THE DRIVER OBSERVED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN TRAVELING EXTENDED DISTANCES. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING AROUND CURVES WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF KNOWING THE DESIRED SPEED. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE CONTRIBUTED TO MALFUNCTIONS OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000.
