Problems with 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo EQUIPMENT

A i p cluster. *tr

October 27, 2009 was the 3rd time in 4 days that the speedometer and tachometer have stopped working while driving or failed to work period. i don't know what led up to the failure it just started when i was driving home from work on friday october 23, 2009 and my cruise control was set at 65 mph and i noticed my car started slowing down and i was almost rearended i gave the car some gas and i noticed that my speedometer wasn't working nor was my tachometer. i haven't had anything done to correct the problem. i searched the internet and i have noticed that many many people have had this issue with 2002 through 2005 monte carlo's. this is a very dangerous problem that needs to be addressed. this will eventually take a life if not addressed and fixed by chevrolet. there is clearly a huge problem that must be recalled. i had a 1999 chevy silverado that was recalled for faulty tailgate support cables. this problem is much more serious than that was and it was recalled so why not this? the instrument panel in a car is the drivers information center and a huge safety concern if it is proven to be faulty. speed control is required by all states and if a car manufacturer has an issue this big with one of its products then it needs to be addressed and not hidden. this problem is also present in many other gm vehicles as well. research it i did and i know there is a huge problem. i am sure you can reach the same conclusion. took me only 2 hours of research for me to react. how long will it take the government? maybe never since they now have a vested interest in gm or maybe a few huge lawsuits against government motors will change its mind. *tr

I have a 2005 chevrolet monte carlo, supercharged ss, [xxx] signature series. the vehicle has active onstar, xm radio, sun roof and the rest of the bells and whistles connected with the vehicle. the problem is with the xm radio and onstar system. the antenna for all the radio systems are located on the rear roof, behind the sun roof. the problem occurs whenever you open the sunroof. the sunroof tilts up and covers the antenna. this causes the xm radio to lose signal. the main purpose of this complain is that the onstar also loses signal. this defeats the safety feature of the onstar system, because if you were in an accident, the onstar emergency personnel would not be notified and this would lead to severe injury and possibly death. i have taken the vehicle to ron anderson chevrolet in fernandina beach, fl. they contacted their gm complaint desk and the reply was "that's just the way it is. close the sunroof part way and that will help reception for the xm radio". there was some type of communication that i have a copy of that indicated the above, but said nothing about the onstar. with the sunroof open, the onstar cellular phone does not work, not i am almost postive that the emergency portion of the onstar is not working either. the vin # is [xxx]. chevrolet's postion indicated to me that they would not do anything to rectify this situation or even that they cared. the safety issue is what really concerns me, because the main reason that i purchased onstar was the fact that you had communications, and if emergency care was needed, it was there. this is an obvious safety issue and general motors, in my opinion, could care less. thanks for listening to me and i look forward to hearing from you or general motors. sincerely. *nm updated 07/17/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
