“When driving my vehicle that speedometer on the RPM does not work, and now I was told that the computer was messed up. I have replaced the battery, and then the fuse under the seat gets really hot, and something needs to be done about it. I have even got a ticket for speeding and my speed o meter was set at 65 and I was told by the highway patrol that I was going 75.”
NHTSA complaint #10557565, filed 2013-12, 10,600 miles“My daughter was driving locally yesterday 7/1/18 and making a right hand turn at a slow speed. She lost control and collided with another vehicle in oncoming traffic. She was injured. The cars brake lights had just gone out and the blower is going on and off. I assume this is an electrical problem for which my VIN is not displaying a recall. There is now damage to the wheel and rear drivers side fender, clearly displaying that the vehicle spun out of control, based on the 2 vehicle impact points.”
