Consumer Description

THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOW WITH BOTH THE SPEEDOMETER AND TEMPERATURE GAUGE. I START THE CAR AND START DRIVING AND HAPPEN TO LOOK DOWN AND EITHER THE SPEEDOMETER OR THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WILL BE GIVING A FALSE HIGH READING. SEEING AS THE CAR HAD JUST STARTED IT COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE OVERHEATING. I FIND IF I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CYCLE THE KEY FROM OFF TO ON WITHOUT STARTING ENGINE I CAN GET IT TO DROP BACK TO WHERE IT SHOULD BE. I HEAR THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND IT WILL FAIL EVENTUALLY. I DRIVE HIGHWAYS MOSTLY AND NOT KNOWING MY CORRECT SPEED WHEN TRYING TO ENTER AND MERGE WITH TRAFFIC IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
