All gauges were accurate until one morning when I was driving and noticed that the speedometer was stuck on 50 when car wash completely stopped. As I drove farther the speedometer rose to 70 when at a complete stop. The RPM gauge is reading 0 when car is in motion which is completely impossible.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds or while stopped at an idle, the engine stalled without warning. Afterwards, the engine was easily restarted. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who determined the battery, air flow sensor, altitude sensor, and the fuel filter fitting needed to be replaced. Although the replacements were made, the problem persisted. The manufacturer was notified.
When driving my 2004 sunfire the dash seems to get really hot and smells like something is burning. I am afraid that it is going to catch on fire.
I was driving my new 2004 sunfire that was just purchased at the end of august, when I saw a flame come out from under the dash near my foot. I slammed on the brakes, through it in park and jumped from the vehicle. The vehicle was totaled!
When stopping at a stop light vehicle stalled, and the battery light came on.
