“The contact stated when the speedometer read 70 MPH, the vehicle was traveling 97.3 MPH. The dealership determined the gear bushing was bad and needed to be replaced. The part number for the gear was: 01m-409-187. The part number for the bushing was: 095-409-190. The dealership informed the contact, the manufacturer needed to keep the old gear and bushing. The contact did not agree and wanted the old parts.”
