None of the gauges work properly Gm has not issued a recall despite the numerous complaints and it is a 500 to 800 dollar repair bill to replace the instrument cluster. 2005 Sunfire and the instrument cluster is malfunctioning.

Gm wants me to have a dealer check the vehicle when they are well aware of this issue as there are multiple posting from owners of this issue online.

FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS AFTER WORKING ALL DAY, I GO OUT AND START MY CAR AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK BELOW ZERO SO I HAVE TO DRIVE HOME ON THE FREEWAY NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND GM SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I...
