Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER HAS BECOME UNRELIABLE; IT STICKS / JERKS WHILE DRIVING AFTER WHICH IT DOES NOT DISPLAY AN ACCURATE SPEED. I'VE HAD MY SPEEDOMETER READ 30MPH WHILE COMPLETELY STOPPED. IT HAS A GREATER TENDENCY TO STICK AROUND 50-60MPH. REPEATEDLY STARTING THE ENGINE, CAUSING THE SPEEDOMETER TO GO THROUGH ITS RESET CYCLE WILL MOVE THE NEEDLE BACK TO 0MPH IN APPROXIMATELY 5MPH INCREMENTS FOR EVERY START. THIS ONLY PROVIDES A BIT OF RELIABILITY FOR SHORT TRIPS.
