Description of the problem | Speedometer needle was tacky last week while driving in town around 45-50 mph. I watched the gauge and the problem seemed to have corrected itself. Yesterday, the speedometer completely went crazy while i was driving, quit working at 25 mph, and when i slowed down, the needle went below the mph gauge line and is now pointing straight down, blocking my view of the gear shift panel on the instrument cluster. I have 44,000 miles or so on this vehicle and just bought it used two weeks ago. |
