Could be a variety of things. Best bet: take it to the dealer, it should be fixed under the warranty....if not, write back....[sm=smiley14.gif]

BTW, they SHOULD plug in a sensor to your car to get the readout of the problem....if they don't, leave VERY QUICKLY...[sm=smiley4.gif]

It is a very common problem with the SRT-4's. They are known for having a twitchy speedo needle between 70 & 75 MPH. Check out the SRT forum, I've read a lot about it there and DC has no current fixes for this problem. They're pretty much just telling you that you have to live with it.[sm=smiley21.gif]

Maybe they figure that at high speed, you have other things to look at than the dash...[sm=smiley5.gif]
