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. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT ON MY 2005 CHEVY IMPALA. IT HAPPENED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. I JUST HAD THE INSPECTION DONE AND HAD TO HAVE A NEW CLUSTER PUT IN. MY TOTAL COST WAS $500. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR COMPLAINTS, I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE ALOT OF THEM REGARDING THE CLUSTER TO STOP WORKING IN THE 2005 IMPALA. FOR BEING ONLY 6 YEARS OLD, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER WOULD NOT REGISTER AN ACCURATE READING WHICH CAUSED DIFFICULTY IN DETERMINING WHAT SPEED HE WAS DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE LOW FUEL LEVEL ALARM FAILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000. UPDATED 08/01/11*LJ UPDATED 08/02/11

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THE CONTACT STATED THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT REGISTER WHAT SPEED HE WAS DRIVING AND THE GAUGE WOULD SPORADICALLY FLUCTUATE FROM 100 MPH TO ZERO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HIM TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BEFORE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DETERMINE IF THEY COULD ASSIST WITH REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. 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. *TR

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. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING IN MY 2005 CHEVY IMPALA ON OR ABOUT OCT. 10, 2010. THIS IS A BIG CONCERN SINCE WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED & WE DON'T KNOW HOW FAST WE ARE GOING. *TR

AFTER CLEARING SNOW OFF THE WINDSHIELD WITH THE WIPERS, THEY NO LONGER GO TO THE PARK POSITION. THE WIPERS STOP IN AN UPWARD POSITION BLOCKING YOUR VIEW OF THE ROAD. FOUND BENT STOP TAB ON WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY DUE TO MANY WRITE UPS ON THE WEB. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE GM HAS A FIX FOR IT. I WAS QUOTED $500+ FOR A REPLACEMENT MOTOR ASSEMBLY. THE MOTOR STILL WORKS. *TR
