Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING NOTICED THAT I WAS GOING FASTER THAN THE SPEEDOMETER SAID. FELT LIKE I WAS GOING AT LEAST 80 WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER SAID 45 MPH. KEPT WATCHING AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP THE METER WOULD READ BELOW ZERO. TRIED RESTARTING THE TRUCK AND IT RESET TO ZERO BUT WHILE HOLDING A SET SPEED THE METER WOULD CONTINUOUSLY DROP. NEXT DAY WORKED FINE. 2 DAYS LATER I NOTICED THE METER DROP OFF AGAIN. WHEN I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF THIS TIME IT GOT STUCK AT 30MPH. DROVE FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND TRIED SHUTTING IT OFF AND STARTING IT AGAIN THIS TIME IT STAYED AT ZERO. IT TOLD THE WIFE NOT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT IS FIXED. I DON'T WANT HER IN THERE WITH MY CHILD IF THERE WAS A WRECK DUE TO NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED THE TRUCK IS REALLY GOING. *TR
