Description of the problem	incident #3 this is the third time my car instrument panel did this under 25,000 miles. I was driving down the road and i can see that i am actually moving but none of my instruments are. None of them move all the while the car door ajar lights are on so after checking the doors 3-4 times i just drove on as they were clearly closed . Fueled up the car and restarted. Instruments all a go . Sometimes it takes overnight before the panel works again. Airbag light has been on for 6 months and check engine light is always popping on and off . How will i know if the van is really is danger of breaking down , or perhaps running out of gas as this van has cried wolf too many times . I will never know if a problem really exist . I consider this a major safety issue . I have received an airbag recall, so that's one down but when will they recall the whole instrument panel it is either shutting completely down or popping up check engine light . I have taken this car in for this check engine light several times. They just say " maybe you didn't put the lid on the gas tank right" . So at one time that lid was replaced. I am not under warranty any longer but i don't like the idea of driving down the interstate with 4 kids and not knowing how fast iam going or if i am running out of gas. Like i said before the instrument panel just not working at all is a major defect . Iam not sure but i think the system is corrupt. Planning to trade if action is not taken in the near future. I pay for a reliable car and that's not what iam getting . I hope there are others who have had this experience so that the instrument panel will be recalled.
