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.
Went to a different shop and used a different brand and had it replaced again with another new part and lasted 7 to 8 wks. And having to take it back in to have replaced again. No one can figure out why the coil pack and ignition module to keeps failing.

Replaced for a 3rd time with another new coil pack and ignition module and lasted 2 to 3 weeks.
