I've called the original dealership where i purchased the vehicle, they said the 03's and 04's were recalled, but the 05's weren't. I was also told…

Driving on the highway at about 65 miles per hour, speedometer suddenly started fluctuating wildly and now will not work. The needle sits anywhere from 0 mph to 120 mph but is never accurate. I could be going down the highway at 65 mph and the speedometer reads 120 mph, or completely stopped and the speedometer reads 90 mph. *tr
