...it's a known problem. Take it back to the dealership for correction.
speedometer spiking up to 120 while stopped?
:question: anyone heard of anything like this before I've noticed it probally 4 or 5 times for sure but other times I questioned it. Speedometer spikes both digital and needle when stopped at a stoplight or rolling slowly usually shoots between 80-120. I have a 2011 cruze 6spd mt bought back in march with 11k miles now. No problems till I noticed this recently anyone know a problem / solution or should this be checked by dealer ?
Edit: it only happens seldomly not all the time maybe 2 or 3 times a week ( that I notice )

Saw it on mine but only happens once but only up to 30 scared the **** out of me but I guess its happend to everyone
Is there a tsb or anything ? Took my car in for the steering shaft recall which they previous told me it wasn't under recall about 3 months ago got a postcard saying I needed to get it checked. When I did get it checked for recall I told them about the speedometer he looked at me said that's weird and told me it'd take 10 mins to look at the recall and sent me on my way I'm really disapointed with Chevy service departments right now . Once again they blew off another concern of mine
I had mine in for the same problem. Dealer really couldn't find what the problem was. The contacted TAC and they had no files related. The were instructed to recalibrate the body control module and they swapped the ignition main relay. I have had it do it again once or twice and only briefly so it is not that bad. If it gets worse I will mention it again.
Funny - that was the same problem the 2004 GTO Clusters had (also a Holden product)
Need to look at the vss sensor
...check: PI-0276A - Chaffed Wheel Speed Sensor Harness.Need to look at the vss sensor
The pi0276a is for the wheel speed sensor.need to look at vehicle speed Sensor. on a mt it is at the front of the transmission
Same or different?
I do not have this problem when driving/stopped but both my tach and speedometer go all the way up as soon as the car starts, while all of the warning indicator lights are on. Only lasts a second and NO, my foot is not on the gas. The car does not rev, only the needles move. Is this normal?:question:

That is normal. The computer is doing self diagnosis. If you notice on the digital display it says "checking".

How did you get them to do anything? My dealer is saying they can't do anything because they didn't find any codes or witness it.
That's what I like about the dealers. They can only fix something if there is a code. Don't they train mechanics any more?
I know I tried giving them some suggestions as to what to look at (didn't go over too well) and got the run around "well we can't go looking for a problem because GM won't cover the replacement if we don't have the code or the tech didn't witness it."That's what I like about the dealers.

Yes they do train the auto tech. You need to find a good tech to look at the car.That's what I like about the dealers. They can only fix something if there is a code. Don't they train mechanics any more?
I've been having the same issue with my '11 Cruze. It's happened just under a dozen times since I purchased the car in Feb of this year. All my guages max out, the interior lights come on and my stereo blasts up to full volume. All lasts about 1-2 seconds and only when my clutch is engaged.
Scares the s**t out of me everytime with the sudden volume increase, lol.
Thinking it's time to take it back to the dealer. My question is... how many other people are having this issue and does anyone know for SURE if GM is aware of this? Just want to have some info in case I receive any push-back from the service department.
