVE 61000 MILES ON AND WE LIKE THE CAR, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS PLUS. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL GAUGES GONE BAD FOR MY VEHICLE. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STARTS AT A RANDOM POINT ON THE GAUGE AND ALWAYS READS INCORRECT. WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS, THE NEEDLE MAY TURN 180 - 360 DEGREES AROUND THE GAUGE, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE SPEED, MAKES USING THE CRUISE CONTROL OPTION DANGEROUS, AND A HIGHER RISK OF GETTING STOPPED FOR A SPEEDING TICKET. THE TACHOMETER GAUGE WORKS 50% OF THE TIME BUT THE OTHER TIMES THE NEEDLE IS IN THE "RED ZONE" GIVING THE DRIVER A FALSE SENSE OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. THE TEMP GAUGE WORKS 90%, BUT IN COLD WEATHER IT CAN STAY ABOUT THE HALFWAY LINE ALSO SHOW A WRONG READING OF THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. *TR

FAILURE OF SPEEDOMETER OTHER INSTRUMENTS IN THE CLUSTER APPEAR TO BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WILL REGISTER PROPERLY AND THE NEXT MINUTE IT WILL SAY 15 WHEN THE SPEED IS ACTUALLY 55 OR ABOVE. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY TO THIS PROBLEM AS IT WILL MALFUNCTION AT ANY TIME. USING THE CRUISE CONTROL APPEARS TO HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. I AM AMAZED AT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS REGISTERED HERE AND THERE STILL HAS BEEN NO RECALL. GM CAN BE REACHED AT 800-222-1020 AND A COMPLAINT CAN BE FILED WITH THEM ALSO. I INQUIRED ABOUT A RECALL AND I WAS NOT ASKED IF I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I HAD TO ASK THEM IF I COULD. EVERY CALL SHOULD COUNT. *TR

THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR UNTIL ONE NIGHT AND THEY SUDDENLY I LOOK DOWN AND MY SPEEDOMETER SAYS I'M GOING 110 WHEN I'M ONLY GOING 30. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY. I WILL BE DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND THEN MY SPEEDOMETER WILL BE READING THE WRONG THING. MY TACHOMETER WILL BE WRONG AS WELL. I WENT TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT TO FIX IT WOULD BE 350 DOLLARS. WHILE I WAS THERE THEY SAID THAT THE GM TRUCKS HAD A RECALL FOR THEY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IT IS THE SAME ONE THAT IS IN MY MONTE CARLO. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TOWARDS ANYONE WHO HAS THIS TYPE OF MODEL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOPPED WORKING. THE SPEEDOMETER READS 100 MPH WHEN THE CONTACT IS REALLY DRIVING 30 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURS DAILY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST $350-400. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

I HAVE HAD THE CAR SINCE 3/05 BRAND NEW OFF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR, CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 38K MILES ON THE VEHICLE -SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE MORE THAN 20 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ALL OF THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE SEATBELT LIGHT WILL CHIME --THEN THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON FOR APPROX 15 TO 20 MINUTES-HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE ON FOR SERVICE NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE REPLACED MODULE AFTER MODULE -CANNOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. ON AT LEAST 5 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 50MPH OR MORE THE VEHICLE WILL JUST TURN OFF AND EVERYTHING WILL LOCK UP. VEHICLE WILL RESTART RIGHT AWAY BUT THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO STALL OR TURN OFF --HAD IN FOR SERVICE NUMEROUS TIMES -HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND THEN IT WILL HAPPEN ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE IS...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER DIAL WOULD BEGIN AT 80 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO BACK DOWN TO 0 MPH. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED, BUT THE CONTACT HAS SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR. HE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,765 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,715.

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK, IT MIGHT READ 35MPH WHEN YOUR ARE GOING 55MPH, OR IT MIGHT READ 99MPH WHEN YOUR GOING 55MPH. SOMETIMES IT STAY AT 35 MPH WHEN YOU STOP, AND STARTS FROM THERE. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE, LOSS OF SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE SPEEDOMETER DIAL RANDOMLY MOVES UP AND DOWN REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED. THE SPEEDOMETER HAS DISPLAYED 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP SIGN, AS WELL AS 15 MPH WHEN THE CONTACT WAS REALLY TRAVELING AT LEAST 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. CURRENTLY, THE DIAL REMAINS AT ZERO. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT BECAUSE SHE IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT SPEED SHE IS TRAVELING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER DIAL MOVED BACK AND FORTH INADVERTENTLY. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,700 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

2004 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO GAUGE CLUSTER IS ERRATIC AND DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY I DID RECEIVE A RECALL FOR MY 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT AM NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT VEHICLE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON ALL 2004 MODELS AS THEY ARE ALL MADE AT THE SAME MANUFACTURER. *TR

MY OIL PRESSURE GAGE WENT OUT THEN MY TACHOMETER WENT OUT AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ALONG WITH OTHER AREAS IN MY DASH SEEM TO HAVE A SHORT BECAUSE IT WORKS ON AND OFF. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 MONTE CARLO THAT HAS RECENTLY HAD ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC, FROM OBSERVING A BLOG I NOTICED THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON ISSUE. I AM LOOKING FOR SOME HELP WITH THIS REPAIR AS I UNDERSTAND THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAN BE RATHER EXPENSIVE AND SINCE THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A UNIQUE PROBLEM CAUSED BY ME. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS REPAIR NEEDS TO BE MADE BY A DEALER, THERE ARE 2 LOCAL DEALERS WHICH I HAVE PURCHASED FROM AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO BRING THIS PROBLEM TO THEM, BUT I WOULD HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH THE COST OF A NEW INSTRUMENT PANEL NOT SO MUCH WITH THE COST OF LABOR. I WOULD LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE QUICKLY BEFORE I START GETTING ANY SPEEDING TICKETS I ALSO BELIEVE THIS CONSTITUTES A SAFETY RISK SINCE I CAN NOT ACCURATELY DETERMINE...

