Consumer Description

DT: THE CONTACT HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE. THE FIRST PROBLEM AFFECTED THE SPEEDOMETER GIVING FALSE READINGS. REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED, THE SPEEDOMETER READS 120 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK OR COMPLETELY STOPPED THE SPEEDOMETER READS 60 MPH. THE SECOND PROBLEM INVOLVED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THEY WIPE IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. ONE WIPER GOES LEFT AND THE OTHER GOES RIGHT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HIT EACH OTHER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN MADE. *AK
