St … art at the corner near the dash speaker and lift the whole panel up. The dealer advised the contact that the vehicle was no longer under warranty and he would have to pay for the repairs. My wife told me to slow down but I told her I was doing the speed limit. Speed does not register properly seems to be whenever it wants it will show speeds higher then what they are. This exposes the instrument cluster.
There are two right above your guages facing up and two facing down. Remove the 2 top Phillips screws of the instr cover with a stubby screw driver and tilt the steering wheel down out of the way. My guess, the motors are simply reastats, when they malfunction they allow a stray voltage to energize pathes of circuit board were not supposed to be. While driving, the odometer went to about 60 mph, when I was going about 40 mph and I tried to decrease the speed by depressing the brake pedal but it remained at 60 mph. My speedo is a safety issue the government should issue a repair or replace mandate to the dealers. Do people really have to die or be injured before something is done to protect us?.
It is a pain in the ass cause no gauges work. Have to bear down on pedal to stop. You are free to have you're own opinion but the simple truth is economics. ? Be careful to lab … el connections before taking them off! A recall is a recall no matter the mileage. Tilt steering column down to lowest position. This is my primary vehicle. They also said they hadn't had many complaints on the Impala which must be a lie when all you have to do is Google it and many issues come up pertaining to cluster problems.
Oh no it is only up to 70,000 miles. This is in addition to the speedometer, and other instrument panel issues that have had to be repaired over the last 2-3 years after the warranty expired. Since then a week has gone by and problem has returned. I guess it depends on how much a company wants to do what's in the best interest of their customers vs. The defect is the speedometer on the truck. Speedometer showed 52 mph and was actually going 70 mph, verified by state trooper using moving radar. To me, if something is making noise, this means there is contact with at least two components causing wear.
Blinker did not work, but turn signal stayed lit and indicated I as turning. Since all manufacturers have turned instrument clusters into complicated computers, problems have been very common. Last, on a 45 mph road I was traveling at 45 mph and suddenly my speedometer shot up to 75, despite my speed being maintained at 45 per the gps unit. Once the cover is removed it is easy to remove the 4 Phillips screws holding the cluster in. Now the two retaining screws that hold the gauge trim can be removed.
They started that nonsense to cost you money around 2002 on some models and with some computers. You should be successful with one of those solutions. As I have been doing my research this is a very common problem with thousands of people. You must first remove the Trim plate from the dash. The next day it went all the way to hot.
I don't recall the dates of either incident so the date I enter is not accurate. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. Don't really know why it stopped after the installation of the new motors. They know they have an electronic defect, maybe not a safety problem, maybe so. I turned the key on and off and it went down by 10 mph.
This may also explain why other led's burnt out. Called the dealer, and amazing enough the warranty on that particular item just expired in January. So why did they ask to have the truck taken in for an inspection? Had to park the car. Speedometer was showing 85 mph while driving approximately 40 mph. I have 3 little girls and this is our main source of transportation.