PURCHASED '04 MONTE CARLO SS AUGUST 2007 (23,713 MILES). THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES BEGAN GETTING STUCK, GOING COMPLETELY AROUND AND SIMPLY DO NOT WORK. BEGAN AT APPROX 38-39,000 MILES. PAID OVER 1,600 FOR EXT WARRANTY AND ADD'L 300 FOR 'FIXING' THE PROBLEM. STILL BROKEN AND CHEVY DOESN'T RECALL! ALSO HEATED SEATS ARE GETTING SCALDING HOT. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES ARE NOT READING CORRECTLY. IT STARTED WITH THE GAS GAUGE AND HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO ALL GAUGES IN ERROR. HAVE TALKED TO OTHERS AND LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE. I CONSIDER THIS A HAZARD SINCE SPEED AND ENGINE CONDITION CANNOT BE DETERMINED. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 MONTE CARLO LS AND ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED AND NOW IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. I HAVE DEALT WITH IT AND PAID AN ISSUED SPEEDING TICKET. TODAY THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS READING HOT. I IMMEDIATELY PANICKED AND PULLED OVER WONDERING WHY MY CAR WOULD BE OVER HEATING AFTER ONLY 2 MILES WORTH OF DRIVING. I SAT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE OPENING THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT HOT AND HAD COOLANT. WHEN I GOT IN TO CONTINUE MY DRIVE I STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY PAST HOT TO THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION WHERE IT IS NOW STUCK RESTING AGAINST THE FUEL GAUGE. IM NOW AFRAID OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE SPECIALLY IF THE NEXT GAUGE GOES TOO. THE REPAIR MUST BE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT 500-1500 DOLLARS. I AM...

MY 2004 CHEVY MONTE CARLO DASH BOARD JUST STOP WORKING GM DID NOTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I AM STILL DRIVING WITHOUT ANY DASH BOARD INSTRUMENTS AND THEY WONDER WHY AMERICANS BUY HONDAS THIS IS THE LAST CHEVY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND TEMP GAUGE SUDDENLY GOES IN CIRCLES AND FINALLY STOPS BELOW THE COLD TEMP , LESS THAN WHERE THE NEEDLE USUALLY IS WHEN YOU FIRST START UP THE CAR. DOES NOT GO BACK TO WORKING, COOLANT SENSOR IS OK, ACCORDING TO CHEVY DEALER, NEED WHOLE NEW CLUSTER INSTRUMENT PANEL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO TO 30 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 35 MPH EVEN THOUGH HE WAS DRIVING 65 MPH. THE FAILURE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR A YEAR AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE TRAVELS AT SPEEDS THAT ARE NOT WITHIN REGULATION AND COULD LEAD TO SPEEDING TICKETS AND CRASHES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 39,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

ALL DASH GAUGES HAVE FAILED (ONE AT A TIME) INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER (WHICH WAS THE LAST GAUGE TO FAIL ON 7-21-08). TRUNK RELEASE (ELECTRONIC) FAILED. HAVE BEEN TOLD THE ONLY WAY TO GET DASH CLUSTER REPAIRED IS THROUGH A DEALER. DEALER REFUSES TO SELL NECESSARY PART TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. *TR

SPEEDOMETER WENT HAYWIRE BACK IN FEB 2008. WOULD READ MANY MPH HIGHER THAN CURRENT SPEED. WOULD READ 30-40MPH AT IDLE OR WHEN SHUT OFF. TOOK CAR TO CHEVY DEALER. THEY TESTING IT AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $500 TO REPLACE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IT WORKED FINE UNTIL TODAY WHEN THE PROBLEM RETURNED. DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND MANY 2004 CHEVY OWNERS (MONTE CARLO'S AND IMPALA'S) WITH SAME PROBLEM. GM DOES NOT APPEAR TO WANT TO DO ANYTHING. RESEARCH ASKED ANYONE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM TO REPORT TO GM AND NHTSA. *TR

THE SPEEDOMTER AND RPM GAUGES WORK IRRATICALLY, AND ARE NOT ACCURATE. THERE WERE NO SIGNS THAT THIS WAS STARTING IT JUST ONE DAY STARTED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SERVERAL OWNERS OF THE 2004 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO'S IN MY AREA, AND ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL THESE DASH CLUSTERS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH,THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. NO DASH PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE A FAILURE. THE ENGINE WAS EASILY RESTARTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED WHICH INDICATED THE FUEL RELAY CONNECTOR HOSE WAS LOOSE. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS REPAIRED, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING FURTHER INSPECTION. UPDATED ON 05/16/2006. THE BRAKES PULSATED WHILE BRAKING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THE WERE PITTED AND WARPED. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE REAR BRAKES. *AK *NM

WARPED DASHBOARD IN MY 2004 MONTE CARLO, RADIO FACE ALSO GETS BLISTERING HOT, TRUNK LID OPEN APPEARS ALL THE TIME ON DASH, TOO K TO DEALER, TRUNK LID FIXED NEW DASH INSTALLED 3 DAYS LATER DASH WARPED WORSE THAN BEFORE AND BOTH SIDE PILLARS NOW CRACKED, BRAKES STILL NOISY AND PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, DEALER STATES NORMAL. SCHEDULING FOR MY SECOND DASHBOARD, AND STILL NO ANSWERS ON WHY YOU CANT TOUCH THE RADIO. *NM
