Consumer Description

MY SPEEDOMETER IS NOT GIVING THE RIGHT SPEED OR SOMETIMES, IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK AT ALL. I STILL GET MY TOTAL MILE ON THE ODOMETER BUT NOT MY SPEED. THIS IS A LOW MILEAGE, BARELY USED TRUCK AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I'M GOING? SOMETIMES IT WORKS BUT IS STILL OFF AND OTHER TIMES, IT JUST STOPS WORKING ALL TOGETHER. IF IT IS COLD, IT STOPS WORKING AND YOU HEAR A TAPPING NOISE COMING OUT OF THE CLUSTER. IF IT IS WARM WEATHER, YOU GET SOME RESPONSE OUT OF IT BUT IT IS NOT CORRECT. I WAS ALREADY PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT. THERE ARE I BELIEVE, 5 DIFFERENT SPEED SENSORS ON THE TRUCK AND I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IS NOT WORKING. I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS! THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON CHATS AND FORUMS WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE CHEAP PARTS? *NM
