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.
Check engine light, Evap Gross leak, was told that don't really need to be corrected, but if there is another issue then I will not be able to tell because the stupid check engine light never goes off.
Check engine light came on. Read code PO455 which is the EVAP emission control system (gross leak). Has to be taken into dealership to have fuel system tested. Car has been nothing but I problem since I bought it new 3 years ago! Will not buy another GM vehicle. I have a 2004 Ford F150 never had a problem!!!
