“I purchased my vehicle last year and I am having problems with my speedometer and my RPM gage. I was driving and my speedometer just kept moving up and finally it just got stuck at 120. It doesn't move from there and it is a very big safety issue. My wife uses the vehicle mostly and is on the freeway quite a bit and its a concern because you have no idea what your speed. We are basically guessing and that isn't safe for me or my kids. We have contact our dealer were we purchased it and I would have to pay $100.00 for the deductible. …”
NHTSA complaint #10262726, filed 2009-03, 55,000 miles“The speedometer needle began catching, not moving smoothly. After about 2 weeks it would not reset to 0 when stopped then after 1 more day it quit registering completely.”
NHTSA complaint #10690807, filed 2015-02, 58,908 miles“While driving on interstate when speedometer started reading 80 then 90 then 100, then eventually 120 MPH. Pulled over, speedometer only returned to 45. Had to start and stop engine 7 times to get to reset. Happens approximately every 2 weeks. Can't count on its accuracy for my safety in driving.”
