Consumer Description

WHEN COLD OUTSIDE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WILL READ INACCURATE TEMPERATURES AND GAUGE IS STUCK TO FAR LEFT AND DOES NOT BUDGE. A WEEK LATER THE GAS GAUGE ALSO GAVE OUT. DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IN TANK! WAS DRIVING ACROSS THE STATE ON A VACATION TRIP AND WAS USING CRUISE CONTROL. ONCE TAKEN OFF CRUISE CONTROL THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 65MPH AND WILL NOT CHANGE. VERY DANGEROUS. GOING ON LONG DISTANCE TRIPS AND NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS, MY SPEED OR THE TEMPERATURE OF THE INTERNAL SYSTEM IS SCARY INDEED. *TR
