Gauge cluster malfunctioned, resulting in no speedometer or tachometer. This results in having to guess your speed. The only correction is replacement of the entire gauge cluster and the odometer cannot be reset. This is the second replacement in 12 months.

Cruise control, according to the owner's manual, reads that the vehicle is surpose to have 4 functions; set the speed, /O resume the speed/ to accelerate, and to slow down. When holding the set button in, it's suppose to slow down, but instead, it accelerates. This causes the consumer to almost rear end someone. Consumer took vehicle to dealer, and they said the car was functioning properly.
