Speedometer on 2002 Hyundai is defective, the dial just stops working dropping to zero for periods of time - I spoke to the dealership if my car had under 65,000 miles they would fix it free (which seemed to be an awareness of the issue in may car & others).
1) engine light seems to come on at least once a month 2) fan knob for heating/air conditioner does not work on 1 or 2, it will only work on 3 or 4. This is a new problem.
