This is going to sound weird but has anyone else noticed that their speed needle is rubbing against the plastic at start up. Did they get rid of the sweeping motion for the newer ex's? When I first startup my ex and my needle sweeps it sometimes rubs against the plastic [I can hear it]. I can see marks that are evidence that it does it pretty consistently.

No issue here. Sounds like something is out of adjustment.

My 2013 Limited does not sweep when started.
 


















Yes they removed the sweep at startup on the later models
