Weird thing is if I notice this before I pull away simply turning the car off and then back on again the speedometer will function normally everytime. The tachometer works just fine for me though. I took the car to the dealer and there were no error codes to read and they couldnt reproduce the symptom. So next time I take it to them theyre going to have to keep it over night when it gets cold enough because that is the only time I've seen this behavior. Didnt see this problem all summer and as soon as it got cold out again it came back...
yeah thats exactly what im experiencing. the car stays out in the cold overnight and the dials wont work. then when i restart the car in warmer weather its back to normal. you should leave the car in the cold and drive it to the dealer without turning off the engine..then you can reproduce the behavior
