    The speedometer would start to indicate speed which was lower than what the car was going. This would get real exciting when activating "Resume" on the cruise control. The speedometer mechanism was replaced under warranty. The problem could be instigated by running the instrument lights at full brightness.
    The car now has issues with the other gauges not resetting correctly on startup.
