| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My speedometer is malfunctioning. this was first pointed out by an idaho state trooper when i was pulled over with my family in the truck pulling a trailer. my speedometer read 60 but i was clocked at 79 mph. this last weekend on a trip to down i-5 in california, i was doing what thought was 70 mph but i was passing a lot of cars and when i remember the issue my tachometer read 3500 rpm which means i was doing 80 plus. then yesterday (10/22/2006) my speedometer read 10 mph when my tach indicated 2100 rpm (~62 mph), which was confirm by by wife following in another vehicle. the problem is inconsistent. the speedometer seems to work for a while but then degrades and the speed indicated does nor reflect the actual speed. between the initial occurrence and 10/20 i did not make any trips longer than 20 minutes and did not notice a problem except for a somewhat jerky speedometer needle. the speedometer seems to "reset" after the vehicle stop for a while. estimated cost of repair is $98-$105 "evaluation and $550-$600 actual repair which includes parts and labor. *nm |
