Consumer speedometer doesn't give correct reading. Reading indicates vehicle is going much faster. Dealer's safety inspection of vehicle found nothing wrong. After wheel alignment was done wiring harness was moved too close to exhaust system. Vehicle almost caught on fire & startedd smoking severely. Wires on exhaust wall melted. Dealer said wires were moved backed to where they belonged & it would be fine.
