I am reporting a defect with the speedometer of my 1990 nissan pickup. I found that due to age that the speedometer needle droops down toward the face /dial of the speedometer and started rubbing. It made contact and stopped indicating at approx. 45 MPH the first time. This got my son a ticket. I didn't believe him when he told me he wasn't speeding until I got a ticket. This time the needle was stuck at approx. 37 MPH and wouldn't go any higher. I have cut the end of the needle off twice since then and it looks like it is getting ready to rub again. I hope that this will make owners aware of this problem and may prevent them from getting a speeding ticket..detnegr t ag a.
