Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN STICKING APPX 70,000MI. IN SUMMER 2011. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AN THEY STATED THE PANEL NEEDS REPLACED @ A COST $450.00 AND ONLY 5 TO 10MPH OFF AT THE TIME. I LET IT GO AT THAT TIME. SINCE THEN THE ALT. GAUGE STARTED JUMPING(CHANGED BATTERY) STILL JUMPING. NOW THE OIL PRESSURE GAGE BOTTOMED OUT AND I WAS OUT OF TOWN. HAD THIS CHECKED OUT AND THE PANEL NEEDS REPLACED NOW. SINCE THE OIL PRESSURE WENT OUT THIS IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE! DO I TRUST THE ELEC. PANEL? (NO!). SINCE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, IT'S TIME FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR AND I'LL HAVE TO HAVE IT FIX NOW. *TR
