Consumer Description

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. VERY DANGEROUS - WHILE TRYING TO RESUME SPEED ON AN INTERSTATE I NEARLY CRASHED INTO THE INTERSTATE BARRIER/WALL ON A CURVE THE OTHER NIGHT BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER READ 70. I THEN SLOWED TO "STAY WITH THE FLOW" AND SPEEDOMETER READ 35 (ASSUMING TRAFFIC WAS DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70). NOW IT START OF OK AND THEN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT WILL START TO DROP AND AFTER A STOP WILL STAY AT 0 WHILE DRIVING INTERSTATE SPEEDS, WILL STICK AT 55 WHEN PROBABLY GOING ABOUT 10. IT IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE FAILURE IS NOW DAILY AND IS FAR TOO DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY AND I TO DRIVE. HOPE THIS GETS RECALLED QUICKLY BEFORE IT CAUSES DEATHS. *TR
