: the contact stated the temperature gauge in the instrument cluster goes all the way around which interferes with the speedometer's reading. The two needles sometimes hit each other. Also, the gas gauge continues to go around. The dealership told the contact that there are two locations in the United States that can repair the instrument cluster, and it would have to be sent to them. Updated 2/9/2006 -
