My speedometer gauge doesn't work it will get stuck on 20 mph constantly it never reads the correct speed but my other gauges work fine. My transmission shifts/slips harder than it should from 1st into 2ed and 2nd into 3rd. My headlights flicker when I push on my window controls to roll my windows up or down. The heat only blows on the passenger side of my car including on the defrost for the front windows and the rear window.

Since I brought my 2005 Chevrolet Impala in 2006, I have always have the same problem with my passlock system. One minute my car is driving fine. I park it go where I need to go and then come back to my car to leave and it won't start. I took it to the dealership in 2006 and they said it was an electrical problem and claimed that they fixed it. However since then it has happen to me repeatedly. According to the owner manual it says " leave the key in the ignition at the on position and wait until the security light is no longer flashing. Once it stops, turn the key to the off position and start the car." This never works for me. Sometimes the flashing light continue for the whole day, and my car is just stuck where ever the incident (security light flashing) occurs.

Speedometer gets stuck at different speeds. Can't determine real speed when this happens. Was told the instrument panel would need to be replaced. Speedometer started working again by itself so I did not replace the instrument panel. Now it is happening again. Checked online and there are many many of the same complaint. This should be a recall item.

- Norton, OH, USA

I purchased this car used with 59,000 miles. Drove it home, parked it for 2 days and the car would not start. Returned to dealer who replaced the battery and indicated the drain while off was with specs. Took car home and worked well for about 3 days. On the fourth day the car would not start again. Searched the web and found this is a very common issue with this car.

- San Jose, CA, USA

2005 Chevy Impala with a sticking speedometer. Stays at 85 when parked, and is very erratic. Have read many, many others with same problem and dealerships unwilling to fix this safety issue without fully charging for repair. Cannot afford car payment and over expense for shop repair that should be covered by dealership/manufacturer defect.

- Dodgeville, WI, USA

The instrument panel on my 2005 Chevy Impala just stopped working. The gas, speedometer, RPM gauges are all miss reading. When im parked the RPM is redlined, the speedometer reads 90 mph, and the gas gauge reads straight North above the full line. I'm stuck not knowing exactly how fast im going. The speedometer seems to go back and forth to reading correctly at times reading all the way South but never making it completely around.

The failure mileage was 72,000.

Speedometer not working properly. Sporadically changes to 100mph+ while driving any speed. Safety issue. GM customer assistance gave a big run-around. I had them and a dealership service manager on the phone together. GM cust. Asst. Said that they would have to know the cause of the problem before they would say if they would cover repairs. Service manager said that there are only two possible problems. Cust asst still would not say if they would repair. This is a serious safety issue. I guess someone will have to plow through some elementary school kids since I don't know how fast they are going in a school zone before they issue a recall.

All three of the gauges in my 05 Impala have malfunctioned. I have no way of knowing how much fuel is in the car, the temp of the engine, and at times the speed of the car. My research suggests a faulty stepper motor used by GM. While I can live with the fuel gauge malfunction and the temperature gauge malfunction, the speedometer malfunctioning presents a safety issue. When it acts up the gauge will indicate a speed that is obviously errant, leaving me guessing as to my actual speed.

The instrument panel on my 2005 Chevy Impala works intermittently. This includes gas, speedometer, and temperature gauges. The driver is left not knowing conditions of the vehicle. Seems to be worse in cold weather.

- Farmington, NM, USA

2005 Impala, failed instrument panel. Like the other 65+ complaints, my instrument panel began failing at 75,000 miles. At first, could reset with key to acc numerous times, no longer works. Unplug battery resets, but at any time starts again. It seems especially bad in cold weather. When speedometer does work, jumps from 20-40-60 mph with no change in actual speed of vehicle, or drops to 0. cost is over $500 from shadetree mechanic, $800 dealership, with no vehicle for days. Now, at 90,000 the temp gauge is gone too, constantly straight down, 400+ degrees, but vehicle not running hot. Am starting to fill gas tank even when not necessary, should be the next gauge to fail in the cluster. Unacceptable that there is no recourse for the consumer for what a $10 part, which is why it failed in the first place. My guess is, it isn't a pricey enough car to rate a repair.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Impala. While driving approximately 70 mph the speedometer stopped working. The speedometer would fail intermittently and over time it stopped functioning. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

- Richmond, IN, USA

The speedometer on my 2005 Chevrolet Impala ls stopped working and now the needle points straight down. There is no way for me to judge my speed which is very dangerous for me and other motorists. After researching this situation there seems to be a defect in a part called a cluster which is a dealer item and is very costly to repair, therefore my car has yet to be repaired. This bad cluster has also caused other system problems, gauges, heater, and traction control problems because apparently this part controls a lot of different systems. Someone needs to make GM recall this cluster and do the right thing by replacing these parts and repairing these dangerous cars.

1. my fuel gauge quit working as I was driving to work. All the other gauges kept working. The needle was pointing down and would move at the bottom when the vehicle was turned on and off. I spent $400 to replace the instrument cluster which appears to be a problem as listed on the complaints section. 2. I purchased a 2005 chev Impala 01/2006 with15,00 miles on it. I started to notice a bit of a hard shifting on take off, only after driving it in the city after about the 2nd year of driving. The problem never left, in fact it has gotten worse over the years that we have owned the car. The problem with my car is the transmission shifts hard and only seems to do it if you did a a lot of start and stopping and you could turn the car off and let it sit for 10 min. Or so then it won't do it again. Sometimes it would go for several days or weeks before it would happen again or will do it several times in a row. When I had the instrument cluster replaced I had them check for codes and found a P1811.

Speedometer is miss-reading, at 65mph I am reading 140mph, it will not reset back to zero. Now it has went a complete circle and is reading 3mph at 65mph GM will not cover the cost of replacement. I have no idea how fast or slow I'm going in a city in a school zone. This is a safety issue.
