“My 2005 Impala speedometer and temperature gauge are working when they want to. I set the cruise controll at 70 MPH and car seems to do fine. I dont use the cruise controll and try to hold the car at 70 MPH and got a ticket for doing 82 in a 65. After getting the ticket on 12 march the speedometer after either 20 minutes of sitting or driving does not read right says below zero, then I turn car off and on to try and reset the guages work on and off.”
