Durango 8-cyl

Speedometer quit working and (subsequently) now the crusie control will not work either. Speedometer began failing approx. 1 year ago and would not indicate vehicle speed until moving in excess of 30 mph. Now the speedometer is completely inoperative requiring replacement of the complete instrument cluster assembly.
