Consumer Description

MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO STICK AT 60 MPH WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY AFTER EXITING OFF OF THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT. I THEN PROCEEDED ON MY WAY HOME IN A 30MPH ZONE AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WAS PEGGED OUT AT OVER 120MPH. FROM THEN ON SOMETIMES THE NEEDLE ON THE GAUGE ALMOST GOES TO ZERO UNTIL YOU START TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AND THEN IT PEG'S OUT AGAIN. CONSEQUENTLY MY WIFE AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST WE ARE GOING WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS OR DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE CHILDREN PLAY. I HAVE NOT PAYED TO REPLACE A 500 HUNDRED DOLLAR ITEM. *TR
