2 Instrument Panel problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2006

Complete speedometer failure while vehicle is being driven. Loss of all data regarding speed vehicle is traveling, and at times, all information from the engine temperature gauge and fuel gauge. Issues with Neon speedometers are widely published on the internet. I am shocked to see that there has never been a recall for such a well documented vehicle failure.
