“This is a problem centered on the electronic speedometer. Approximatly at least once within every 50 miles the speedometer will fail. The most dangerous result of this failure is the anti-lock brake system which will lock up the rear brakes if this situation (disengagement of the speedometer) occurs at the same time as braking is occuring!!!!!!! Brakes function normaly after the failure however. Without the speedometer functioning the dashboard warnings also engage. I have found that a quick 'rap' to the dashboard will re-engage the speedometer and cure the problem. …”
