| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: During normal highway and or city driving, the speedometer will register a rate of speed higher then actual. this speed has been recorded as anywhere from 5 to 50 mph high. when the speedometer is reading high, upon stopping, the speedometer will remain at the amount of speed that it is registering high. for example, if traveling at 30 mph and the speedometer reads 50 mph, when the vehicle is stopped, the speedometer will still read 20 mph. once this problem starts, it is very consistent on its regularity. a simple solution is to repeatedly turn the vehicle off and restart it. the speedometer will drop 5 mph with each cycle until it reaches 0 mph. however, the problem will likely reoccur on the trip that i am about to make. my coworker is having the exact same problem in a very similar vehicle. upon contacting the service department at my local dealership, i was told this problem had been seen on other occasions and the solution is to replace the instrument cluster at an approximate cost of $600.00. *jb |
