Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPS AND AT TIMES DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED EACH TIME. THE INTRUMENT CLUSTER INSTALLED LAST MONTH WAS BAD WHILE DRIVING IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT ITS NEXT OIL CHANGE. THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INCIDENTS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES EVEN WITH ITS HISTORY, AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER COUGARS.*AK
