The plastic !! speedometer cable gears (2) failed, causing speedometer failure, at oil temp light to flash, check engine light to come, erratic idle, cruise control failure, engine stall. If this is not dangerous I don't know what else is !! cost me $1300 to have it fixed and yes the parts are available !
