1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/19/2015

Drove to work the other morning and notice by lunch time that when I started to drive out of driveway it was not showing miles I was traveling. This had done it to me before in SC and the goodyear service man couldn't find the problem. But it started working again while they had it. He stated that he'd heard that my car was known to do this. But now for 3 days I'm driving blind on the feel. Until I can get some one to look at it.
