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.

Had to replace the passenger side window motor. I had rolled it down and it would not go back up I had to go to school and so I put peel and stick plastic wrap and weatherproofing film over the hole since I had to drive on the freeway and it was very cold out. That didn't work the plastic ripped and almost flew off. My husband replaced the motor. The car wasn't that old and we really didn't roll that window down that much. I can remember when buying a Chevy was good when it was a good car now they dollar you into the poor house. Wake up Chevy and take some pride in your workmanship
