Consumer Description

SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING; TODAY'S EXAMPLE; WE WERE ENTERING AN INTERSTATE AND ACCELERATING TO THE 65 MPH POSTED SPEED LIMIT, AND THE SPEEDOMETER LOCKED AT 45 AND STAYED THERE. DID NOT CHANGE AND REMAINS THERE UNTIL WE GOT THE CAR HOME. THE WORST PART IS MY SON, A STUDENT DRIVER WAS DRIVING AND HAD NO WAY TO KNOW HOW FAST HE WAS GOING AND HAD TO REMAIN THERE UNTIL WE COULD GET OFF THE INTERSTATE AND EXCHANGE PLACES. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AS WELL AS THIS SITE, AND SEE MANY MORE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. *TR
