Speedometer first showed speed of 60 when sitting still. I turned off the engine, restarting it 3 times and the speedometer reset. But a few days later it once again stuck and I had just started it. This time at 48 at all times whether the engine is on or off, idling of traveling. It continues to be stuck at 48 at all times, never decreasing or increasing.

Filed Aug 8, 2016 · Acceleration, Airbags · 120,000 miles · CA

As of 2011 (while driving on freeways in multiple occasions) I've been having electrical issues such as my fuel level gage would read full and vehicle would shut off cause no gas in tank, air bags sensor would show it on when no one is sitting in the passenger seat, and there are some electrical issues on driver seat controls not working, dash board gages not showing readings while vehicle is in motion (rmp, speedometer, oil, gas).

The speedometer doesnt work.

Filed Feb 23, 2016 · Acceleration · 125,000 miles · NM

The speedometer has become unreliable; it sticks / jerks while driving after which it does not display an accurate speed. I've had my speedometer read 30mph while completely stopped. It has a greater tendency to stick around 50-60mph. Repeatedly starting the engine, causing the speedometer to go through its reset cycle will move the needle back to 0mph in approximately 5mph increments for every start. This only provides a bit of reliability for short trips.

Car will not accelerate. Revs up really high without acceleration.

Filed Nov 23, 2015 · Acceleration, Visibility · 80,000 miles · MN

First my rear wiper and rear washer stopped working but when you turn the button it sounds like it wants to go. Second my speedometer is all over the board. Sometimes it runs low, sometimes it's higher and at times it just won't move. It has also been off the board pointer down at the prnd321. Third my oil gauge stopped working.
