CarComplaints.com Notes: Widespread instrument panel failure is a common and frustrating reality for many 2004-2005 Chevy Cavalier owners. They're often left in the dark when it comes to knowing how fast they're going, what their engine temperature is, or even how much fuel they have left in the tank.

The likely culprit is a series of bad "stepper motors" which control the gauges and are no longer covered under warranty. Think not being able to see your speed is a safety issue and should be recalled for all owners? We'd agree. Trouble is, apparently the NHTSA does not.

My driver side mirror stopped working. It is electric or motorized whatever. The stick on the inside does not control the movement anymore. It doesn't move the mirror at all anymore! Now I am back to rolling down the window to adjust it. Will be getting this fixed soon.
