#878804 | January 23, 2001

WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 40-50 MPH AND HITTING ANY KIND OF BUMPS SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WILL JUMP TO A HIGHER SPEED, AND THEN DRIVER WON'T KNOW AT WHAT SPEED HE WAS DRIVING. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER SAID THEY ARE WILLING TO FIX IT BUT AT CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. *AK THE SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED TWICE AND IS DEFECTIVE EVEN THOUGH THE MANUFACTRURER OF THE VEHICLE HAS NOT ISSUED RECALL NOTICE YET. *YH

#738204 | January 18, 2001

1ST REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, NEW PART LASTED UNDER 2 YEARS, NEXT REPLACEMENT WAS JUST UNDER $ 400 AND IT WAS WOBBLY, BUT COULDN'T BE ADJUSTED ANY BETTER. NEW CABLES WERE PUT IN, THE 2ND TIME, THE THIRD TIME, A USED CABLE WORKED BETTER THAN A NEW ONE. ALSO WE HAD OUR MECH. INSTALL A USED SPEEDOMETER, AS THE COST WAS PROHIBITIVE, AND THE DEALER WASN'T ABLE TO FULLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM ANYWAY. HOW CAN A CAR EAT SPEEDOMETERS ANYWAY? THE TICKING SOUND WAS SO IRRITATING, AND THE NEEDLE WAVERD SO MUCH YOU COULDN'T TELL YOUR SPEED. THAT IS UNSAFE, AND UNREASONABLE.

#735432 | November 1, 2000
