Description of the problem | It started this fall maybe closer to winter. But all of a sudden the speedo stuck at about 70 miles an hour. At first i thought it was a glitch but when it happened more and more now i know that it is a problem. The safety issue is there are others out there having the same problem and when you think you are going a certian mph and your really not some might get frustrated with others even though they may be in the wrong. I can just see all the road rage happening because they think they are goind 70 and they are really going 80 or more. I have been watching my tachometer but i dont know what others are doing. This needs to be addressed. Because i am being told that it will cost 600+ to fix. How many of those having this problem are going to spend that kind of money to fix a speedometer? |
