The contact owns a 2001 International 4700lp series box truck. While driving with the cruise control activated, the contact noticed that all the gauges on the instrument panel would stop functioning when the vehicle drove over a bump in the road. The odometer also did not indicate the amount of miles traveled. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership but was offered no assistance. The current and failure mileages were unknown. Updated 07/26/10. The consumer stated the speedometer was not working, as well as the fuel gauge, temp, oil and odometer. Updated 09/28/10.
The gauges and speedometer quit working on the dash of the 2001 International model 4700. So far there have been no consequences but I have been hearing that it is a hazardous occurence because of the possibility of a fire in the dashboard. Talking to other owners of International trucks they have all experienced the same thing, one with a fire occuring.
