Defect Description:
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
I am complaining about my new $ 79,000 BMW 440i that I just took possession of. I found out that the speedometer doesn't really tell you how fast you are driving. In SD the max speed on our interstate is 80mph. However, in my new car when the speedometer says you are going 80mph you are really only going 76mph. I consider that a serious safety issue since you never really know how fast you are going in any given situation. I also own an Audi S4 and when it says you are going 80mph, you really are going 80mph. Also, all my American cars give you the real speed at which you are driving. I can't believe our automobile safety laws permit this. [XXX] Vermillion SD INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
