Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Inaccurate speedometer - after an hour with cruise control set on 65 mph during each down hill segment the speedometer would increase about two miles per hour. on the up hill segment it did not decrease to 65. after the second downhill segment it read 67, the next it read 69, after about 20 up hill, down hill cycles, speedometer indicated over 100 mph. the rpm was about 1900 which is about 65 mph. when i stopped for gas, the speedometer rested at 42 mph. over the next several days it worked back to zero when the vehicle was stopped. one week later the event occurred again. today i spoke to the service advisor at my dealership and he showed me a list of people waiting for "instrument clusters" for this same problem. *nm
