“The digital speedometer, odometer and turn signal indicators on the dashboard console disappear frequently. This happens more in cold weather than in warm weather, and they will reappear temporarily if I bang on the dash, but then they disappear again. As a result, I am unable to tell how fast I am going and received a speeding ticket.”
