2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA Complaints

I BOUGHT A 2004 CHEVY IMPALA DROVE IT LESS THEN ONE YEAR WHEN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN TO NOT WORK. IT STARTED OUT BY GIVING A HIGH TEMP. READING THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT GO BACK DOWN TO 0 WHEN STOPPED. WHEN THE CAR DROVE AGAIN THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD INCREASE WHERE IT LEFT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO RESET THE SPEEDOMETER BY TURNING THE IGNITION TO ACCESSORY THEN OFF THEN BACK ON; IT WOULD GO DOWN IN SMALL INCREMENTS. THIS TEMPORARY FIX IS NO LONGER WORKING AND THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I HAVE GONE TO NUMEROUS WEBSITES AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS CAR ONCE THE MILEAGE REACHES ABOVE 50000. I WOULD LIKE FOR THERE TO BE A RECALL SO THAT CHEVY IS REQUIRED TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON 2004 IMPALA MAXED OUT WHEN DRIVING AND ALSO READ 40-70 WHILE PARKED. THE ENTIRE CLUSTER PANEL WAS REPLACED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED SINCE IT POTENTIALLY COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

CLUSTER IS OUT ON MY 2004 CHEVY IMPALA. THIS CONTROLS THE SPEED ODOMETER,TEMPERATURE GAUGE,GAS GAUGE,RPMS.FIRST THE SPEED ODOMETER WENT OUT THEN THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE MESSING UP NOW THE RPMS. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS CAR VERY LONG. ONLY HAS 66,000 MILES. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CRASHES OR INJURIES YET. BUT I DO HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN. AND I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY MATTER. THE PART IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I CAN'T AFFORD IT. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE TO MY KNOWLEDGE. *TR

2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA SPEEDOMETER OPERATING ERRATIC. DRIVING ON ICE IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I WAS GOING APPROX 60MPH AND IT SHOWED 38MPH. I WAS GOING PAST THE MILE MARKERS AT ONE PER 60 SECONDS. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE HAS QUITE WORKING AS WELL AS MY CLIMATE CONTROL MOTOR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITHOUT A WARRANTY. WHEN THINGS STARTED GOING WRONG A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT I STARTED LOOKING FOR INFO ONLY TO FIND LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUES I AM HAVING. I THINK THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND A RECALL ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING OR RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN A COLD OUT OF THE WAY PLACE UNABLE TO GET HELP. I HAVE MANAGED NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR RUN OUT OF GAS BUT OTHERS MAY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE. *TR

2004 IMPALA WITH A 3800 ENGINE.. SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT THE HIGHEST POINT IN READING, ABOVE 110 MPH WITHOUT THE CAR EVEN RUNNING. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 75 AND IT FELT LIKE WE WERE BARELY MOVING. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOPPED, THE SPEEDOMETER READ 40 MILES AN HOUR.. SO WE CONTINUED ON OUR WAY HOME, AND IT IS STILL STUCK ON 15. I WILL GET CHECKED OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE REASON THAT I'M COMPLAINING IS THAT I JUST LEARNED OF YOUR WEB SITE BY BROWSING ON MY PC FOR WARRANTY'S ON 2004 IMPALA'S. I READ A LOT OF THE COMPLAINT'S ABOUT PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THERE IMPALA'S. I NOTICED THAT I HAVE OR HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAVE, OR HAVE HAD WITH THE STEPPER MOTORS GOING BAD. SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS A RECALL TYPE PROBLEM HERE THAT GM IS NOT TAKING CARE OF IT HAS TO DO WITH ALL GM PRODUCTS FOR THE YEARS 2003 TO 2006. THIS IS NOT A PART THAT CAN BE ABUSED BY THE CAR OWNER. IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURE. THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE SEEN SEARCHING THE WEB FOR IMPALA SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS. *TR
