| Description of the problem | For 2 years my truck has had issues with the lights on the dashboard turning on and off for no reason. Now the lamp out, abs and brake light are on all the time. Leaving my left turn signal unable to work. When the dashboard dies, nothing will work. This includes the lights, windshield wipers, speedometer, and all other gauges on the dashboard. I have brought it in on a few occasions to be fixed and was told they could not fix the problem because they do not know what's causing it. If driving the truck at night or on a rainy day, this could be very dangerous for obvious reasons. I have read other complaints on this website for the same thing. Something needs to be done before someone gets killed! |
