Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA NEAR MY RESIDENCE, I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER STUCK @ 30MPH EVEN AFTER I STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. MY SON REMOVED THE FUSE & THEN RE-INSERTED IT. SPEEDOMETER THEN WENT BACK TO ZERO SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A LOOSE FUSE. SAME THING HAPPENED SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND SPEEDOMETER STUCK @ 50MPH. MY SON REMOVED & RE-INSERTED THE FUSE AND SPEEDOMETER WENT BACK TO ZERO. BUT A FEW DAYS AGO WHILE DRIVING IN A 30MPH ZONE, THE SPEEDOMETER EVENTUALLY STUCK @ 110MPH. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE & MODEL OF VEHICLE. I'M SURPRISED THAT A RECALL HAS NOT OCCURRED BECAUSE THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
