What owners wrote
Vehicle gas gauge and odometer gauges clusters are not working this puts us in danger I did not know how much gas I need and how fast I was going this should be fixed by the manufacturer because it was a cluster defect
The speedometer regularly fails to work, usually reading an incorrect speed (checked against a handheld GPS device) and occasionally does not work at all.
