Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Speedometer jumps erratically at speeds above 50 mph. not covered under extended warranty although brochure leads you to believe so. dealership knew it was the speedometer itself and not a dry cable because of history of same problems. 2nd problem; at appox 80,000 miles the drivers side rear seat belt would not retract. i recognize that things do break, but when the passenger side rear seat belt wouldn't retract just a few months later, i came to the conclusion that there is a design defect. *ak
