I have a Chevy Impala (2004) and had almost identical problem including the MPH being way off and temperature gauge reading very hot. Mechanic replaced BCM Cluster and after a while, the problem persisted. No error codes ever showe up. Found posts relating to Ignition switch causing this exact type of behavior on the Avalanche, Suburban, and other SUV type vehicles, but not "cars" in particular. Had mechanic replace Ignition Switch after I simulated problem by wriggling key around in ignition and temperature gauge immediately shooting to as hot as is could go. Was not real cheap, but it fixed my problem.
