WTF??? Speedometer "breaks" this morning...
WTF is this sh*t? Goddamned car's not even three weeks old and the speedo up and breaks on me this morning. I was going through a school zone, looked down to check my speed and NOTHING. The odometer quit working as well so I suspect the entire cable has broken loose. Anybody else have this happen yet?

Rep Power: 0 The odometer quitting isn't so bad, huh? Especially if you lease the car. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
Really should get it fixed though. Without speedo working, could be costly for you. (Ticket wise) [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 Well, it's prolly not the cable. The thing started working like nothing happened when I left work, but then the *********a went "off" AGAIN half-way home. This VSS idea sounds pretty plausible and I'll mention it to the dealer when I take it in tomorrow.

Rep Power: 0 Took it to the dealer this A.M. Apparently the speedo head has gone bad. They've ordered the part and I'll have to take it back when it gets in. What a pain in the ***. It works fine for around twenty minutes, then goes bad.
I've been memorizing speed to RPM today so that when it is out I know how fast I'm going. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 if they are replacing your whole instrument cluster, your mileage will start at 0 again, this might seem good but really isnt because it can hurt the resale value of the car, plus they record the old mileage anyway
edit: whoops forgot part of my message[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] should make more sense now
