My car listed above is the X model. The speedometer reads 19 MPH when the car is not moving. When the car is moving it reads 19 MPH plus the speed I am traveling. How do I fix this problem?

Good morning,

This sounds like a problem with the dash cluster.

It is a module that displays the speed based on input from the vehicle speed sensor. When there is no signal, it should be 0.

You would need to remove the cluster and send it out to a place that repairs clusters. There are many and it runs about $150.00 to $200.00.

The cluster has four bolts attaching it to the dash panel.
