The speedometer jumps up and down while the car is in motion. Occasionally, the speedometer stops working completely. We have complained about this before times and now the dealership says that we need to replace the speedometer assembly including cable. I was informed that it is on a nationwide back order and there are several at this dealership awaiting the same fix. Is there anything anyone can do to look into the numerous electrical and mechanical issues this vehicle seems to be experiencing?.
While driving uphill at 45 mph consumer moved to left lane to pass a vehicle, vehicle was a bit slow passing, so consumer floored gas pedal, but nothing happened.
