| Description of the problem | The speedometer only works intermittently. It will seem to be reporting the correct speed then changes to a speed we could not be going. Usually under reporting the correct speed. We will be going between 50 and 60 mph and it will read 30. This has been going on for several years and we have tried to compensate by using the tachometer but lately i don't feel i can trust it either. The repair is between $400 and $500 and i now read others are having the same problem. I'm sure there are many others like me who have not reported this issue because i only found out about this site today. |
