| Description of the problem | Jan. 13, 2016 while traveling south on route 17, in north carolina towards raleigh, the sipped limit was 70 mph. I looked down and noticed i was moving at 80 mph, based on the dash speedometer. When i let off the gas pedal, the truck slowed down but the speedometer remained at 80 mph. I changed my digital setting from fuel economy to digital mph and noticed this mode seemed to be accurate, however the dash speedometer remained at 80 mph. My wife took a video of the problem with her phone. By the time we arrived in raleigh, nc, the dash mounted speedometer was close to 100 mph. We parked for several hours while attending a meeting with the senator. On the way home and heading back north on route 17, the speedometer started dropping back. By the time we got home, the speedometer was only off by approximately 5 mph compared to the digital speedometer. Parked the truck in the garage over night. When using the truck the following day, the speedometer seemed to matched up again. Dealer replaced the entire instrument cluster in order to correct the issue. |
