NHTSA Complaint #10219880 — 2004 BUICK LESABRE

DRIVING MY CAR AROUND 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE BEGAN TO CLIMB WITHOUT ANY MORE ACCELERATION TO THE GAS. THE NEEDLE WENT PAST THE 140 MPH MARK AND THEN BOTTOMED OUT HANGING COMPLETELY STILL. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR IT REMAINED HANGING UNTIL A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THEN IT WOULD BEGIN TO CLIMB BUT NEVER REACHED THE CORRECT SPEED. (I HAVE THE MPH IMAGE ON MY WINDSHIELD THAT REVEALS MY SPEED-WHICH STILL WORKS). THE NEEDLE ON MY SPEEDOMETER CONTINUES TO FLUCTUATE OR REMAIN FROZEN EACH TIME I DRIVE MY CAR-IT NEVER MATCHES THE MPH IMAGE ON MY WINDSHIELD. THANKFULLY I HAVE THIS IMAGE, OR IT COULD OF CAUSED SERIOUS BRAKING OR PANIC THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS TELLING ME I WAS GOING OVER 140 WHEN I ACTUALLY I WAS NOT. *TR
