The gas gauge and the tachometer on my car both are not working properly. When I fill up the car, the gas gauge doesn't reset and often falls over into the speedometer. The tack hasn't worked in over a year. Warranty expired on the car. Mechanics said I'd have to replace the entire panel, giving my car an incorrect read on the mileage.
