Very frequently, it will register near 5 mph when the car is not moving. It appears that something in the speedometer mechanism is rubbing at low speeds. I have taken it in to have it repaired under warrenty once with negative results, it still registers improperly at 0 mph. Does anyone know how the speedometers for these cars are designed, if they are subject to dragging, and if they are easily repaired? I am somewhat skeptical of having the 'experts' fiddle with my car, even under warranty. MEL ihuxn!tfilm 841002.1444
