| Description of the problem | All of a sudden the speed odometer jumps to 90 and we were almost stopped. Then it stayed on 0 for a while we were driving, then just jumps around. It is never accurate. Checked with dealer and they reported to us that this has been a real problem with this model of vehicle. They said it was the gage cluster going out and there have been lots of them recently coming in with this problem. And the repair cost is between $450. 00 - 500. 00 . I feel this is a manufacturing malfunction and they should repair these vehicles free of charge to vehicle owners because this is unsafe and it should not be malfunctioning like this. Its not just a few vehicles with this same problem its alot!! |
