About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Speedometer doesn't work most of the time. It will freeze or go to 0 at any time or at any speed. This is a G.M. problem that has resulted in recalls on some SUV's but not any cars. If you were to google G.M speedometer problems you will get over 200,000 hits. Dealers know the problem exists but G.M is denying it is a safety problem. I have to assume when you are driving a car and don't know how fast you are going that is a safety issue. G.M customer service says there may be a recall someday if they get enough complaints...the car in question is a 2004 with 9500 miles. I feel this is something that needs to be researched. To recall some trucks and SUV's but not the cars is stupid. I would hope our gov't can help resolve this problem...after all G.M would like our tax dollars. Thank you

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.
