Description of the problem | Intermittent and erratic speedometer problem. Speedometer will sometimes appear to register correctly, other times will be inoperative, and at other times will register the wrong speed. This has been especially dangerous at night when it is difficult to use exterior visual cues of actual speed to know that the speedometer is giving the wrong information. This has led to several near accidents due to inaccurate knowledge of speed when approaching intersections and curves. |
