The speedometer / mileage odometer have intermittently stopped working on several occasions. I brought this up to the dealership since prior to the vehicle going out of the 36mo/36000 mile warranty and was told there was nothing wrong with it, there obviously is. The final time they went out was on nov 10th while we were going through the mountains of tennessee on our way to nc. It has not worked since.
