Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS GONE HAYWIRE. IT GETS STUCK AT THE FAR RIGHT END SHOWING OVER 110 MPH WHEN I'M DRIVING ONLY 20 MPH. WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED, IT WILL SHOW 60 TO 70 MPH AS THE SPEED. ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE, IT WILL WORK FOR A FEW MINUTES OR SO. I DO NOT KNOW HOW FAST I AM ACTUALLY GOING AND THIS IS A VERY REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE BEEN TOLD I MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE MY DASH AND THIS COULD BE VERY COSTLY- I HAVE ONLY 26,000 MILES ON MY 2005 CAVALIER, HAVE OWNED FOR LESS THAN 4 YEARS, AND HAVE 2 YEARS YET TO PAY ON MY LOAN. *TR
