Description of the problem	While driving to work my instrument panel and gauges started flashing, my speedometer and rpm odometer would "jump" from 0 rpm and 0 mph to 2500 rpm and 70 mph "bouncing" between those readings. There had been a recall on the stop lamp so i took my car in to get this replaced explaining what my car as doing. The hyundai dealer "confirmed" that this issue was the cause. After having the stop lamp replaced it did not do it again for a few months. On 10/29/2013, 10/30/2013 and 11/01/2013 it began to do the exact same thing. When i took it back in they ran a diagnostic costing me $100 dollars, which they then "informed" me that it was the instrument cluster. So i spent $1377 to replace it (of course i was 2,000 miles outside of the warranty at this point as my husband did not think it necessary to get the extended one when we purchased it), i finally got my car back on wednesday 11/13/2013 and it seemed fine until today 11/17/2013 when it started doing it again. Not only did i have to deal with a complete lack of professionalism from the dealership but my car is still not fixed.
