Hi Enrique,
Sorry that you are having problems with your Monte : (
[align=center]The problemcould bea bad stepper motor on the back of the speedometer. I've read several post on the web that[/align][align=center]the motor that control's the speedometer can short[/align][align=center]out, and then go out completely.[/align][align=center]I've read repair cost from $300 + : ([/align][align=center]The cluster has to be removed & the stepper motor[/align][align=center]replaced. Several GM products have had this problem : ([/align][align=center]I hope your 05 is still under warranty.[/align][align=center]I would check with your Dealer's Service Dept [/align][align=center]to get an estimate on repairs.[/align][align=center]Good Luck[/align][align=center]`Space[/align][align=center][/align]

RE: speedo gauge
Write-up a detailed description of the trouble you are having with your Speedo and Date it and put the Mileage on it and bring that with you to yoaur dealership's Service Department and have them put it in your file. That way, you'll have submitted the trouble report to them while your Monte Carlo is still covered and will have a record of the problem occurring BEFORE the Warranty expires.
If youth think you are going to be having some issues with your car ... you might want to consider buying an Extended Warranty. One came with my Monte and it already saved me almost 5-hundred dollars when I had to have a Turn Signal Stalk replaced.
