Consumer Description

AFTER SITTING IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING AT 100 MPH AND I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. AT THE TIME, I HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. SINCE THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WAS ALMOST ALWAYS INCORRECT. IT HAS OCCASIONALLY FIXED" ITSELF, BUT USUALLY DID NOT LAST MORE THAN A DAY OR TWO. THE NEEDLE WAS OFTEN BURIED PAST 120 MPH. A NUMBER OF MY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. CURRENTLY I HAVE NOT PAID TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, BUT HOPE THAT IT WILL BE RECALLED AT SOME POINT SOON.*AK
