Temperature gauge stopped working and is stuck over 260 degrees, initially moved back but now remains totally turned to the right. Speedometer also stopped working, would turn on ignition and the speedometer would read 30 mph in idle and I would begin driving. To calculate speed I would have to take the speedometer speed-30mph and it would equal the actual speed. Then stopped at a red light, speedometer only decreased to 50 mph, by the time I reached home the speedometer read 95 mph in idle. Additionally cd player also stopped working. It occurs all the time and the consequences are not knowing true temperature or speed of the vehicle posing a danger to all on the road and myself vehicle not yet repaired.
