What is wrong
The electronic speedometer sensor can seize, causing the speedometer and cruise control (if the car is equipped with cruise control) to stop functioning.
The risk
The loss of cruise control will cause temporary loss of control of vehicle speed. Loss of the speedometer will result in the operator not knowing the actual speed of the vehicle.
The fix
Dealers will install a new speedometer drive gear, electronic sensor, and flexible shaft assembly.
