Consumer Description

SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC. STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. SPEEDOMETER MAXES OUT, DOES NOT WORK OR READS IMPROPERLY. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE 03 AND 04 MODELS HAVE A RECALL ON THE STEPPER MOTOR BUT THE 05 MODEL DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY 90% OF THE TIME. DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000 MILES NOW AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. DEALER SAID THAT A REPLACEMENT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $500 TO FIX. WHO CAN AFFORD THIS AFTER PAYING FOR A $35,000 VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY AFTER HAVING THE STEERING SHAFT REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES, NEW INTAKE GASKETS, CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, BLOWER MOTOR WIRES SMOKED AND MELTED. JUST A JUNKY TRUCK FOR THE HIGH PRICE. *TR
