My mom was driving the car as normal down the road one day and all the guages in the entire dash suddenly stopped working. Some came back on and off a couple weeks. Some never did. But after a couple months all stopped working and now nothing works. No heat guage, no fuel guage, no temp guage, no speedometer, and no fuel guage.

Gauges for temperature do not work, sometimes reads below zero, sometimes slightly above there is no change in reading whether cold, or running for several hours - at any speed speed gauge works intermittently, sometimes recording 100 mph, when the car is doing no more that 20-30 mph. At other times, it seems to be running about the speed limit, when compared with other traffic, then record 100+mph.at other times, when going with traffic, the gauge reads 0mph there is no way to know if the car is overheating, or what speed the car is going. This has been the case for about two months, and I was told it was the 'setter', and would cost me $900. Which I did not have. It is very upsetting.

All gauges don't work. Speedometer, fuel, temperature.

There is a known issue with the gauges in the 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier causing them to malfunction or not function at all intermittently. This is a safety hazard because you do not know how much fuel you have, the temperature of your engine, or your speed when the gauges fail.

Already complained here once. Now my car fuel gage is broke gos all the way over and hits on my temp gauge every so offen. Dont really know how much gas I have in it, but least can go 300-365 miles. Depending on how much I drive. I dont think that it should break after only 41000 miles. Last time I wrote on here it was my temp gauge that hit on my speedometer.. think before long all will go out. Wish someone would do something for these cars, kind exp to keep fixing. Paid cash for the other one to be fixed. Only drive the car once in awhile. Its not an old car so. Not very safe car as far as I am concerned, dont have the money to go buy a new one........

The speedometer has failed to register any speed and is stuck in a position past the highest speed on the gage face. The tachometer needle jumps around also leaving you no way to judge your speed. I just bought the car. The previous owner said it failed some time ago while he was driving it. I am pacing other cars while I am waiting for repair parts to get here.

Speedometer stops working and stays on 100 car only has 35,000 miles, also the power steering line broke open and the emergency brake at times pops onto my tire causing my car to slam forward and then it releases. I replaced the brake line and the power steering line but the main problem is the speedometer /cluster

I purchased a 2005 Chevy Cavalier new in December of 2004 and in March of 2013 the gauges stopped working. They would randomly work one or the other now all my gauges have stopped working all together. I have no clue how fast I'm going or how many rpms I'm using or if the car is overheating or not!

A short while after I bought this car I noticed all of my gauges went out. I was nervous to even drive the car because I didn't know how much gas I had or how fast I was going. Now I'm constantly having trouble when iget gas. Even when I know for sure that I need gas after pumping for a few seconds, it never fails that the pump will stop as if my tank is full. This morning my check engine light came on. I take very good care of this car and all of these malfunctions seemingly one right after the other make me question the safety of this vehicle.

I have had some of the issues others have mentioned. Twice all the gauges went dead-stayed in the positions they were in when the ignition is off. Twice the horn didn't work- had to roll down the window and yell! when the gauges went the first time, I stumbled on the fix. I'd removed the fuse to test it-tested ok. Put it back in, now all gauges worked fine. I realized that the two problems are related-both get power through the fuse panel. The dash vibrates so much that these two in particular work loose. Now I remove the fuse panel cover every couple of months and push down on all fuses and relays. Problem solved. To the people with the "[xxx]" temperature gauge, good luck on that one. I hope this info helps. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have two problems that may be safety related. One more so than the other. The instruments, none of them work, but most important is the speedometer. It started hanging up, then finally hung all the way at 120 mph. I have to use a gps to make sure of my speed. GM is replacing other vehicles clusters for the same issue, but I have an idea they're skipping the Cavalier for the other reason of my complaint. The dashboard is literally falling apart. I don't know when it may try to fall on my lap, its cracked up so bad and rattles terribly. It seems like it could bust all to pieces in a collision. I can't even touch the cluster bezel without it cracking. It scares me. Could you at least investigate this and let me know what you find? thank you!

Gadge cluster doesn't display any correct information. At first the tach started reading incorrectly, ex. 4200 RPM with engine off/ reading does not change with engine speed (RPM). Next the temp gadge, ex. 200+ degrees when starting after 12+ hours engine still cold to the touch. Later the fuel gadge, reading changes and fluctuates moment to moment. Also the interior lights and security system seem to be involved. Alarm goes off spontaneously regardless if it has been enabled or not. Interior lights sometimes function sometimes not. Seems to be a major defect in the computer or electrical harness as individual components test ok. With some online research this seems to be a very common problem with this specific vehicle,
