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 2004 Chevy has the clear coat bubbling up all over and in some places, it has come off all the way. The yellow now looks dingy, and dull. This car has only been hand washed, never through a mechanical car wash. Only soft sponges and approved soap have been used and it was hand dried with a chamois cloth. I have seen many other yellow Chevy cars with the same problem. I think that Chevy should fix this.
