Description of the problem | The speedometer head has been problematic since the purchase date. The original speedometer head was replaced in december 1997,after repeated complaints to the dealership. Less than a year after the warranty expired,it needs to be replaced again due to needle fluctuation. This is unacceptable due to the safety concerns. We contacted your agency by phone on december 9th,1999 but have not yet received the complaint forms. Please send these so we can go forward in correcting this matter. Thank you for your time and consideration. *ak |
